Skin-firming £10 serum-moisturiser called ‘alternative to Botox' now down from £30
Beauty fans know that Tuesdays are the best days to shop for top-ups or new treats, because it means that Boots' much-loved £10 Tuesday offers are running, with hundreds of products reduced down to £10 for one day only. And if you're wondering what's worth buying from the high street retailer today, we think this two-in-one, wrinkle-reducing moisturiser is one not to miss.
For today only, Boots has slashed the price of Olay Regenerist 2in1 Anti-Wrinkle Active Firming Serum & Cream down from its usual £30 to a tenner – although as it works as your serum and moisturiser in one, you're potentially saving even more compared to buying two separate products.
Why we think it's worth adding to your shopping basket today is the vast number of impressive customer reviews, with many repeat customers, and one person even calling it " an alternative to Botox" and saying that it has them "looking a decade younger".
This lightweight serum/moisturiser hybrid contains peptides to help to visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles, niacinamide to boost surface cell renewal, and hydrating, moisture-locking glycerin. Olay reports that 97% of testers reported smoother feeling skin after one day, while over time fine lines and wrinkles are visibly reduced.
Remember that you've only got today (Tuesday 12 August) to buy it for £10 at Boots. If you do miss this deal, the next cheapest place you'll find it is at Amazon, where it's currently £15.50.
It's the shopper testimonials, however, that really won us over, with many reporting how they always stock up on this when it's in the Boots £10 Tuesday sale.
"I have been using Olay Regenerist Serum for years! I'm not sure if it can reduce wrinkles, but using it daily has certainly helped to protect my skin in the ageing process (I'm now 63, looking a decade younger)," one person wrote. " Definitely an alternative to Botox, which has worked for me!"
It's worth flagging here that no topical product can replicate the muscle-freezing results of Botox, and the phrase ' Botox in a bottle ' should be treated simply as a catchy marketing term. What skincare products can do is plump, smooth and soften the appearance of lines.
"So easy to apply, smells very pleasant," another customer wrote. "It's non-greasy and leaves skin feeling smooth, light and firmer. Noticed a difference after six days – less fine lines and skin is firmer."
"This is absolutely amazing, I've tried loads of different serums but this by far is the best. My skin is so soft now, I absolutely love it," reads a third review.
One people, however, found it to not quite be a thick enough texture for their liking: "I liked this serum, not as good as my usual product so wouldn't buy again. Feels a little sticky on my skin initially but once dry is smooth. I prefer a little thicker cream but does make skin look plump and even," they wrote.
If you too would like a moisturiser with a slightly thicker consistency, there are two that our beauty editor Laura Mulley can't recommend highly enough, and regularly rebuys: Medik8 Total Moisture Daily Facial Cream, from £20, and Skin Rocks The Moisturiser, £58. Although slightly pricier – and you possibly will also need to use a targeted serum underneath – Laura says they're well worth the money, and as near to 'perfect' face creams as you'll find.

My spending was out of control until I made easy change everyone can do – it helped me pay off £9k debt on £9k salary
DEBT CHANGE My spending was out of control until I made easy change everyone can do – it helped me pay off £9k debt on £9k salary Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) OPENING her credit card statements Jo Beevers feels sick. She knew she had a problem with impulsive spending but she had never faced up to it, until now. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Jo Beevers, 46, got her spending under control with an easy trick anyone can do The 46-year-old, who lives near Chester, had always been in debt and was stuck in a constant cycle of doing 0% balance transfers. But going from a full-time job as an medical conditions and injury rehabilitation manager in a gym earning £30,000 to a working as a registrar 16 hours a week earning £9,000, Jo had no option but to stop hiding from it all and gain control. Jo said: 'I had £9,099.82 of credit card and overdraft debt and when I looked at where that money had been going, I felt ashamed. 'My spending was reckless because the money didn't feel real and I treated shopping like a hobby even though I was skint.' In 2018 Jo's "you only live once" outlook on money saw her buy a Volkswagen Up! for £9,000 while her husband, who works in IT, was away. And after a boozy lunch popped into Boots and spent £300 on perfumes she didn't need. Amazon parcels turned up every day and she even had a monthly delivery of two bottles of champagne from its Subscribe and Save service. Jo said: "It was ridiculous. If I had to hand over £80 in cash for two bottles of champagne every month I wouldn't have done it. 'But because it all went on the credit card, I didn't think about it. I knew I was bad but I could always justify my spending." Done with feeling guilty, stressed and worried about her mounting debt Jo stuffed her credit cards in a drawer and was ruthless in cancelling everything that was non-essential. I racked up £15k debt - here's how I paid it off as a single mum Then, she made one major change, at the beginning of every month she physically took out the remaining money after bills and groceries. Jo created a tracker and, in the beginning, divided the cash into different envelopes but it wasn't as easy as she thought and became overwhelmed. Jo said: 'I made loads of mistakes in the first three months by thinking the money could go further than it did. 'I created too many envelopes and the money couldn't stretch as far as I wanted it to.' Giving up temporarily, Jo worked through the overwhelm of emotions and prioritised where her money should be going and got herself back on track. She said: "Holding the money changed how I thought about it, it made it feel real. 'I had sections for debt, achievable savings goals and for non-essential spending. "Once I'd figured it out it was easy. It's so visual, it works for my mind.' Determined to pay off her debt and to keep on track, Jo created fun trackers to gamify her savings and to keep her motivated. She shared her journey on social media as @Cashbudgetbee and her trackers caught the eye of her followers. Stumbling on another way of topping up her part-time income, Jo began selling them on Etsy which has made £2,000 in the last 12 months. Jo said: 'I never thought it possible to find a way of making some extra money from my own debt clearing journey. 'But it made me feel normal to know that there were other people out there just like me.' Staying motivated was hard that's why she made the videos to share with her followers. When Jo hit a milestone, she popped into M&S and bought some champagne to treat herself, but a £22 one instead of a £40 bottle. But it can be a slippery slope, and the entrepreneurial mum, had to reign herself in. She said: 'It starts with one thing and then you're going back into old habits. And you go, 'Oh no I'm not debt free yet.'' Eighteen months on and Jo made her final payment on her credit card and if that wasn't enough, she also went into Christmas 2024 with money saved. She said: 'Being debt free is amazing, I'm the happiest I've ever been. Having money to spend at Christmas, rather than relying on credit cards was a great feeling.' But while she's riding high on clearing her debts, Jo doesn't feel like she can relax her new routine. She said: 'It really does worry me that I'll slip back as I've got 30 years-worth of spending habits to break. 'I've noticed some of my old shopping habits are sneaking back in. On Valentine's Day I didn't put anything in the budget as we hadn't planned anything. 'Then the day before I was online and putting all sorts in my basket, thankfully I was able to recognise what I was doing and stopped. All I can do is to keep trying.' Jo is giving herself new challenges to keep the momentum going and recently created an e-book sharing her own journey which she's already made £180 from.

Boots offering 'early access' to sell out No7 beauty calendars ahead of Christmas
Get exclusive early access to the sell-out No7 advent calendars and two brand new additions. It might be still early in the year, but there's a major holiday on the horizon. We're not talking Halloween or Bonfire Night, but Christmas. While we know it might be a little early to mention the dreaded 'C' word just now, there's no denying that retailers are eagerly anticipating a busy period before it inevitably sneaks up on us. How do we know this? Well Boots just opened up the waiting list for its advent calendar selection this year, giving shoppers the chance to get early access to its range of advent calendar almost a full three months before we hit December. The health and beauty chain's calendars are highly coveted every year, with this year's waiting list offering exclusive 48-hour early access to its bestselling No7 advent calendars that always sell out. This includes the lavish No7 Ultimate Beauty Advent Calendar that remains one of the firm's most extravagant options during the festive period, and this year's offering looks better than ever. Before we get into what we know so far, it's worth noting that other retailers opening up waiting lists ahead of the festive period include Holland and Barret and Lookfantastic. While we don't have all the details yet, we can confirm that Boot's 2025 calendar is set to be packed with 25 full-sized products from the brand's bestselling ranges including anti-ageing Future Renew to its limited edition Pro-Artist cosmetics. Overall, the entire worth of the contents is said to come to over £530, but it comes with a price-tag of just £175, offering beauty fanatics a staggering saving of £355 in total on some top-rated products. The exact same calendar last year came with the same price-tag, but was worth a little bit less at £514.39, which means the 2025 calendar will provide some extra savings for shoppers. Like previous years, the Ultimate Calendar looks to be packaged within a beautiful box that can also double up as storage for cosmetics, makeup and accessories. Ultimate Calendar aside, the waiting list also covers the equally popular No7 25 Days of Beauty Advent Calendar that will house indulgent award-winning beauty and skincare items that will be worth over £238, but cost just £60 overall. To ensure beauty fans don't miss out on the sell-out No7 calendars, they can sign up with their details on the Boots website now to get the chance to bag it early before they go on general sale online on Thursday, September 4. They'll also get the chance to win an exclusive pre-sale discount, alongside the chance to win a Secret Escapes voucher that is worth an incredible £400. Beauty deal of the week Get multiple benefits for the skin by taking advantage of this 53 percent discount on the unique L'Oreal Paris serum. The firm's breakthrough Age Defying Serum Le Duo provides the benefits of two serums in just one pump, being the only bottle on the market to target firmness, radiance and the appearance of wrinkles. Right now, it can be yours for just £17.95 when bought on Amazon. Since a 30ml bottle usually retails £37.99, it offers an incredible £20 saving - but the deal will only be around for a limited time. This dual-function serum has been hailed as "a breakthrough innovation from L'Oréal labs", with the beloved brand suggesting it has been clinically proven to "reverse up to five years of wrinkles." In one chamber, there is a collagen Peptide Booster to rebuild firmness and smooth out wrinkles, while the other boasts powerhouse vitamins B3 and C to reignite radiance and even out skin tone. Said to be suitable for all skin types, even sensitive, this serum has been lauded for its "non greasy" texture that doesn't leave any residue on the skin or cause that dreaded 'pilling' when combined with other skincare products. Boasting a 4.3 rating in total, one review read: "A second satisfied customer said: "This serum is a game-changer! It leaves my skin feeling hydrated, smoother, and visibly radiant. A luxurious treat that's worth every drop." Don't miss Amazon's 53 percent discount on the Age Defying Serum Le Duo (30ml) that is now £17.95, down from £37.99. And Boots hasn't stopped there, as the health and beauty chain is set to launch two new 24-day calendars this year - with both offering a staggering saving of 76 percent in total. There will be the 24 Beauty Stars Luxury Advent Calendar that is packed premium treats that are worth over £600, but costs just £150. Meanwhile, the 24 Days of Skin Advent Calendar will be worth over £285, but cost a much more affordable £70. Similar to the No7 options, shoppers can sign up for early access on the Boots website, although they will only get 24-hours early access to the calendars on Tuesday, September 9 before the general sale opens on Wednesday, September 10. Don't miss early access to Boots' No7 Advent Calendars and the new 24-day Advent Calendars by signing up to the waiting list now.

Remington's 'fast drying' £56 hair dryer now under £20 in Amazon flash sale
The Remington Hair Dyer Ionic is down to £19.99 from £56.99 on Amazon A hair dryer is an important tool, whether shoppers have long, flowing locks or keep things short and sharp. A high quality one that will dry hair effectively, quickly and that is affordable can, however, take some time to find. With a range of brands out there, often shoppers just want a trusty dryer that will get the job done without breaking the bank. Now, they are in luck as they can grab a fan favourite from Amazon. The Remington Hair Dryer Ionic is now down to £19.99 from £56.99 on Amazon. This hair dryer has several desirable features that customers want. It is said to be easy to use and practical, as it delivers a high quality blow dry to help users achieve a silky smooth look every time. The hair dryer also has integrated ionic conditioning which helps to reduce drying time but ultimately means hair will be left looking sleek and smooth rather than frizzy. There are three heat settings available and a cool shot, which blasts cool air to hair after it has been fully dried, helping to lock in the style. It also features two speed settings and comes with concentrator and diffuser attachments, making it accessible and versatile for all hair types. If there are no sockets nearby, shoppers don't need to worry as this dryer comes with a 1.7 metre cord and is easily stored away due to its compact design. If this isn't the dryer for everyone, there are a range of others to choose from such as the GHD Air Hyder Dryer for £109 which gives salon worthy blowdries in minutes and offers sleek, smooth and shiny hair as the finished product. Another is the BaByliss Expression 2000 Hair Dryer for £31 from Boots which has three temperature options, two airflow settings and has a lightweight design for easy drying. The Remington Hair Dryer has been rated a high 4.6 out of 5 stars from almost 2000 reviews. One person said: "Absolutely love this Remington hair dryer. The 2200W power ensures fast drying, and the ionic conditioning leaves my hair smooth and frizz-free. The multiple heat and speed settings make it super versatile, and the cool shot locks in my style. The included diffuser and concentrator are perfect for different styling needs. Highly recommend for professional-quality results at home." Another wrote: "Great dryer. Diffuser fits well." "Great hair dryer, I have thick hair and this dries nice and quick. Has a nice long cable and great little styling connections," said another buyer. Not everyone agreed as one person wrote: "Good hairdryer but I find it awkward as switches are opposite to what I'm used to and I keep pressing the cold air by mistake." Another said: "The hairdryer itself works well and the different settings are useful as the hot setting does get very hot. Unfortunately the nozzle is difficult to attach and comes off even after clicking into place."
