Revive and repair your skin overnight with H2O Plus & This Works

Because my skin has become dehydrated and because I am in my late 20's (I'm ageing!), I have been looking for night time treatments/serums that will a) hydrate and nourish and b) make my skin smoother and plumper. I wouldn't say I have any visible wrinkles or deep lines, but I'm trying to do everything in my power to prevent them.
The two products - they are actually quite similar in that they give equally good results - that I have been loving using at night are the H2O Plus Sea Results  Deep Sleep Recovery Serum and the This Works No Wrinkles Night Repair. I could just do the same review for both of them, but let's try and break it up a bit.

"This retinol-enriched serum dramatically fades the look of expression lines while you sleep. Micro-encapsulated retinol is slowly released into the skin to visibly reduce surface lines, even tone, refine texture and boost radiance without irritation. Tri-peptides target expression lines, helping to reveal smoother-looking skin. Vitamin-rich sea fennel extract deeply hydrates and promotes overnight repair with antioxidant nutrients".

Firstly, if you haven't yet heard of H2O Plus, then you should definitely check out their range (Marks & Spencer sell it - here). Their products are formulated with marine nutrients, botanicals and plant extracts and promise to provide oil free hydration for all skin types. This Sea Results Deep Sleep Recovery Serum is the first product I have tried from the brand and I am very impressed. It smells fresh, it feels light and it hydrates and plumps skin. The serum has got a beautiful light texture that takes a few minutes to absorb. In the morning, I wake up to brighter, calmer and more refined skin. This is, quite possibly, one of my all time top 5 night treatments - this product gives my otherwise dull skin such a boost overnight, plus makes it so much softer. I imagine it being very effective at wrinkle fighting and believe that, if I continue using this (well, I most definitely will!), it is going to prevent a lot of things I am scared of (I am talking deeper lines, of course).

I go on about radiance boosting moisturisers and masks a lot - hey, who doesn't need one during the harsh late autumn/winter months? - but this truly is a star product. If you want more refined, smoother skin, then look no further.

"A luxurious night serum that reduces and delays the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Reduces signs of skin fatigue and premature ageing by attacking the glycotoxins that build up when you don't get enough sleep.
A formula of Persian Silk Tree extract, Cactus Flower extract and Retinol to prepare the skin for its night time reparations and to promote youthful radiance.
Readies the skin for moisturiser and revives tired skin, ensuring you wake up with the natural glow of eight hours’ sleep – regardless of how little you’ve had".

This is a new product and, as I said in the intro, I find the two serums very similar. This Works No Wrinkles Night Repair is perhaps a tiny bit richer, heavier in formula, but it gives the same reviving results. I haven't had this product for as long as the H2O Plus one, but I can already see that this one's just as effective. Again, it is brightening and ensures you wake up with a beautiful natural glow. Because of its slightly thicker formula it doesn't really sink into my skin - I actually wake up in the morning to find my face a little bit greasy, though this isn't a problem at all. After washing my face I can certainly see that my skin appears smooth and clear (thanks to this serum). Again, I believe this is an excellent wrinkle preventing serum - this may sound odd, but the skin on my face feels more toned and firm, though I am sure I should thank both of the products featured in this post.

See, if you asked me which of the two I would recommend, I wouldn't know what to say. They really are very similar (except the No Wrinkles Night Repair being slightly richer) and have both become my absolute must haves. If you are as scared of the ageing process as I am and are on the lookout for an effective night serum that has a lot of great benefits - y'know, brightening, calming, smoothing etc - then I am confident you'd be happy with either (or both!) of these.

H2O Plus Sea Results Deep Sleep Recovery Serum is available to buy from M&S and retails at £32.50.

You can buy the This Works No Wrinkles Night Repair here - the RRP is £45.
