There's one clear cut reason why there is so much hype around skincare brands like The Ordinary and The Inkey List: they serve up luxe-feeling, affordable products that actually work for a plethora of complexion concerns.
And now we're all slowly learning that effective skincare doesn't have to cost the earth, beauty buffs are all raving about another inexpensive line: Garden of Wisdom (GoW).
Almost all of the collection costs less than a tenner, but a few of the products will be worth every penny if the glowing reviews are anything to go by.
GoW includes cold-press argan, prickly pear seed, squalane and rosehip oils in pump bottles reminiscent of The Ordinary's (just minus the dropper), each priced at £9.

No skincare range would be complete without a hyaluronic acid or niacinamide serum - both £9 - making them slightly pricier than The Ordinary's offerings.
Hyaluronic acid has been the beauty industry's buzz word for a while, but its impressive moisture-boosting properties mean it's here to stay.
Salicylic acid 2% serum, RetiStar retinol serum, and lactic acid 5% serum are also included in the £9 price bracket.

Other serums like the glycolic acid offering and eye contour come with a £12 and £18 price tag respectively.
Social media users have been calling the range 'the natural version of The Ordinary' for a while now: every single product formula is cruelty-free, suitable for vegans and free from alcohol, soya and silicones.
It seems like the products have a loyal following, with customers revealing on Reddit that they won't switch to any skincare that's not GoW.
"I've ordered from them for a long time now. Always very nice and have good products, love them," gushed one consistent customer.

Another shared: "I have two products already and a third is on its way to me, and so far it seems like my skin likes GOW much better than The Ordinary!"
