Boots fans claim £7.90 'game-changing' serum leaves skin 'plumped and younger'

Beauty fans have been raving over an affordable skincare product from Boots, with one even claiming it is "the secret to looking younger."

The high-street cosmetics chain is known to stock a wide variety of top-rated branded products that deliver good quality results, with one being The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane (30ml.)

Priced at a budget-friendly £7.90, this skincare product is infused with one percent retinol, which is a powerful anti-ageing ingredient that is said to have many skin clearing and anti-ageing benefits.

Designed to be used after cleansing as part of your evening skincare routine, this popular serum promises to reduce the appearances of fine lines, of photo damage and of general skin ageing.

It is worth remembering that, while it has its benefits, retinol can be harsh on the skin, especially if you have never used it before. That's why you should always use it sparingly every other day before building up a tolerance, and always use an SPF the next day.

It is also based to apply The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane after you have used any water-based serums and before any heavier treatments such as a night cream.

Multiple five-star reviews have hailed the skincare product in glowing five-star reviews, as many skincare fans say that it has "made them look younger."

One thrilled shopper said:" "Game-changer. Tried this after reading the reviews and have not looked back. 1 month of usage and my spots are clearing lovely and my daughter has commented on how much younger my skin looks."

A second happy fan wrote: "I have been using it for almost a year and I love what it does to my skin. I am 40 years old and always mistaken to be younger. This is my secret."

While a third reviewer wrote: "This is my second bottle of this stuff. When I started using it there was a marked improvement in the wrinkles around my eyes and the lids were less crepey, so much so that my daughter noticed the difference. I'm 56 so was chuffed with that. I've continued to use to maintain the results (also use with hyaluronic acide) I don't refrigerate mine and its still seems to be effective. I love the price and the simple packaging, which is recyclable."

And a fourth five-star review read: "Game changer!! Ive worked up from .2% to 1% over months (under a year) and these have been GREAT. I definitely have glowier smoother looking skin and it looks plumpier and healthier! I love it! Its like peeling new more youthful looking skin and it never dries out my skin so the squalene is a perfect addition!"

The £7.90 The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane 30ml can be purchased online.
