Skincare brand loved by Molly-Mae offers anti-ageing serum that leaves skin ‘radiant and plump'
Whether you're looking to revive your complexion or banish stubborn signs of ageing, look no further than this anti-ageing serum from a brand loved by Molly-Mae
Love Island star and beauty influencer Molly-Mae Hague recently shared a list of holy grail makeup and skincare products, which included the iconic name Augustinus Bader. Though it was the moisturiser Molly-Mae raved about, the brand has a range of skincare heroes that shoppers adore for their noticeable results—and this anti-ageing serum is no exception.
Rivalling the likes of Medik8, this retinol serum promises to reduce the appearance of stubborn signs of ageing, such as fine lines, deep-set wrinkles, and dark circles.
Protecting against premature ageing and future breakouts, this retinol serum currently boasts a mega 953 reviews at Sephora, with over 600 giving it a perfect 5-star rating. Formulated to reduce the appearance of deep lines and wrinkles, blemishes, and pigmentation, this serum promises a lightweight and hydrating texture that feels clean on the skin.
Created without irritants, allergens, or synthetic fragrance, this serum is touted as perfect for blemish-prone and ageing skin and works to tackle everything from breakouts to crow's feet.
This serum combines pure retinol with TFC8's cell-renewing properties to create healthier, rejuvenated skin. Aiming to reduce the appearance of deep lines and wrinkles, it also purifies pores and targets blemishes at the root for clear, smooth, even skin.
Augustinus Bader's retinol serum aims to optimise the skin microbiome and prevent the growth of bacteria, which is responsible for skin concerns and thus reduces the risk of further breakouts and pimples. Prioritising the reduction of acne scars and hyperpigmentation, this serum also locks in moisture, keeping skin hydrated, radiant, and plump.

One 5-star reviewer beams: ' This product is by far one of the best I have ever used. It feels so light-weight and you don't even know it is on your skin. It helps with thin lines and signs of aging. It has no scent, so it is perfect if you can't do smells in your skin care products. . The slender bottle makes it easy to take with you when you are away from home and the bottle and packaging all look so high-end.'
More love comes from this customer who shares: ' My skin looked very radiant and felt very plump after using this product. I would use it after my toner. The product didn't have a scent which I didn't mind. The packaging is cute. It comes with a holder for it to sit in and also the products are refillable.'
Further adoration comes from this buyer who gushes: 'Received a sample of this serum. And WOW!!! Used this sample nightly to dab on my one mila that was on my cheek. The mila disappeared in 7 days. This is a gentle but so very effective. Love it!!'
A fourth chimes in: ' The Augustinus Bader retinol serum makes my face skin feel so smooth and clear. I have noticed my wrinkles reduced after using it for 1 week. I love that it comes with a stand to make it look nicer on my counter.'
And another shopper enthuses: ' The Augustinus Bader Retinol Serum is a skincare must-have! It has a luxurious, lightweight texture that absorbs quickly into the skin without feeling greasy. After consistent use, I noticed significant improvements in skin texture, reduced fine lines, and an overall radiant glow. The packaging is sleek and convenient, and the formula is gentle enough not to cause irritation while still delivering powerful results. It's a splurge-worthy product that truly lives up to its claims!'

Unusual smell that could mean you have bed bugs and how to banish them
Searches for 'bed bugs' have risen by 838% in the UK. According to experts households should be cleaning their mattresses every six months to help prevent a build-up of bacteria, germs and, the words nobody wants to hear, bed bugs. In the last seven days, online searches for 'bed bugs' have risen by 838% in the UK. So, with Brits scrambling to spot and prevent infestations, bedroom furnishings experts are warning homeowners to watch for an unusual almond-like smell which could be a telltale sign of a significant bed bug infestation. Bed bugs are small, wingless insects that feed on human blood and are typically found around beds to stay close to their food source. Norman Smith, Director and owner of Invicta Environmental, a pest control company said this distinctive odour is often missed by people looking for more obvious signs like bites or spotting the insects themselves. He said: "When bed bugs have established themselves in large numbers, they release pheromones that create a musty, sweet almond smell. Many people don't connect this smell with bedbugs and might search for other causes like damp." Bed bugs are believed to be masters of hiding and can be very difficult to spot. Norman added: "Most people think they'll easily see bed bugs crawling around, but they're incredibly sneaky insects. Their flat bodies allow them to hide in the tiniest cracks and seams of mattresses, bed frames, and furniture." The small insects have evolved to be particularly evasive, only emerging to feed when humans are deeply asleep and less likely to disturb them. Norman said: "Bed bugs typically feed for two to five minutes before retreating back to their hiding places. This usually happens between 2am and 5am when people are in their deepest sleep stage." The bedroom expert also highlighted another unusual sign - rust-colored stains on sheets and mattresses which aren't always connected to bed bugs. According to Norman, people often mistake these small brownish stains for dirt or other marks, but they're actually bed bug droppings. The dark brown or rust-colored spots can stain bed linen and mattresses, and are a major red flag that bed bugs have moved in. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

He added that finding blood spots on sheets is another significant indicator. Saying: "After feeding, bedbugs can leave small blood spots behind. These aren't usually from the bite itself, but from the bedbug being squashed if you roll over in your sleep." Unusual bite patterns can also help identify a bed bug problem. Norman said: "If you notice bites in a straight line or clustered in a small area, this could be bed bugs. It's sometimes called the 'breakfast, lunch, and dinner' pattern because if a bed bug gets disturbed while feeding, it will move a short distance and try again." The bedroom furnishings specialist stressed that prompt action is critical for tackling bed bug problems as bed bugs reproduce extremely rapidly - a female can lay approximately 200 eggs in just five days. This means a small problem can quickly become a major infestation if not addressed immediately. For those concerned about a possible infestation, Norman advised: "Strip the bed completely and check all seams and piping of the mattress. Don't forget to inspect the bed frame, particularly in corners and joints. Bed bugs can hide in the smallest cracks - as thin as a credit card."

Shoppers 'come back to' face wash with loads of five-star reviews
Fresh Soy Face Cleanser has been a firm favourite since it was first launched in 1990 and it's been approved by people with sensitive or irritated skin The skincare market is awash with products flaunting cutting-edge technologies and ingredients, all designed to keep beauty enthusiasts looking their best while addressing skin issues. However, there are always those timeless staples that everyone adores, and for me, it's the Fresh Soy Face Cleanser - a gentle yet hard-working face wash. First introduced in 1990, this cleanser combines soy proteins, cucumber extract, and rosewater in its formula, creating a hydrating trio that ensures a balanced and softened complexion. The jumbo 400ml size is on offer at Sephora for £62 instead of £66, where it has thousands of five-star reviews. Elsewhere on LookFantastic, shoppers can get a 50ml version for £15 or 150ml tube for £34. This face wash does more than just boost hydration; it also doubles as a makeup remover, deeply cleansing pores without stripping the skin. The amino acid-rich soy protein helps retain skin elasticity for a smooth and supple feel, while also maintaining the skin's pH value and strengthening the moisture barrier. For those with sensitive skin, shoppers have recommended the La Roche-Posay Toleriane Dermo-Cleanser Sensitive Skin, priced at £23.50. This milky cleanser is enriched with Glycerine and La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water, instantly soothing and cleansing irritated skin, reported Birmingham Live. Alternatively, TikTok-viral Korean beauty brand Dr Althea's Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm has a sorbet-like texture that melts makeup and deep cleanses, which is gentle on sensitive skin thanks to the 14 essential ingredients in the formula. It's currently on 13% off on Amazon and reduced to £19.99. Fresh Soy Face Cleanser 50ml £66 £15 LookFantastic Buy Now on LookFantastic Product Description The Soy Face Cleanser is a gentle, barely foaming facial wash with a unique texture that I liken to room-temperature egg yolk, infused with a waft of crisp cucumber and fresh aloe vera. Simply dampen your skin and massage over your face and eyes to remove dirt and makeup before rinsing with water – it's perfect for daily use both morning and night. Post-rinse, my skin was devoid of any feeling of tightness, and the cleanser also helped soothe my occasional acne, aiding in a speedier recovery process. More than 2,600 customers have endorsed the Fresh cleanser with stellar five-star testimonials. One customer enthused: "It thoroughly takes off any excess dirt and makeup from my skin after my oil cleanse and I've noticed that I haven't been breaking out in spots where I normally struggle with acne due to residual makeup." Another commented: "I had my boyfriend try it after he got sunburned to wash his face, and it was extremely gentle for him as well, while still cleaning his skin." However, a group of shoppers conceded that they were "not a big fan of the scent". With one remarking: "It smells like cucumbers but it's a bit too strong for my nose, which is particularly sensitive to any fragrances." Another customer expressed her preference for a more frothy consistency, explaining: "I feel like I had to use more product than normal to wash my face because it didn't lather. It did leave my skin feeling soft and clean." One customer has been a repeat customer for years: "I have used this product on and off since I was 15 years old. Over 10 years later, I still come back to it. It is super gentle, never broken me out and removed makeup well. Don't use if you have a soy allergy, other than that, it is a wonderful product." "One small dab will clean my whole face. I love that it's not a foaming face wash and that it is extremely gentle," another satisfied customer shared. "Many cleansers that I've used have required two 'washings' in order to get all of my makeup off - Fresh's Soy Face Cleanser does not."

I created a personalised skincare routine with a £34 at-home skin analysis tool
The Beautypro skin analysis device gives you an accurate reading on what your skin needs to help you tailor your skincare routine to suit your complexion – and it's on sale for £34 If you've ever had a fancy facial, you'll know that one of the most fascinating parts is when your beautician analyses your skin and determines exactly what your skin needs. Although these types of analysis can be pricey, I spotted this brilliant affordable version that you can do from the comfort of your home and decided to put it to the test. As someone with chronically dry skin I'm always looking for ways to improve my skin's condition, and the Beautypro Hydratest Skin Analysis Device was exactly what I needed to elevate my skincare routine. It helps determine your skin's oil and hydration levels, allowing you to alter your skincare products according to what your skin needs, and lets you keep track of any improvements. One of the best initial things about the Hydratest is how compact it is. It's no bigger than a regular marker pen, so it's easy to store in your bathroom cabinet or in a drawer or shelf without taking up too much space. It also could not be easier to use. You simply press the measurement button, let it do a quick self test, then it's good to go. You then just press it into your skin in whatever area you want to test until it beeps, and the rounded ball tips will read your skin and give you your results – all in under three seconds. The Hydratest Skin Analysis Device has a clear, easy to read display that shows you what hydration percentage your skin has as well as an oil level guide, so you can see where your skin falls. There's also a handy chart which comes with it that lets you make sense of your readings, so you can see which areas your skin needs improving on. Its price is also a huge selling point; it's one of the most affordable on the market. Currently Sephora has it on sale down from £49 to £34.30. If you do want something super advanced, this Professional Skin Analyzer Machine is a whopping £1438. The MASKOLOGY Skin Analyser is also very similar to Beautypro's, and priced at £49. The Boddceto Woods Lamp Skin Analyzer is £35.62, but it requires much more faffing around (including getting your hands on a medical grade magnifying glass). My review of the It'll come as no surprise that my dry skin ranked at around 33% hydration levels, which is dry. Certain areas, like around my temples and forehead, were as low as 27% – which immediately told me those needed more attention when it came to my serums and moisturisers. This is a super simple and effective way of getting a good reading (quite literally) on your skin, although if I had to nitpick it would be brilliant if there was some kind of app or something which could offer skincare suggestions. However, the simplicity of this is also its strength; you can quickly grab it and use it in seconds, and it's ideal for giving you some direction in your skincare regime. I tried it again after a week of careful moisturising, adding extra hydrating products to my routine and upping my water intake, and the Hydratest Skin Analysis Device did show an improvement. It wasn't drastic, but considering it takes around a month for new skin cells to renew I'd be shocked if it was a dramatic increase. However I loved that it showed me I was heading in the right direction. This will definitely become a handy tool in my skincare arsenal, and considering you'd usually only have access to this type of info by spending big money or as part of a professional facial, it was fab. It currently only has one review on Sephora, but it's a positive five star one. They said: 'Bought this after attending a Tropic skincare event where they used similar devices so I thought I'd give it a go. Very impressed with it certainly better in quality than the cheap £15 ones on Amazon! Keep a regular check on your hydration levels, could be used in a beauty business too.' You can shop Beautypro's Hydratest Skin Analysis Device for £34.30 (down from £49) now.
