I’m impressed!

Originally posted on influenster.com

I haven’t ever used M&S beauty products before so was intrigued to try the Prevent and Brighten Ultra Discovery Collection set. The set includes four minis; fresh faced hydrating cleanser, multi-action retinoid serum, youth-boosting day cream SPF30 and youthful radiance overnight cream. These are minis, 15ml, with the exception of the cleanser which is 50ml. The milky cleanser left my skin feeling hydrated after use. The serum is creamy, not fluid like, but absorbs well. The day cream has built in SPF30, and you can tell. It’s very thick to apply and takes a moment to sink into the skin. My skin is really hydrated after use, but does have a slightly oily feel, so this may not be for you if you are prone to breakouts. That said, I have started to notice an improvement in the fine lines on my forehead and my skin looks brighter, so appears to be living up to its claims.

Perfect for gifting

Originally posted on influenster.com

This is a lovely little set the packaging is really nice with good sized products. Love that it has a step by step guide on the box such as step one then step two up to step four so you know what order to use each product. None of the creams or serum has much of a scent so really good for anyone whose skin is sensitive to scents. Perfect for gifting.

3 out of 4 products great

Originally posted on influenster.com

Lovely looking gift set, i really liked the cleanser, night cream and serum, the application was lovely and left skin feeling soft. I was not keen on the day cream I found this to be very heavy in consistency and left skin feeling as though it was blocked. The products did smell lovely and would by all but the day cream again

High end quality leaving a rejuvenated feeling

Originally posted on influenster.com

My wife happily got involved and trialled this set on my behalf The Formula pack is a Prevent and Brighten set consisting of Fresh Faced Hydrating Cleanser, Multi Action Retinoid Serum, Youth Boosting Day Cream SPF30 and Youthful Radiance Overnight Cream. The overall opinion after a couple of weeks use is that it makes your skin feel rejuvenated and fresh, and all the products feel like high end quality products that absorb into your skin without leaving that uncomfortable greasy feel. The cleanser is particularly nice leaving an uplifting feel prior to continuing the other routine stages. This pack is definitely a 5 star hit and great products.

Cute little travel set

Originally posted on influenster.com

Great travel set. The products are perfect for trialing before purchasing the larger items. All the products give you a fresh and clean feel, while the serum is the standout product of this set and will purchase again in the future. But overall I’m really pleased and would recommend to friends and family.

High-street quality yet affordable skincare

Originally posted on influenster.com

As someone who's passionate about everything skincare, I was super excited to discover this new brand. Initially, I was sceptical about trying retailer’s brands. However, Formula’s Prevent & Brighten range pleasantly surprised me. Basically, you get high-street quality skincare for a fraction of the price. The Serum and Overnight Cream sound especially great being formulated with Retinoid Complex with powerful anti-aging properties. Day Cream with SPF is a must when using retinoids. Along with a gentle and nourishing cleanser, this set covers a full routine, making it a great option to get familiar with the line or a lovely present for a skincare lover. And this presentation box is looking so stylish! Formula’s Prevent & Brighten Line is more suitable for normal to dry skin, as the textures are rich, creamy and super hydrating. The products are very lightly fragranced, and it is only noticeable during application. The biggest downside for me here is the presence of microplastics and some strong preservatives, which are commonly used though. I wish more brands opted for better alternatives.
