Boots shoppers have heaped praise on a budget-friendly serum that "cures acne" and leaves skin smooth.

Like many retailers, Boots keeps shoppers updated on what they can expect to find in store and online via social media. Its website boasts loyal fans too, with hoards of customers sharing their thoughts on a range of items.

One product in particular has racked up a string of five star reviews. The Ordinary's Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% is a potent skincare treatment that aims to "tackle the appearance of enlarged pores, uneven skin tone and combat blemishes".

The beloved item, which costs an affordable £5.60, is a "serum that regulates sebum production and blemish-causing bacteria for a visibly clearer complexion". Its effectiveness and price tag has made it a big hit among beauty lovers and, at the time of writing, it boasts 211 five star reviews.

One fan said: "I will say is the best products I ever get. It has really helped with my oily face and my acne. I will recommend it and definitely get it again. 100 stars".

Another said: "I've used The Ordinary products for years and the Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% is one of my holy grail products. It doesn't irritate or sting like some other niacinamide products does and it's also helped reduce the appearance of my hyperpigmentation and smooths and brightens up my skin. A little goes a long way so it lasts quite a while. I've tried a number of other products but keep coming back to this one."

A third penned: "Worked wonders on zits for my pre-teen. In fact the only thing that worked for him. Little goes a long way." And another fan said: "I use this everyday before my moisturiser, I have sensitive skin and this is the only thing that gets rid of those annoying small bumps and leaves my skin so shiny".

And another shopper added: "I've been using this for months, absolutely love it. Initially I was using it on my face and it helped with spots caused because of mask wearing, but it has also helped what I thought were the deep hormonal spots. I am prone to spots on my chest and back, within 3 days the spots on my chest had gone and haven't returned, and I'm working on my back, it seems to be clearing up but is taking a bit longer, but I have faith it will work. I love this product!!"
