Vitamin A

Best for: Wrinkles

This powerhouse ingredient is responsible for retinol and retinoids, and is considered to be the gold standard of anti-ageing treatments, increasing collagen production and plumping out lines. But with such efficacy comes a warning to those with delicate skin, which can become irritated, so start off by using it twice a week to help build up a tolerance then gradually increase. We rate NSpa Nightly Revitalising Retinol Capsules, £10, spaathome.co.uk, to deliver the exact amount of serum you need to soften wrinkles and restore buoyancy.

Vitamin B

Best for: Acne, enlarged pores

If you want to get technical, we’re talking specifically about vitamin B3. You might have heard of it by its more common name of niacinamide. It boosts elasticity, so stretched pores look more refined and the skin’s surface appears smoother and more even. If you suffer from blemishes, this anti-inflammatory ingredient will help to minimise the redness associated with spots. Use La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo+,
