Boots eye cream that makes lines 'less visible' drops to £10 in flash sale

Business Mayor29-04-2025

As we age, the skin on our face can develop fine lines, lose firmness and become more dry, and the sensitive skin around our eyes are ususally the first area to see the signs. French beauty brand RoC has developed a product to tackle these issues and customers heaped praises on the results.
For one day only Boots has reduced the price of RoC's Multi Correxion Hydrate + Plump Eye Cream from £24.99 to £10. Some shoppers might choose retinol over hydrating ingredients to erase fine lines and wrinkles. The RoC eye cream is a dermatologist-recommended solution formulated with caffeine and hyaluronic acid, perfect for a range of skin types.
Sealed in an aluminium tube, the eye cream is clinically proven to address signs of ageing around the eyes. With peptides to visibly firm and contour, testers said it 'instantly reduces the appearance of eye bags and puffiness'. The 1.5% hyaluronic acid works to visibly fill fine lines while caffeine helps to de-puff the eye area with time.
For those wanting a mess-free application, Refy's Eye Balm, £18, comes in a stick format that offers a cooling sensation when applied under eyes. Or, for a splurge option that tackles deep-set wrinkles, consider the BioEffect EGF Eye Serum for £72, which is designed to stimulate cellular turnover. It has a roll-on design and gel formula.
The RoC Multi Correxion Hydrate + Plump Eye Cream is loved by board-certified dermatologist Dr Scott Walter who said: 'Puffiness under the eyes is such a common complaint I hear from patients, and I routinely recommend the Multi Correxion Hydrate & Plump Eye Cream because it contains two things: caffeine which is key to soothe puffiness and then hyaluronic acid to plump and smooth fine lines.'
Shoppers also shared comments after trying the eye cream with one calling it the 'best eye cream ever used'. They added: 'I have been very sceptical of eyecreams as they rarely make a difference but this works. Lines are less visible and under eye area looks a lot firmer.'
Another noted that she did not see immediate results but saw an improvement week by week: 'I'm impressed at how this eye cream helps, especially with fine lines directly under my eyes. But took a few month to see a difference for me. Definitely plumps the eye area quite quickly though and seems to give a more awake appearance. It absorbs well and is very light. Will definitely keep buying.'
One was not satisfied with the packaging, saying: 'It flows directly as soon as I open the cap'. But others were happy that their tired eyes look more fresh and healthier.

Study Supports Follow-Up Consultations After Heart Failure

About 40% of patients with diagnosed heart failure did not pursue future cardiology consultations, regardless of the initial severity of their condition. A single follow-up cardiology visit can reduce 1-year all-cause mortality by 6%-9%, with additional visits showing increased benefit as the severity of heart failure increases. METHODOLOGY: A nationwide cohort study included 655,919 French patients (median age, 80 years; 48% women) diagnosed or hospitalized with heart failure between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2019, and who were still alive on January 1, 2020. Researchers categorized patients into four groups: Those hospitalized with heart failure within the past year, those hospitalized with the condition between 1 and 5 years prior, patients not hospitalized but who were receiving loop diuretics, and patients who were not hospitalized and were not taking loop diuretics. TAKEAWAY: The 1-year risk for all-cause mortality ranged from 8% in patients without hospitalization or use of loop diuretics to 25% for those hospitalized for heart failure within the past year. Mortality risk increased progressively across groups, with an adjusted hazard ratio of 1.61 for patients using loop diuretics, 1.83 for patients using loop diuretics and hospitalized over 1 year prior, and 2.32 for patients hospitalized less than 1 year prior ( P < .0001 for all). < .0001 for all). A single cardiology consultation was associated with a 6%-9% absolute reduction in 1-year all-cause mortality across all groups. The optimal follow-up strategy varied by risk group: One annual visit for low-risk patients, two to three visits for intermediate-risk patients, and four visits for high-risk patients recently hospitalized with heart failure. IN PRACTICE: 'Despite having an HF diagnosis, 40% of patients do not see a cardiologist annually, regardless of disease severity. Simple stratification based on hospitalization history and diuretic use effectively predicts outcomes. Tailoring the annual number of [heart failure] consultations according to this stratification could optimize resource use and reduce avoidable modelled deaths,' the researchers wrote. 'This group represents a significant opportunity to improve survival outcomes with only a modest increase in the total number of consultations. Healthcare systems could formally assess the impact of this annual consultation through large-scale cluster trials, allowing for an evaluation of the broader population-level benefits of this approach,' they added. SOURCE: The study was led by Guillaume Baudry, MD, of the Université de Lorraine in Nancy, France. It was published online in the European Heart Journal and presented at the Heart Failure Association of the European Society of Cardiology (HFA-ESC) 2025 meeting. LIMITATIONS: Researchers excluded patients residing in nursing homes due to their advanced prognosis and unavailability of healthcare utilization data, which may have led to an underestimation of morbidity and mortality. The study did not include heart failure patients who had not been recently hospitalized and did not submit long-term condition paperwork. Important clinical data such as ejection fraction, heart failure phenotype, and prognostic biomarker values were unavailable. DISCLOSURES: The researchers reported receiving fees and grants and other relationships with various pharmaceutical companies including Abbott, AstraZeneca, Bayer, and Pfizer.

Confirmed: Breakfast Cereals Are Getting Sweeter And Less Nutritious

Millions of us dig into them every morning, but breakfast cereals are getting progressively worse for our health, according to a new study – having grown sweeter and less nutritious over the past decade or so. It's a worry for everyone, but particularly for kids: the majority of young people in the US choose cereal as their preferred breakfast option, over more labor-intensive alternatives such as pancakes, waffles, and French toast. Researchers from several institutions across the US looked at the ingredients of ready-to-eat (RTE) cereals launched in the United States between 2010 and 2023, and marketed towards children aged between 5 and 12 years old. That gave them more cereals than you might expect – a total of 1,200 – though rebrands and repackaging were included. The nutrient content of servings of these cereals were then analyzed through database information, and tracked over time. "Analysis of newly launched children's RTE cereals from 2010 to 2023 revealed concerning nutritional shifts: notable increases in fat, sodium, and sugar alongside decreases in protein and fiber," write the researchers in their published paper. Total fat per serving, for example, rose from 1.13 grams to 1.51 grams over the study period, a jump of 33.6 percent. Average sugar content, meanwhile, went up from 10.28 grams in 2010 to 11.40 grams in 2023, a 10.9 percent increase. Sodium is up too, from 156 milligrams to 206.1 milligrams on average (up 32.1 percent). While this has been happening, the healthier nutrients in cereals are trending down: both protein and fiber levels have dropped significantly in recent years. It seems cereals are becoming more like salty, sugary snacks than anything else. On average, a single serving of the cereals included in the analysis would provide more than 45 percent of the daily recommended sugar limit for children. "These trends suggest a potential prioritization of taste over nutritional quality in product development, contributing to childhood obesity and long-term cardiovascular health risks," write the researchers. It's worth bearing in mind that this study only looks at newly launched (or relaunched) cereals, and doesn't take into account what else kids might be eating throughout the rest of the day. Nevertheless, it's a worrying trend. We know that diet and nutrition is an important part of making sure kids grow up healthy and strong, and that includes breakfast. Childhood obesity in the US is now affecting one in five kids, and is on the rise. As the researchers explained to the New York Times, there's a disconnect between the health claims being made on the front of cereal packets and what's actually included in the box. That makes it harder for parents to choose the right option. Right now, cereal makers in the US don't have to follow any special regulations beyond the basic health and safety requirements for their products, though slapping a 'healthy' label on the packet does come with some guidelines attached. "Given their widespread consumption and potential impact on childhood nutrition, understanding trends in cereal composition is crucial for public health," write the researchers. The research has been published in JAMA Network Open.

A Nationwide Recall Affecting Thousands of Pounds of Beef Tallow Was Just Issued—Here's What to Know

A Nationwide Recall Affecting Thousands of Pounds of Beef Tallow Was Just Issued—Here's What to Know originally appeared on Parade. Beef tallow becoming the hottest food trend was not on my 2025 bingo card, but here we are. Everywhere you look these days, the byproduct of cooked cow's kidney and loin meat is being touted as a miracle fat worthy of both frying the best French fries you've ever had and slathering on your face as part of a game-changing skincare routine. Restaurants are switching to using it in favor of seed oils, and there are even protein bars chock-full of the stuff, but how did we get here? Can it really hydrate your skin better than Tatcha's The Dewy Skin Cream, and is it really better than using seed oils? 😋😋SIGN UP to get delicious recipes, handy kitchen hacks & more in our daily Pop Kitchen newsletter🍳🍔 The jury's still out on both of those claims, but that hasn't stopped influencers and government officials alike from singing its praises as the equivalent of this century's gold rush. Never mind the fact that beef tallow was heavily abandoned during the early 90s due to its high concentration of saturated fat, or the fact that there is no real scientific evidence that suggests that beef tallow has any actual benefits for your skin. Sure, everything is fine in moderation, and you can bet it'll make for some finger-licking good fries, but it probably won't cure your hyperpigmentation, will, however, make you smell like a burger, and if that sounds like a plus, by all means, you do you. Of course, you might second-guess reaching for that giant tub of beef fat when you see that the FDA has issued a nationwide recall on beef tallow and pork lard products due to claims that products distributed across the country were not inspected by the USDA. Sulu Organics, LLC., a distributor in Illinois, issued a recall on 6,166 pounds of its products after several consumer complaints were made to FSIS claiming that the products did not bear the USDA inspection mark. Upon further investigation, FSIS determined that the distributor purchased the products from a regulated facility and repackaged the products into smaller containers that were relabeled without FSIS inspections. Although there have been no reports of illness or adverse reactions, consumers are urged to discard any affected products or return them to the point of purchase for a full refund. You can find the complete list of items affected by the recall here.
