Developed by Dr Dev Patel, multi-award-winning aesthetics doctor, and stocked in over 180 UK clinics, Pigment Correct harnesses advanced brightening actives in a vegan, cruelty-free, ethically responsible formula that’s suitable for all skin types. Its unique blend works to gently but powerfully reduce melanin overproduction, revealing clearer, more radiant skin.

Over time, sun exposure, hormonal changes and environmental factors all contribute to dullness and uneven tone, but this Pigment Correct serum promises to restore clarity and radiance when it becomes a staple in your beauty routine. Unlike many brightening products that focus only on prevention, this advanced formula actively targets existing pigmentation while helping to prevent future discolouration.

Boasting a potent blend of Kojic Acid, Rumex Occidentalis Extract, and Nonapeptide-1, this formula delivers exceptional melanin regulation, while hyaluronic acid adds deep hydration to keep skin supple and comfortable. Within just four weeks, most users report a noticeable transformation, with their skin appearing fresher, clearer, and more luminous.

How to Use: Apply 4–5 drops in a thin layer to pigmented areas, morning and evening, and allow to dry before layering further products. A little goes a long way, making Pigment Correct an essential daily step in achieving radiant, healthy-looking skin.

The serum’s key benefits include:

  • Advanced hydration,
  • Significant reduction in dark spots, age spots and general discolouration,
  • Brighter, more radiant skin,
  • Reduces PIH risk post-procedure or trauma,
  • Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties,
  • Enhances the penetration of other active ingredients

Although this serum doesn’t have any reviews on Debenhams’ website, numerous users have taken to CellDerma’s TrustPilot to sing its praises. One reviewer enthuses: “Efficient delivery. My skin feels and looks amazing. I particularly like that I can use the product around my eyes.”

Another comments: “My skin has never been so wonderful.”

Further praise comes from this buyer who beams: “Love this product and have been using it for around 18 months.”

Though one shopper was less than impressed, writing: “Unfortunately for the price, it didn’t make a difference to my skin after consistent use for 4 months.”

The biggest downside some might find with this serum is the relatively steep price of £173.25. If this is outside of your budget, there are other pigmentation-reducing products that could do the trick.

Victoria Beckham opens up about emotional conversation with Harper on eating disorders

Ahead of her Netflix documentary launch, Victoria Beckham decided to speak to her daughter about some of the personal topics that would be addressed on the show

Victoria Beckham has revealed the deeply personal conversation she had with her 14-year-old daughter, Harper, ahead of the release of her new Netflix documentary.

The former Spice Girl, 51, explained that she felt it was crucial to open up to her daughter before the world learned about the eating disorder she secretly battled for decades. During her recent docu-series, Posh Spice bravely opened up about her past experience with eating disorders, admitting that her image became something she was able to have control over.

She also disclosed that she managed to hide her struggles from her family. Victoria said: “We just had a really honest conversation, and I explained that when you have issues with food, it is all consuming. It is sad. It’s a very lonely place. I thought it was important that she heard it from me before she saw it at the theatre.”

Victoria’s new documentary series offers an unprecedented look into her personal life, touching on her years in the spotlight, the pressures of fame, and the toll that public scrutiny took on her body image.

It was before the premiere that she sat down with Harper to make sure her daughter understood Victoria’s struggles from her perspective.

“I’ve talked about food with Harper before,” Victoria explained to the Daily Mail. “The one thing that doesn’t seem to change is that little girls think a lot about food as they’re growing up, when their bodies are changing and they’re going through puberty.

“My wish for Harper is that she has a really healthy relationship with food, and that she eats healthily. We all want to treat ourselves as well, but it’s about balance.”

In the documentary, Victoria opens up about what it was like to face speculation over her weight for years. She recalls one particularly cruel moment from her Spice Girl days, where she was weighed live on air by Chris Evans on TFI Friday, just two months after giving birth to her son, Brooklyn.

The fashion designer admitted that her children were shocked to see the level of sexism and public humiliation she faced at the time. “All of the kids were really, really shocked with what they saw in that documentary,” she said.

“It wouldn’t happen now. And the truth is, it really hurt. Words can really hurt people – I always say this to the children. Words are so powerful, and you really have to choose your words carefully.”

Victoria’s husband, David Beckham, previously admitted to feeling “disgusted” at the way she was treated by the media in her younger years.

Although she initially was nervous about being followed by cameras for a year, Victoria said that in the end she felt liberated by the process of making her documentary.

“I wasn’t sure about having a camera crew following me, but David convinced me that it was the right thing to do,” she shared. “I am a control freak, but now I’m a reformed control freak, and that was quite liberating.”

Strictly’s Tom Skinner’s ‘devastated’ wife reveals she kicked him out after affair

Prior to his first appearance on this year’s Strictly Come Dancing, Tom Skinner revealed he had a two-week “fling” behind his wife Sinead’s back, just weeks after their wedding.

Thomas Skinner’s wife has revealed that after his affair, she kicked him out of their family home. He made headlines for all of the wrong reasons prior to his short stint on Strictly Come Dancing after admitting to having a “fling” behind his wife Sinead’s back, and now Tom’s other half has revealed exactly what happened when he came clean about the affair to her.

One week before his first appearance on the BBC One show, The Apprentice star, 34, confessed to a “two-week fling” with a beauty clinic boss and said, “it was the biggest mistake of my life.”

Speaking about her husband’s infidelity for the first time, Sinead admitted she kicked him out of the family home after being left devastated by the news. She explained: “When he first told me what had happened, I made him leave. I was devastated.

“I will never forget Thomas telling me. I remember thinking, ‘I never thought this would happen to me’. It was one of the worst days of my life. I only told one friend, nobody else.”

Sinead added to The Sun: “But we eventually worked it out. I just knew how much I love him and I wanted to work it out. He made a mistake. It was a tough time. One of his friends had just died.”

She explained that the cheating was in the past for them and they are now “stronger than ever”. Despite his scandal, Sinead admits that the couple are stronger than ever and have gone on to welcome their twin daughters together. But it was his stint on Strictly which brought the cheating to light. “It has been hell,” she revealed.

The mum-of-three went on to explain that it’s been “horrendous” having to re-live that chapter all over again, especially since the pair had put it behind them in an effort to start again.

Back in September, the BBC star said that he had a two-week fling with Amy-Lucy Rourke, 35, and “it is the biggest mistake of my life.” He continued: “I met her in a pub. She was a single mum. We chatted on the phone, and she offered me some kind of cosmetic slimming treatments.”

He told The Sun: “It was nothing more than that. It was the one time; it was a mistake. I woke up feeling absolutely terrible about it. I felt so guilty. I told my wife. I let her down in that brief moment of madness where I wasn’t thinking, where I didn’t appreciate what I had. I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry.”

However, just days after he went public with the affair, Amy came forward and claimed he had told her she was the “love of his life” and the fling had actually been three months long.

She claimed to the Daily Mail: “We were originally friends, but with his sweet-talking and his lies, he made me believe we were in love. He would stand in the mirror with me and say, ‘Look, we’ll be Mr and Mrs Skinner’. That is actually traumatising to me.

“You don’t say that to someone when you’re already happily married. I fell in love with him, but Thomas is nothing but a liar and a cheat.” Thomas and Sinead first met at a bar in London in 2018 and got engaged two years later. The fling occurred shortly after their wedding in May 2022, when they were already parents to their son, now four years old.

The pair also now have identical twin daughters who are two years old. Tom and his Strictly partner Amy Dowden were the first to be eliminated from this year’s show after landing in the bottom two with Chris Robshaw and Nadiya Bychkova. All four judges unanimously decided to save Chris over Tom.

During his exit interview with Tess Daly, he gushed: “Thank you, Amy – sorry that we haven’t done too good, ’cause you’re a different class.

“I’ve never danced before and my stay was short, but Amy’s amazing. It’s been great fun and I’ve enjoyed it. I can’t really dance that well but I’ve had fun!”

At Princess Eugenie’s wedding, which took place seven years ago today, the Prince of Wales had a telling four-word response after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced they were pregnant with their first child

Seven years ago today, Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank tied the knot in a stunning ceremony at Windsor Castle in front of the entire royal family. On the same day, a secret held by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle was shared, making the day memorable in more ways than one.

Standing in the wedding reception at St George’s Hall, the Duke of Sussex dropped a bombshell on his brother Prince William : that he and his wife, after being married for just five months, were expecting their first child. Harry recalled the moment he told his brother of their happy news in his autobiography Spare, revealing William’s telling reaction.

He wrote: “We were in a big room, suits of armour on the walls. Strange room, strange moment.” Harry recalled William’s response to his news and said he smiled and uttered just four words: “We must tell Kate.”

Harry also detailed the Princess of Wales ‘ reaction and said she was overjoyed to hear the news, as he wrote: “She also gave a big smile and hearty congratulations. They both reacted exactly as I hoped – as I’d wished.”

Meghan and Harry also told King Charles about their pregnancy at the wedding, as the Duke of Sussex said the monarch was “delighted” when he found out he would be welcoming another grandchild.

Harry wrote: “Just before a drink reception for the bride and groom, we cornered Pa in his study. He was delighted to learn that he was going to be a grandfather for a fourth time; his wide smile warmed me.”

Meghan Markle gave birth just six months later to Prince Archie on May 6, 2019 at the Portland Hospital, London. Harry also wrote about the birth of his first child in his memoir and admitted he was very nervous ahead of the birth.

The Sussexes have since gone on to welcome a second child, Princess Lilibet, who was born at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in California on June 4, 2021, one year after they quit their royal duties and relocated to America.

Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank tied the knot on October 12 2018, exchanging their vows in St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle in front of the entire royal family, including the late Queen Elizabeth.

EastEnders’ Natalie Cassidy drops hint over potential soap comeback

Natalie Cassidy has been a staple of EastEnders for over 30 years, but she said goodbye to the BBC One soap earlier this year as she left behind her character Sonia Fowler

Natalie Cassidy has become one of the most well-loved characters on BBC soap EastEnders over the years, but she said her farewells to the cast earlier this year.

Playing a crucial part in EastEnders for decades, she first appeared on the programme in 1993 as Carol Jackson’s (Lindsey Coulson) third daughter.

Securing one of her first significant plotlines in 2000, when her character learnt she was expecting a baby, Natalie has remained central to the drama ever since — from romances and family rows to continuous clashes with other characters.

Following more than 30 years portraying Sonia, she said goodbye to the soap in touching scenes broadcast in April this year.

Having been away from EastEnders for just a handful of months, she has already discussed the prospect of making a return, revealing to My Weekly magazine that she chose to depart to spend more time with her family and “try different things,” including launching her well-loved Life with Nat podcast.

Discussing a potential return, she offered a three-word answer, stating: “I’d never say never. And because Sonia’s gone off with her trumpet on a boat, not in a coffin, I’d never say never to returning — it’s my home.”

Natalie made her last appearance as Sonia in April, departing Walford for Bali alongside her daughter Rebecca Fowler (portrayed by Jasmine Armfield) and Bianca Jackson (Patsy Palmer).

Despite many speculating that her recent departure from the soap will be her final one, it’s not the first time she’s left the Square, having initially exited in 2007 before reprising her role two years later.

Since her latest exit, two of her other ventures have abruptly concluded.

In a recent interview, she revealed that she doesn’t anticipate her Channel 4 programme What’s The Big Deal? being commissioned for a second series, while her Off The Telly podcast, co-hosted with Joanna Page, also appears to have wrapped up.

However, while her Off The Telly podcast appears to have come to an end, she continues to welcome her friends and family onto her Life with Nat podcast.

She’s due to make a comeback on our screens this morning on Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch, where she’ll join fellow guests Mark Ronson, Adrian Dunbar, and Professor Brian Cox, along with presentersTim Lovejoy and Simon Rimmer.
