Every so often, a story emerges about how much some celebrity or other spends on their beauty regime. Take Rihanna who, it has been reported, spends £30,000 a week on the business of looking good.

And it’s not just celebrities who can be extravagant. A study last year by Groupon revealed that, on average,Britain spends a huge £1,352 a year on their appearance.

When it comes to skin serums does a prestige price tag deliver better results?

As the product many of us rely on to bring about visible anti-ageing benefits, this is the one we get asked about most often. Serums don’t always come cheap. A high-grade antioxidant serum is one of the best investments you can make in your skin’s future and it’s worth paying more for a good quality one!

Good raw ingredients can be pricey, so a cheaper serum may not contain a concentration high enough to really deliver results. Some brands even include a low-concentration “dusting” of an ingredient, just so they can mention it on the label.
