Beauty Pie’s bestselling anti-ageing cream is already a hit with shoppers who say it leaves skin ‘brighter and more supple’
Any makeup artist will tell you that the key to gorgeous makeup is skin prep. And I’ve just discovered the dreamiest moisturiser that was worn on the red carpet for the NTAs that is perfect for delivering a flawless, glowy base.
Since launching in 2017, the Super Healthy Skin Ultimate Anti-Aging Cream has been one of Beauty Pie’s most popular face creams, routinely topping its bestsellers list. But recently, the formula has had a makeover of its own – and even Holly Willoughby’s makeup artist is a fan.
Now known as the Super Healthy Skin Ultimate Anti-Aging Cream V 2.0, the beloved formula now features some additional skin-loving ingredients. The addition of 3% Vitamin C Complex is designed to boost radiance and even skin tone, while Niacinamide works to brighten and restore the skin barrier.

Meanwhile, O-LIFT Complex helps skin appear smoother, firmer, and lifted, with grape stem cells being rich in antioxidants. Said to be suitable for all skin types, this hydrating formula is perfect for anyone looking to achieve ‘fresher, more youthful-looking, radiant skin’.
Beauty Pie put the new product to the test in a clinical trial of 22 participants over four weeks and users gave it the seal of approval. From trial findings, the product is clinically proven to immediately boost skin hydration, while increasing firmness and elasticity, as well as reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in four weeks.
The cream is so good, that Holly Willoughby’s top makeup artist, Patsy O’Neil, used it as the base for the star’s glowy makeup look at the National Television Awards last weekend. In a recent Instagram post, Patsy announced to her 54.8K followers that she and her team got to use the new Super Healthy Skin Ultimate Anti-Aging Vitamin Cream V2.0 which was ‘a great base to start with’.
The vitamin cream has also been gaining quite a rapport over on Beauty Pie’s website since the launch. One skincare fan said: “Really pleased to have a more streamline approach to my skin care. This cream is so soft I’ve only been using for 2 days and already feel a difference to my skin. 100% will be buying again.”
A bridal makeup artist added: “I really love the original Super Healthy Skin Moisturiser and it’s a staple in my kit as a bridal makeup artist, I use it on most clients. So I was so excited to try out the new Super Healthy Skin 2.0! On first impressions, it smells lovely, but not in an overpowering way. It feels light on application but nourishing on my dry skin. I’ve been using it every morning for the past week and do feel like my skin feels brighter and more supple. Looking forward to seeing the results after 4 weeks!”
However, some have found it to be on the rich side, commenting: “Would have preferred the texture to be a bit lighter but good value for the ingredients.”
The moisturiser is usually £115, but shoppers can get it for under £30 when they become a Beauty Pie member. That’s because Beauty Pie is a subscription service that offers major discounts on its products for customers.
People can pay £10 per month, which gives them access to heavily discounted cosmetics and skincare items. Their products are made in a leading Swiss skincare lab, known to make formulas for many high-end skincare brands, though it’s not confirmed which brands, exactly.
As a beauty writer, I’ve tried dozens – if not hundreds – of different moisturisers over the last decade. And I have to say, this one seriously impressed me.
As someone who swears by Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Cream but winces at the price tag, I absolutely loved Beauty Pie’s new anti-aging cream and immediately drew comparisons due to its similar texture and consistency. While 50ml of Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Cream is £79, the Super Healthy Skin Ultimate Anti-Aging Cream V 2.0 is £29 with the subscription.
The texture is rich and creamy, but it absorbs quickly without feeling greasy, making it an ideal base for makeup. My foundation glided on effortlessly, and despite not wearing any highlighter on my cheeks, there was a noticeable and radiant glow that completed my makeup beautifully.
As well as being a great skincare prep product, it’s a great night moisturiser thanks to its thicker consistency. I usually like to mix and match my day and night skincare, but have found the Beauty Pie cream to be incredibly addictive to use. After a few days of use, my skin felt noticeably softer, more hydrated, with the niacinamide and vitamin C giving my complexion a more even tone with a healthy glow.
Another thing I love about this moisturiser is that it’s suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. My skin can be reactive, but I had no irritation, redness, or breakouts, which is always a win in my book.
In recent months I’ve interviewed a number of celebrities who also love Beauty Pie’s products. Anna Williamson says filming Celebs Go Dating takes its toll on her skin, so she relies on Beauty Pie’s Miracle Overnight Face Oil to keep it hydrated. Meanwhile, This Morning’s Queen of Clean, Lynsey Crombie said she ‘can’t be without’ the brands’ Über Youth Neck & Chest Super Lift Serum-Spray or their Super Healthy Skin Featherlight UVA/UVB SPF 50 Sunscreen + Primer .
But if you fancy giving their newly-reformulated Super Healthy Skin Ultimate Anti-Aging Cream V 2.0 a go, you can sign up to Beauty Pie and try it for under £30 here.
