There’s nothing more frustrating than having to spend a significant portion of your salary on skincare. But what if we told you there’s a way to save £35 on one of the UK’s most cherished serums?

With thousands of glowing reviews online, it has been praised as ‘the best anti-wrinkle treatment’ available, with some even claiming ‘it’s better than botox’.

On the serum’s website, a glowing five-star review states: “This is one of the most amazing products I’ve ever used! A total game changer for your skin.”

Another satisfied customer agreed, mentioning that others have inquired if they’ve had botox. “I'm so glad I discovered this product,” they wrote. “I've been using it for almost a year with remarkable results. It's so effective, I've had people ask me if I've had botox. I haven't.”

A third person wrote: “This product is AMAZING. I’ve tried numerous brands, and nothing compares to it. It has completely cleared my skin and helped me prevent wrinkles. An incredible product worth every penny. Plus, it lasts forever! It’ll be a staple in my routine for life.”

What does retinal do?

Not to be confused with retinol, retinal is one of the most potent ingredients in the anti-ageing arena. Also a form of vitamin A, it reportedly works '11 times faster' than retinol and offers a gentler approach. An everyday hero on your bathroom shelf, it’s designed to minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots. Retinal can also enhance skin texture, unclog pores, and stimulate collagen production. Just what we like to hear.

However, retinal increases skin's sensitivity to UV rays, so wearing sunscreen is essential, regardless of the season.

How to use retinal as a beginner

If you’re new to retinal or retinol, it’s crucial to start slowly with a low dose to avoid redness and irritation. It’s widely recommended that you apply it once an evening each week before gradually increasing to twice a week - until you achieve daily use.
