Bioglan Beauty Collagen tablets (PR, available HERE for £22.99) - Bioglan are my go to for collagen supplements. I’ve been using them for a couple of years. These are really high strength. The only downside is the size of the tablets - they’re huge which makes them difficult to swallow. I usually get the gummies.

Would I repurchase? I’ve bought the gummies from the same range.

Medik8 Lipid-Balance Cleansing Oil (PR, available from Medik8, Space NK, Cult Beauty, Look Fantastic, Feel Unique, Face The Future for £27) - this has to be my favourite cleansing oil to date!

Zoetic CBD oil - peppermint flavour (PR, available HERE for £45 but you can save 30% using my code victoria30) - I've taken CBD for a few years now and Zoetic are the best I've tried! These aren't like the majority of CBD oils that taste earthy and gross. This peppermint flavour is really minty and refreshing. I take CBD to help with my endometriosis pain - I usually take a dropper a day but will have an extra one if I'm having a bad pain day. It's also brilliant to help with stress and anxiety too. I won't be without it now!

Dermalogica Smart Response Serum (PR, available from Dermalogica, Space NK, Look Fantastic, Feel Unique, Skin City for £130) - This is an absolutely gorgeous serum! It's a beautiful creamy gel texture that feels really nourishing and protective. It's brilliant to soothe, hydrate and calm skin. The only downside is the price - it's expensive but it's really meant to be 4 serums in 1 so when you look at it like that it's not too bad. I went through it fairly quickly. I was using it once a day, 3 pumps at a time (that sounds a lot but it's what was needed!) and it lasted just over a month. 
Marks out of 10: 8/10
Do I recommend it? Yes
Would I repurchase? No, it's out of my price range.

Marks out of 10: 8/10
Do I recommend it? Yes
Would I repurchase? No, it doesn't beat my current favourite soothing serum (Algenist AA Barrier serum - read my review HERE).
