Reducing the appearance of wrinkles is a high priority for many skincare buffs. With an assortment of anti-aging products on the market, it can be hard to know what actually works.
For anyone not wanting to test out a myriad of products, then one that is said to be "clinically proven to reverse five years worth of wrinkles" is the bestselling L'Oréal Paris Age Defying Serum Le Duo (30ml).
This two-in-one serum, which usually retails at a whopping £37.99, has been dropped on Amazon to just £17.39, saving 54 percent off the RRP. Considering rival Boots still stocks it at full price, it's a deal not to be missed.
Unlike similar products on the market, this one harnesses the power of two serums, offering double the ingredients to expertly target wrinkles, firmness, and radiance.
On one side there is a collagen peptide booster that works to help "rebuild firmness", while the other uses vitamins B3 and C to "reignite radiance and even skin tone with two powerhouse vitamins."

Beauty deal of the week
Perfume fans will be keen to hear about a deal we have just spotted at Boots.
Those looking for something "timeless" and "distinctive" might already have Givenchy's Amarige Eau de Toilette on their radar. A favourite since the early 90s, it's got a bit of a cult reputation.
Even better, Boots has just dropped the cost of a large 100ml from £109 to just £54.50, allowing shoppers to save an impressive 50 percent off a beloved perfume.
Its scent makes up a "beautiful bouquet of white flowers", with top notes of tangerine, violet and rosewood being mixed with heart notes of gardenia, mimosa, red fruits and ylang-ylang.
The scent then finishes on "vibrant yet muted" base notes of ambergris, precious woods, musks and vanilla. The bottle, which was designed by perfume legend Pierre Dinand, takes inspiration from the ruffles sleeves of a Bettina Blouse designed by Givenchy.
One shopper who is a devoted fan wrote: "One five-star review read: "I bought this on offer at Boots, it was around £30 cheaper than anywhere else! It has an amazing timeless distinctive scent must be tried!"
A second loyal fan said: "The best perfume of all times! So classy! I'm glad it is back for it has been my signature perfume for more than a decade. Intense. Long lasting. Amazing. Complements galore!"

Someone else wrote: "The serum feels incredibly refreshing and leaves my skin feeling plump and hydrated. It has a subtle lifting effect that helps to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
"It has a brightening effect that helps to even out my skin tone and reduce the appearance of dark spots. It also feels very soothing on the skin and doesn't irritate my sensitive skin at all."

Amazon users praise 'holy grail' £14 rosemary oil that makes hair 'grow like crazy'

Beauty fans can't stop raving over the results that has left their locks "noticeable stronger and healthier." By now we've all heard about the benefits of using rosemary oil in our hair routine. From new growth to scalp protection, it's said to offer many benefits. With so many different bottles available to buy these days, it can be difficult to find one worth spending money on. Fortunately, Amazon shoppers have found one they say makes hair "grow like crazy." It's the Artnaturals Organic Rosemary Castor Hair Oil and Scalp Massager Kit. Boasting an incredible 4.5 rating overall, it will only set beauty enthusiasts back just £14.67. The particular kit is said to provide a "holistic approach" to hair and scalp care, with the "lightweight" blend of four different oils to create an elixir that doesn't just promote hair growth, but healthier-looking strands overall. It's main ingredient is, of course, rosemary oil for hair growth and scalp care, while castor oil helps to strengthen and moisturize. Meanwhile, olive oil offers nourishment and softness, while coconut oil offers hydration and conditioning. With all four combined in just one 118ml bottle, reviews have suggested that it is a "game changer" for dry, damaged hair, with some saying their tresses have "never looked so alive." The kit also comes complete with a scalp massager to boost blood circulation to the scalp, further supporting new growth, alongside gently cleansing and exfoliating the scalp, while also boosting a sense of wellbeing. Meanwhile, over at Lookfantastic, shoppers can get this Grow Gorgeous Healthy Scalp Duo, that offers a two-month treatment, for £39, down from £57, offering a 30 per cent discount. And Superdrug is offering a great value bundle with this Nature Spell Growth Complex Hair Growth Set that costs £29.99, and it comes complete with a shampoo, conditioner, mask, leave-in conditioner and hair oil. However, beauty buffs who have purchased the Artnaturals kit have branded it as a "holy grail" product, as it has "saved" dry, damaged hair in need of some TLC. One shopper who branded the oil a "miracle" praised: "I've been using this hair oil for a few weeks now, and I'm already seeing amazing results! "My hair feels noticeably stronger and healthier, and I'm starting to see new growth around my hairline. The oil is lightweight and doesn't leave any greasy residue, so it's easy to apply daily. "I also love that it doesn't have a strong scent, making it perfect for layering with other products. Highly recommend this if you're looking to strengthen your hair and promote growth!" A second five-star review read: "I love it sooo much. It is my holy grail, it saved my damaged hair and made it start growing like crazy.

The YSL BLack Opium Le Parfum offers a more vanilla-heavy fragrance that has been hailed as "intoxicating" in reviews, with a 50ml now half-price at Boots after being dropped from £115 to £57.50. Massive saving aside, it's the cheapest it can be bought for at the moment, as rival retailers Superdrug, Lookfantastic and The Perfume Shop still stock it at full-price. This interpretation of the iconic perfume was only launched in 2022, with its original floral gourmand fragrance still offering its famed notes that include pear accord, green mandarin, orange flower petals, jasmine sambac and cinnamon. However, the iconic coffee accord has been twisted with four different, yet still complimentary, notes of vanilla, which is said to be its most important ingredient, to create an "unexpected smoothness, with uncompromising intensity." Meanwhile, the unique glossy bottle that has been crafted from a precious black stone, with its dazzling glitter emblem at the heart, eludes to the luxuriousness of the fragrance contained within. As for the YSL Black Opium Le Parfum, Boots shoppers wanting to take advantage of the half-price discount will be glad to hear it has amassed a 4.7 rating from thousands of customers who say it "lasts all day" and "literally turns heads" when it is worn. One five-star review read: "I love the fragrance. I used a lot the first time, not realising how intense it was. It lasts all day and continues to smell great. I literally turn heads when I wear it." Don't miss Boots' half-price discount on the YSL Black Opium Le Parfum (50ml) that is now £57.50, down from £115. Comparatively, another five-star review read: "This product is absolutely amazing! I was losing a lot of hair due to stress and I started using this 3x a week (minimum) I would normally leave on overnight and pop a silk bonnet on. Within 2 weeks I could see regrowth! And also leaves your hair feeling amazing once washed out to, not greasy. Highly recommend!" And someone else praising the results said: "Already seeing new growth around my hairline, and had also been helping improve the appearance of my dry, split ends. A little goes a long way with this product, so this bottle should last me ages!" Purchase the Artnaturals Organic Rosemary Castor Hair Oil and Scalp Massager Kit for £14.67 on Amazon.

I got rid of my deep forehead wrinkles with a 20p beauty buy – people accuse me of having Botox, my skin is so smooth

IF YOU'VE developed a deep set wrinkles and lines on your forehead, you might be looking for ways to smooth them out. Naturally, many beauty buffs may resort to Botox. 2 2 But there is no need to fork out on expensive fillers to achieve a youthful glow. One beauty lover fanatic has shared her secret go-to product for getting rid of stubborn forehead lines. And the dramatic before and after photos have blown TikTokers away. Laura Elle posted on her TikTok account, @lauraelle111, where she was raving about a wrinkle-busting product from the online marketplace Amazon. In the video, the dark-haired stunner thanked Frownies Anti-Wrinkle patches for knocking years off her appearance - and at £30 for 144 patches, they're a total bargain. The young beauty shared a snap of herself aged 25 before she started using the product and wrote: "I had a Botox consultation and it scared me. So I found a natural alternative that worked for me.'' Although Laura looked great in the first photo, it was clear she was suffering from some stubborn forehead wrinkles. The stunner, now 28, then shared another image where she showed off her jaw-dropping skin transformation. As if by magic, the once-stubborn wrinkles had vanished into thin air her radiant complexion was line-free. Raving about the bargain buy, she went on in the video: ''If you are looking for a natural Botox alternative, give frownies a try.'' My nan is 77 but doesn't look it - she swears by her boiling water hack & a £10 No7 buy for beautiful smooth skin How do Frownies work? According to Amazon, Frownies "train the underlying facial muscles to regain the strength and tone they have lost." You simply apply one of the patches to your skin and leave it for a minimum of three hours - making sure the patch is covering the entire wrinkle. To remove, you just wash off with warm water. How is celery juice an anti-ageing potion? Celery juice is packed with antioxidants like vitamin C and flavonoids, which combat free radicals that cause cellular damage and aging. Its high water content keeps your skin hydrated and plump, reducing the appearance of wrinkles. The anti-inflammatory compounds in celery, such as apigenin and luteolin, help reduce chronic inflammation linked to ageing. Rich in essential nutrients like vitamin K and potassium, celery juice supports overall skin health and body functions. Drinking celery juice regularly can complement a balanced diet and skincare routine, promoting a youthful glow from within. The product - which works out at just 20p per patch - is plant-based, non-irritating, non-comedogenic and safe for sensitive skin. And it's stood the test of time, having been available since 1889. In the clip, Laura also spilled the beans on her new skincare routine, writing: ''So it hasn't been one specific routine or one specific set of products for my overall skincare, except the forehead was frownies . ''What I did was I stopped tanning my face, started wearing sunscreen twice per day and double cleansing, milky toners, collagen masks and creams, retinol, vitamin C, varying moisturisers. ''I use different serums and I try a lot of brands! ''I discovered my skin needed and still needs a lot of moisture so I also use face sprays throughout the day and pack in moisturising products as much as possible.
