Skincare lovers snap up L'Oréal serum that's 'as good as Estée Lauder' for £10
We all love a beauty bargain, and this one's a real treat on the skin and the purse. Usually priced at £35, the L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect Cell Renew Midnight Serum has been slashed to £10 as part of Boots' £10 Tuesday deal. That's a saving of more than 66% – and skincare lovers are raving about it. Some have even swapped out their £65 Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair for this purse-friendly alternative.
So, what's all the fuss about? This clever little serum has been formulated to support the skin's natural cell renewal process, helping you wake up looking brighter, fresher, and a little bit more like you've had eight hours' sleep (even if you haven't). With a non-sticky finish and a silky texture, it not only hydrates deeply but also helps defend your skin against daily environmental aggressors.
L'Oréal promises skin that looks 'younger, brighter and more luminous' after just one week of use. And after four? Fine lines appear reduced, skin feels firmer and your whole complexion should look healthy and well-rested. It's not just the marketing talking, either. The serum has scored a glowing 4.7-star rating online, with heaps of glowing reviews from happy shoppers who have made the switch from far pricier serum options.
One fan wrote: "Bought this to try instead of my usual Estée Lauder ANR and I wasn't disappointed. My skin is soft, smooth and my fine lines are less noticeable. Would recommend and will definitely repurchase."
Another added: "This is the jewel in L'Oréal's crown. It's as good as Estée Lauder's Night Repair and way, way cheaper. In just a few days I noticed a vast improvement in my skin and its texture. It won't erase wrinkles, but it will make your skin look and feel so much better."
Others have been similarly impressed: "Absolutely love this serum – so good for the skin and amazing results. Took away frown lines on my forehead!" And perhaps the most enthusiastic review of all: "The best serum I've ever used. Makes me look younger and even smooths out my wrinkles. A must-buy."
Now, it's not all 5-star praise. A few shoppers have pointed out issues with the pipette-style applicator, saying it can be fiddly to get the product out. One reviewer said: "The serum is lovely and makes my skin feel great, but L'Oréal need to sort out the pipette. It's a nightmare to use!"
So yes – incredible formula, slightly annoying packaging. But for £10? We can probably live with that. At the time of writing, Boots is the cheapest place to snap it up, although Amazon has it on sale for £15.39 if you miss the Tuesday deal. Looking for other budget-friendly swaps? The Revolution Pro Miracle Night Rescue Serum Advanced Complex (£8.40 at LookFantastic) is another alternative frequently name-checked by savvy skincare shoppers.

Liz Earle's new products designed to deliver 'visibly brighter' skin
The British skincare brand, which has just celebrated its 30th birthday, is launching two new products today. Here's everything we know about them Beauty buffs among the first to try a brand new launch from British skincare brand Liz Earle have hailed them as 'beautiful' and 'premium', saying it left their skin 'feeling glowy and hydrated'. It comes as the brand has released not one, but two new products as part of their Glow range - hitting the virtual shelves at Boots today. The news comes just weeks after the popular brand celebrated its 30th birthday, but the new releases prove that Liz Earle isn't a brand to rest on its laurels, continuing to develop new innovations that will leave skincare fans swooning. The latest of those launches are the Restore & Glow Instant Radiance Serum and Revitalise & Glow Radiance Reveal Night Cream, both perfect for delivering a visibly brighter complexion. Liz Earle has built a legacy of science-backed botanical products and these new launches are no exception. The hero ingredient in both products is Acerola Cherry, an exotic berry from South America that contains significantly more Vitamin C than an orange and helps to brighten skin. It comes as vitamin C is still the most searched ingredient on Google in the UK. The Revitalise & Glow Radiance Reveal Night Cream comes in at £28 and has already sparked excitement among beauty fans. Designed to work with your skin's natural overnight repair cycle, the whipped formula contains Prickly Pear Extract - a naturally derived exfoliant - which helps resurface the skin to reveal glowing, even toned and renewed skin come the morning. The formula also contains Lavender Flower Extract, designed to leave skin looking more rested, with the cream proven to give brighter looking skin in four weeks. During sleep, our skin undergoes vital repair and regeneration, which means finding a night-time product that works with your skin during these peak hours is vital to our skin's overall condition. Another product using a similar technique is the No7 Future Renew Night Cream, which costs £37.95. The night cream is powered by Pepticology, No7's new patent-pending peptide technology, which is exclusive to No7's Future Renew range and supports the skin's natural self-repair process. Despite being brand new to the market, early testers of the Liz Earle cream have already left glowing reviews on the product. One said: 'I love this. I have been using the Skin Repair Hydrating Night Cream previous to receiving this, and I am completely converted. This cream is thick, but still sinks into the skin perfectly, and it feels so premium. My skin has never looked better.' Another penned: 'Have been using this night cream along with the other Glow products and I'm completely blown away by the results. It sinks beautifully and leaves my face feeling glowing and hydrated. A breath of fresh air for your skin. Perfect for an upcoming wedding, holiday or other special event. I certainly am not disappointed and it will become a staple and fit in with my other Liz Earle Products.' Some have been less keen, citing the fragrance as a point of dissatisfaction, commenting: 'I have been using this product for a short time. I like the results that I experience, which are a glowing and firmer skin by morning. The scent, I unfortunately find, is a little bit strong and does not have a therapeutic effect for me, when comparing it with the other Liz Earle night creams. However, I certainly felt it actively working on my skin, which is described as being one of its features.' A fourth wrote: 'I always worry when using a new night cream as, although I'm 60, night creams have a tendency to 'sit' on my skin and feel greasy. Well, let me tell you that this beautiful lightweight night cream is nothing like that at all. It glides onto the skin like a dreamy cloud. No greasy after feel at all. Then, wake up to clearer, fresh feeling skin. I really do love this cream and I can say that the whole Revitalise and Glow routine is absolutely brilliant! Bravo Liz Earle.' Meanwhile, the Restore & Glow Instant Radiance Serum, £32, is a lightweight multi-action serum that is scientifically proven to instantly boost skin luminosity in seven days, according to the brand. As well as Acerola Cherry and Prickly Pear, it also contains niacinamide, and is said to help target uneven pigmentation and dark spots. In consumer studies, an impressive 85% of testers agreed their skin's radiance was boosted in just one week. Elsewhere, the Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex, uses Chronolux Power Signal Technology, which is designed to boost the skin's natural repair and renewal processes. Though some skincare fans might still be on the hunt for an anti-ageing product with a bit more punch. In that case, Medik8's Crystal Retinal is an incredibly popular, scientifically supported option. The new Liz Earle serum and night cream join the wider Glow lineup, which debuted in 2022 with the Cleanse & Glow Transforming Gel Cleanser. It's since been expanded to include the likes of the Smooth & Glow Exfoliating Tonic and Revitalise & Glow Illuminating Gel Moisturiser. Currently, in celebration of the new launches, Boots is offering a discount on Liz Earle products. Customers who spend £35 on the brand can save £10 with the code LIZEARLE10. For those spending under the threshold, they can still get 20% off with the code SAVE20, but sadly these offers can't be stacked. In other Liz Earle deals, shoppers can get the 5-Piece Glow Set for £75 instead of £123 on the brand's own site. It contains five products from the range, but unfortunately, not the new launches. Customers can find those here at Boots.
