Despite juggling Royal duties and raising three young children, Kate Middleton never fails to impress with her radiant, youthful skin. The good news is that many of the products she uses are easily accessible – including a hydrating moisturiser that fights signs of stress.
The Princess of Wales has long been a fan of Lancome products, even choosing the brand’s Hypnose Mascara and Artliner eyeliner for her wedding day to create her iconic smokey eye look. However, today we’re focusing on Lancome’s Hydra Zen Night Anti Stress Face Cream, which reportedly has a permanent spot in Kate’s bathroom cabinet.
Retailing at £49 for a 50ml pot, this night cream works wonders while you sleep, targeting dry and rough skin to reveal a glowing complexion. Its lightweight formula absorbs quickly, leaving no sticky residue behind.
Enriched with natural plant extracts and a generous dose of hyaluronic acid, the cream nourishes the skin while protecting against environmental factors that can cause irritation. In addition to receiving the Royal seal of approval, this skincare gem has garnered numerous five-star reviews from satisfied Boots customers.
One shopper raved: “I have only been using this for a week but I’ve fallen in love with it. The texture is lovely and soft, not too heavy and sinks in easily without leaving a sticky residue. The scent is very gentle but noticeable in a good way.”
Another added: “This is amazing after using it for a couple of nights. My skin is so soft, I can’t use anything else now.”
However, despite the rave reviews, not everyone is smitten. One disgruntled user noted: “I normally adore this moisturiser and have been using it for many years but something has changed, my skin is continuously breaking out every single time I use it!”.
If you’re keen to get skin as radiant as Princess Kate’s, Lancome’s Hydra Zen Night Anti Stress Face Cream is available for £49 at Boots. Or, if you’re on the hunt for a day cream, Medik8’s new Total Moisture Daily Facial Cream, priced at £45, offers up to 100 hours of hydration and boasts clinically proven benefits for your skin barrier and microbiome.
