Harness the power of two powerhouse ingredients, with this two-in-one serum that's 54 percent less on Amazon.
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."

Product Description
Suitable for all skin types, the serum duo is said to be fast-absorbing, with 18 percent of users saying that they saw instant firmness, while a further 83 percent of women saw a reduction in wrinkles and 87 percent saw an increase in radiance.
It's not the only two-in-one serum on the market, as the Clarins Double Serum also uses a dual formula to target the signs of ageing linked to lifestyle, with a 30ml on offer at Debenhams for £52, down from £65.
Meanwhile, Boots stocks the Eucerin Anti-Pigment Dual Face Serum for £45, which is another dual serum that boasts two powerhouse ingredients, thiamidol and hyaluronic acid, to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and leave skin looking more even and radiant.
As for the L'Oréal Paris serum, it seems results speak for themselves, as it has earned a 4.3 rating on Amazon based on hundreds of reviews from beauty fans who have said it is "game changer" and the "best serum ever."
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!"

One five-star review read: "This serum is a game-changer! It leaves my skin feeling hydrated, smoother, and visibly radiant. A luxurious treat that's worth every drop."
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."

One user did criticise the value for money, writing: "Lovely cream but very disappointed how quickly it run out. As you cannot see how much your are using or how much is left. It was a big disappointment that it only lasted four weeks."
Meanwhile, one shopper compared it to the iconic Clarins serum by writing: "Feels and smells divine. Best serum ever! Honestly, as good as Clarins without being expensive."
While another fan added: "I have been using it for a week and there are improvements in my skin. It is a great product and it also smells very nice."
