The £5 serum is part of the retailer's own-brand skincare line, which is ingredients-led and designed to work to its highest level while still remaining cheap.

Made up of eight individual products, Boots says that its ingredients "allows you to personalise your regime without breaking the bank."

The Hyaluronic Acid Serum is one of the most popular products in the line, which has been hailed for leaving skin smooth, plump and rejuvenated almost instantly.

Hyaluronic acid is a must-have ingredient that provides many benefits for the skin, for those who are not so clued up on skincare. The benefits include increased skin elasticity and a reduction in wrinkles.

The affordable serum is currently the top-rated product in the Boots Ingredients line, with a four out of five star rating on the retailer's website.

Included in the description, the serum is perfect for all skin types, leaving the skin feeling softer and more moisturised.

One glowing review read: "I've never really used anything like this before but as I am now 50 thought it was time to try something. I had researched various other creams but as budget is tight at the moment I thought I would give this a go. It's amazing!

"After just a couple of days I have noticed a huge difference in how my skin looks and feels. Less blotchy and so much smoother. Don't think I'll be bothering with the expensive stuff. For me this is a game (or should I say face!) changer!"

A second person said: "I’ve used this product over the summer and it’s been a game changer! Morning and evening religiously and I’ve seen a difference in my skin - so much so I’ve ditched the foundation because my skin looks great. Yes it’s not as thick as some serums but it goes far!

"Only downside is I’ve only found it in one boots store of the 3 I visit and it’s my least favourite one to get to!!"

And a third raved: "I have been using this serum, along with the moisturiser, for over a week now and have really noticed a difference. My skin is noticeably much more hydrated, radiant and brighter. I use the serum on damp skin and apply the moisturiser on top to seal.

"The serum has quite a thin texture, but is easily applied and absorbed. I haven’t had any issues with the dispenser as mentioned in some of the other reviews, it has worked perfectly for me.

"I like the stripped back design of the packaging. I will definitely be continuing to use this product and will be trying more of the Boots Ingredients Range as I am very impressed. Rivals other much more expensive serums I have tried."

And one concluded: "This works just as good as any hyaluronic acid . I’ve used the one from The Ordinary and this works the exact same. If you’re on a budget but want a good product this is for you x 100% worth it."

Shoppers can purchase the Boots Ingredients Hyaluronic Acid Serum for £5 online now.
