The serum is designed to be applied directly to lines and wrinkles for “fast, visible results” where you want them most. The product’s ingredients aim to support your skin’s “natural springs” to provide elasticity and bounce, which depletes as we age.
The serum has garnered a 3.7 star rating online, having racked up rave reviews. Among them, one person said: “I noticed results within 2 weeks. I had a deep visible line on my forehead. It is barely noticeable now! I use morning and night”.
A second shopper wrote: “Fabulous serum. I love this amazing product. I use on my forehead and neck and it really works to smooth out lines and wrinkles. I am 58 and my skin is in excellent condition”.
A third impressed buyer added: “Visible results to reduce lines. I find this product very effective to reduce lines on my neck and face. It showed quicker results on the deep lines on my neck first.
” Took a bit longer on the finer lines around my eyes but definitely visible result. I use this instead of eye cream now and would recommend it. I buy it on Tue promotions so it’s great price. “
Another said:” Wonder serum. Love this serum, can really see the difference. Would absolutely recommend to anyone who was considering trying it. Noticed a difference within 7 days. “A fifth added:” Miracle product. Lines melt away, cannot believe how effective its been and how quickly. “
However, not all shoppers were quite so impressed with the serum. One person said:” Used this religiously but it’s not made the slightest difference. “
A second shopper wrote:” Been using for a while, cant see any difference. Very disappointed as had high hopes. “Another added:” It doesn’t work. Used it twice a day every day until it was all gone. No change whatsoever. “
Alternatively, a number of retailers have similar options available. Medik8 stocks the Liquid Peptides Advanced MP for £79, while FaceTheory has the Retinol Ester 2% Renewing Serum for £22. Paula’s Choice has the Resist Anti-Aging Antioxidant Serum on sale for £34.85, down from £41.
Danny Jones ‘ wife, Georgia, has been flooded with support after breaking her silence following the scandal surrounding her husband and Maura Higgins.
The I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! co-stars shocked fans when they appeared to share a drunken kiss at the BRIT Awards after party on March 1.
Neither Danny or Maura – who is currently in L. A on an “exciting shoot” – have commented on the kiss. However, Georgia, who shares son, Cooper, with Danny has taken to social media to share a sweet black and white picture of the couple’s seven year old.
The former Miss England simply captioned the photo with a blue heart and was soon inundated with messages of support. One fan wrote: “Love you. What a lucky boy he is to have a mummy like you xxxxxx”. Another added: “Hope you’re okay Georgia, you’ve got this xxx”. A third said: “Everyone is in your corner you’ve got this much love” while a fourth pledged: “We’re all rallied around you”.
In the wake of the reports of Danny’s drunken kiss with Maura, the McFly star has remained quiet, while the former ring girl from Ireland has fled the country.
Danny has been warned about staying silent for too long in the wake of the scandal, with a PR expert telling the Mirror he should also avoid a ‘ prosaic apology on Instagram’. Edward Coram-James, CEO of Go Up, told us: “Danny needs to speak sooner rather than later. Silence will only fuel the fire and make him look evasive – worse – calculated”.
He added: “Under no circumstances should he use the dreaded notes app/Instagram apology – so overdone and formulaic at this point that it’s a tired cliché and also so easy to hide behind, especially with comments turned off.
” The authenticity needs to come across in a more meaningful way, perhaps through a well-thought-out, personal statement – possibly an interview or video where he speaks directly to the camera. “
Maura, meanwhile, is said to be” in a bad way… and really struggling “according to pals who have rallied behind her in the wake of her drunken kiss with Danny.
The reality star has flown to Los Angeles for a photoshoot amid the furore of her boozy clinch with the married singer. Friends of Maura say that the last week has been” horrendous “as she has been deluged with” horrific “trolling on her social media.
Speaking to the Mirror, her pal said:” Maura is a tough character but the reaction to events of the last week has been utterly relentless, and it’s fair to say it’s taken its toll. She has found all of this very difficult to navigate. She appreciates she’s in the public eye and there is extra interest around her, but the abuse is off the charts, and people need to calm down. “

Blake Lively walked the red carpet at the premiere of her new movie Another Simple Favor on Friday night, but her husband Ryan Reynolds was unusually not by her side.
Blake and Ryan are currently involved in a legal and media war of words with actor/director Justin Baldoni, and the premiere at the SXSW film festival in Austin, Texas, marks one of the 37 year old actress’s few public appearances since she filed a lawsuit against Baldoni in December, accusing him of sexual harassment on the set of their movie It Ends With Us. Blake, in a pink and black dress and matching PVC coat, posed with co-star Anna Kendrick and Another Simple Favor director Paul Feig, and smiled for fans, but her husband Ryan was noticeably absent.
An insider has told the Daily Mail that there was a good reason that 48 year old Ryan was not by his wife’s side. According to the insider, the couple took note of the reception they received when Ryan appeared on the Saturday Night Live 50th anniversary special and made a joke about their legal woes, and realised it was better if they kept their professional lives separate for now.
On the SNL anniversary show, presenter Tina Fey asked Ryan, who was in the celebrity-packed audience, how he was doing, and he replied: “Why, what have you heard”? which was interpreted as a dig at Justin Baldoni counter-suing Blake for defamation in January.
The source said: “SNL was a test to see how fans would react to them. It was their first outing together since Blake filed and it did not bode well for them. Ryan and Blake both]now] realize that, if their careers are to survive, they cannot be involved in the same projects because everything will be heavily scrutinized”.
The source continued to say that Ryan and Blake are keen to protect their separate incomes and it makes sense for Ryan to protect his own career and interests as the much-loved Deadpool actor has so far been unaffected by the press and fan reaction to Blake and Baldoni’s lawsuits.
It is, of course, quite common for a Hollywood star to attend a premiere without their off screen partner. A spokesperson for Ryan Reynolds said: “The premiere was a resounding success, both fans and critics in attendance loved the movie. Blake attended with her cast and filmmakers and had a great time. Several other actors attended premieres at SXSW without their spouses or significant others”.
There have been rumours that Blake’s co-star, Anna Kendrick, was not pleased that Blake’s negative press was casting a shadow over their new movie, a sequel to the 2018 hit A Simple Favor. Two videos have gone viral from the premiere on Friday 7 March, both of which show Anna’s quick wit in response to being grilled about Blake and her recent legal drama. During the red carpet event ahead of the screening, a reporter asked Anna: “How do you feel that the movie is being impacted by everything going on… in the world”?
Kendrick smiled and said: “Why? What happened? I did Ayahuasca and the last year of my life has just gone, but I’ve heard the movie is amazing”!
She was later asked by a fan what it was like working with Blake again. The Pitch Perfect star responded with a blunt comment: “Oh you know”. The telling remark was a huge contrast to Blake’s comments about working with Anna. When Blake was asked the same question in reverse, she said: “Oh it’s the best, I’m so happy”.
Another Simple Favor is Blake Lively’s first release since It Ends With Us, which was released the summer of 2024, which saw the actress get into a lawsuit with the movie’s director, Justin Baldoni. Lively, 37, accused Baldoni, 41, of sexual harassment. He countersued Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds, 48, for £321 million, accusing them of trying to destroy his reputation and career. They both deny the allegations.

Maya Jama took aim at Gary Lineker after the Match of the Day presenter outed her secretive new relationship.
The Love Island presenter, 30, has been strongly linked with Manchester City star Ruben Dias this year but neither have publicly confirmed their pairing. However, it seems as though the former footballer took that decision away from her with his latest comments.
Maya, who hinted she is currently taking Portuguese lessons which added fuel to the romance speculation, joined Micah Richards on the Ballers League social media where they will be managers. Thirty seconds into the clip on TikTok, Gary appeared.
In the footage, Micah joked to Maya: “You disrespected me, didn’t you? You said I look 40 years old. I’m only 36. You do me wrong man… How old are you”? Maya responded: “I’m 30 actually, on the dot. Just 3, 0, new, fresh 30. I just got there”.
It’s then that former England man Gary popped up to joke: “Micah, stop flirting and get her boyfriend to play for us”. He comment was followed by a burst of laughter, but Maya appeared upset at his jibe. “‘ Get out! This is why I don’t talk to old people. They’re so weird”, she said.
However, one user seemed to think Maya had gone too far with her comments. “Was laughing until she insulted Gary”, they wrote. Another wrote: “Gary”, along with three crying with laughter emoji faces.
Maya had taken to Instagram yesterday to share updates on her Baller League involvement. As well as a number of Stories uploads, The Masked Singer panellist shared a promo video alongside Alisha Lehmann. Maya commented on the upload: “Readyyyy”. alongside emojis of nails being polished, a red love heart and a face with sunglasses on. Maya and professional footballer Alisha are set to become the first all-female management pairing in the start-up league.
It was reported that Maya and Ruben, 27, first met at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Manchester in November. The pair are thought to have spent New Year’s Eve together and Ruben’s post celebrating the New Year fuelled speculation of a romance. He shared a photo of two people cosied up together whilst watching a sunset.
In January, a source said of their apparent coupling: “Spending New Year’s Eve together was a real step forward in their relationship”. Speaking to the Sun, the insider went on to claim that Maya and Ruben “get on really well” and “make a gorgeous couple”, but said that “it’s early days”.
In February, the pair were also spotted wearing matching £5, 050 ‘ LOVE Bracelet ‘ by Cartier.
