From splashing out on Botox to wistful browsing around your local Boots, it’s likely your skincare splurges are fairly bank balance dependent. Of course, a hefty price tag doesn’t always mean a better product (take The Ordinary or The Inkey List, for example) but some skincare heavyweights are undeniably worth the investment.
