If you happen to be a woman in your 40s who has noticed that your skin is not glowing back at you when you look in the mirror, or that your skincare products don't quite give the same results they once used to - it's time to find something that does.

As a lifestyle writer, who frequently writes about beauty and skincare products, I decided to give Elemis Pro Collagen Anti Wrinkle Marine Cream a try having read up on the purpose of the product's ingredients. I had just turned 40 and noticed the skin on my face had been feeling dehydrated. The only way to describe it is, it basically felt like it needed nourishment.

I headed to QVC and purchased a gift set that not only included the best-selling moisturiser but also the Apricot Toner, the Pro-Collagen Marine Oil, body butter and shower gel.

Immediately I noticed how moisturising the Elemis Pro Collagen Anti Wrinkle Marine Cream was, it glided onto the surface of the skin with ease, gave me a glow and by the end of the day, the skin still felt moisturised and nourished, which was the first time I had experienced results like this.

Why not treat you or a friend with this top selling face cream this Christmas?

And although it keeps the skin nicely nourished all day, it doesn't feel too much, especially for someone with combination skin like mine that is super dehydrated one minute and extremely oily the next. It's nice and light, smells and feels great, and when applied under foundation it gives the skin a little extra glow.

Because it had made such a difference, I decided to gift two of my friends of the same age with the top selling moisturiser, because once you turn 40, conversations with friends tend to centre around the skin and what it should and should not be doing, so I knew the Elemis moisturiser would be greatly received and appreciated.

After my friends had used their Elemis moisturisers for a while, they fed back that it was just what their skin needed, and we all agreed that women in their 40s deserve a little luxury on the skin. Mariam added: "The Elemis moisturiser is so smooth. A small amount goes a long way and it gives good coverage. It also has a great texture and I have noticed a glow and firmness in my face since using it. I love this cream and can definitely say it has made a difference to my skin."

The brand says: "The cream that started it all. A truly iconic, award-winning anti-wrinkle moisturiser, proven to significantly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in just 2 weeks*, while quenching skin with 24 hours of hydration*. Formulated with powerful marine and plant actives, including our moisture-boosting superhero algae Padina Pavonica, Chlorella and Ginkgo Biloba, to improve firmness and deliver instant hydration.

"Our hero cream is infused with rose and mimosa, for a delicate floral aroma that is a delight to the senses. This lightweight gel-cream glides effortlessly onto the skin, leaving a silky-satin finish that is the perfect base for makeup on all skin types."

And I can confirm there are no lies told! To get your hands on the best-selling anti wrinkle moisturiser that comes in sizes 15ml, 30ml, 50ml and 100ml with prices starting at £37, head to Elemis, Boots or QVC.

Olay Anti-Wrinkle Day & Night Moisturiser is another popular cream which boasts lots of positive reviews. You can pick that up from Boots for £12.74.
