'I tried a 'wrinkle freezing' £18 anti-ageing serum that gave me better results than Botox in 30 seconds'

Beauty buffs are showering praise on an £18 anti-ageing skin serum that they claim works even better than Botox after just 30 seconds. The 'Botox in a bottle' serum has been hailed 'amazing' by those who have tried it, and it promises to plump and smooth the skin after its first use.

Smaller bottles of the anti-ageing serum cost £18. Larger bottles are £75, but Manchester Evening News readers can get 35% off when they use discount code SNAKESERUME*, making it a more purse-friendly £48.75.

Rodial's best selling Snake Serum O2 has built up a loyal fanbase over the last 15 years, the unique serum is inspired by viper venom peptides and this is where it gets its name. It uses SYN®-AKE tripeptides that give a firmer, lifted appearance by mimicking the mild tightening activity seen with viper venom.

It also contains skincare favourite hyaluronic acid which helps retain moisture in the skin as well as an oxygen carrier that is known to deliver vitality. All of the ingredients work together to make a cooling hydra-gel formula leaves skin looking plumped with a healthy-looking dewy finish.

Not only that but it uses a blurring complex to help even out the look of fine lines and wrinkles. As a result the serum has been called a 'must have' product that a number of shoppers insist on using everyday either before makeup or on skincare only days.

The 'amazing' anti-ageing serum was tested in a clinical trial on 30 people aged between 32 and 55 over 67 days. At the end of the trial, 93% of participants said that their skin felt smooth after using the serum, while 90% said their wrinkles were reduced.

97% of participants also agreed that skin felt firmer, and 90% reported that the look of nasolabial folds (frown lines around the mouth and nose) had reduced.

The anti-ageing serum is proving popular amongst shoppers of different ages and skin types, with one saying she even finds it more effective than Botox.

One shopper with combination skin wrote: "I use this product everyday. I use it in the morning either before applying make up or just on its own. Makes my skin so plump and fresh! I also use it before bed, honestly my skin is looking amazing right now!"

A second penned: "It tingles a little when you put it on, but you know it’s working. Truly amazing tightens the skin smoothies it out. I tried Botox a few years ago and didn’t really see the difference, with the snake skin I can tell after 30 seconds. I’m obsessed."

A third added: "Makes pores disappear! I love this product - it gives a great texture on the skin, makes fine lines and pores disappear and gives a perfect canvas for makeup. Great long term anti-ageing properties too, I would buy again."

It's been described as 'Glass Powder in a bottle', although Rodial is the most popular snake serum on the market, a similar product can be found at skinChemists.

You can buy Rodial's Snake Serum 02 here for £75, use discount code SNAKESERUME* to get 35% off. It's also available in a mini size that's ideal for travel for £18.
