Enthusiasts of L'Oreal's Cell Renew Midnight Serum are celebrating as the anti-ageing skincare treatment has been slashed at Amazon, now available for more than half the original price. Priced at £15.39, reduced from £31.99, beating what shoppers will discover for the identical serum at Boots, where it's available for £26.25.
The highly-rated serum is designed to leave skin appearing tighter, more youthful, brighter and firmer by dawn. Consumers should use several drops of the treatment each morning and evening, with the manufacturer claiming they'll awaken to more youthful-looking skin.
Purchasers who have trialled the serum are validating these claims, with one individual observing it required just seven days of application before witnessing wrinkle-diminishing effects, reports the Express.

Their assessment states: "I'm over 40 and felt my skin was looking lacklustre so needed a boost. This serum is lovely and I felt I could see results in just 7 days. The results keep coming as every week I feel more of a glow and even complexion. I do feel some of my finer wrinkles have really smoothed. The serum has a lovely smooth texture and isn't sticky or greasy. It dries in perfectly and feels so light on my face."
Another said: "I love everything about this product. It's worth every penny. The texture, consistency, it absorbs beautifully and It's effective. I have seen a significant improvement of my skin..even my boyfriend noticed!"

One customer discovered that L'Oreal's Midnight Serum bore a striking resemblance to a pricier alternative.
They said: "really nice oil for your face your face feels really refreshed in morning when you put in on ar night sleep in it - a dupe for Estée Lauder night oil."
The Estée Lauder counterpart is currently discounted at LookFantastic, available for £54.95, reduced from £65, and despite its higher price tag, users have noted its suitability for 'sensitive skin'.
However, some customers have expressed frustration with the serum's packaging, which they feel leads to wastage.
A user voiced their concern, saying: "My only qualm is the bottle. There is only 30mls of serum in the bottle, it is really annoying when you can't get the last few mls out. I end up turning the bottle upside down and bashing it to try and remove the serum. I would hate to pay full price and waste some of the product. As I said I love the product but wish L'Oréal would change the bottle."
For those who favour a pump applicator over a pipette, the Paula's Choice Anti-ageing Antioxidant Serum comes highly recommended. Priced at £45, customers rave that it 'blends into your skin like a dream' and is a product they 'never let it run out'.

Another shopper expressed their fondness for L'Oreal's product, stating: "The L'Oreal Paris Midnight Serum Cell Renew is a staple in my skincare routine - I buy it again and again! I absolutely love the light, silky texture that absorbs beautifully into the skin without feeling greasy. The subtle, luxurious scent makes the experience even more enjoyable. Over time, I've noticed my skin looking smoother, more radiant, and well-hydrated. It feels like a high-end product at a much more affordable price."

Ruth Langsford says 'I feel doubly bad' as family worries are 'always in back of my mind'
EXCLUSIVE: Loose Women star Ruth Langsford has opened up about the guilt she feels while juggling her family responsibilities with an incredibly busy work schedule Ruth Langsford has admitted that her mum Joan's struggles with Alzheimer's disease are "always in the back of my mind". 94-year-old Joan lives in a care home, but Ruth, 65, handles all of her personal needs, including attending medical appointments with her mum, and facilitating any shopping requests. In an exclusive interview to discuss her collaboration with Amazon and UK charity Dementia Carers Count, who have partnered up to create an Alexa guide for carers, the Loose Women presenter said she frequently gets plagued with guilt if she ever forgets any of her responsibilities while looking after her beloved mum. Ruth explained: "It's always in the back of my mind. I mean, I am fortunate that her care home is literally around the corner from me, and I can see the roof of her care home through my bedroom window. "And I always know… I was on holiday recently, I know she's been well looked after, I don't worry. But she's always in the back of my mind anyway, with whatever I'm doing really. "I take her flowers every week, I pick flowers from the garden. If I'm out and I see something and I think, 'oh mum would like that,' or I'll get her that gardening magazine – she doesn't really read anymore, but she likes the pictures. "So when it's someone you love, they're always on your mind really, whatever you're doing, and that's a good thing, I like her to be on my mind." However, Ruth admitted that she feels an additional pressure to take care of her mum, as she is now her only daughter, after her sister, Julia, tragically died in 2019. She continued: "But it's the responsibility thing. I don't have my sister anymore, sadly, and so I feel that kind of... if I forget to make her dental appointment, I feel doubly bad than if I'd forgotten my own dental appointment, and I think, 'that's so bad, I'm such a bad daughter'." Fortunately, the ITV favourite has found that utilising her Amazon Alexa has made things easier, as the device and accompanying apps allow her to set audio and visual reminders for appointments, and also help her to stay organised with shopping lists. Ruth added: "You can put something in your diary, which I often do, but unless you look at the diary… I'll see it [too late], and then think, 'oh gosh, will I get back from work on time?' So to have that reminder and set reminders, I think would be very, very helpful." The mum-of-one, who shares son Jack with her estranged husband Eamonn Holmes, is very keen to raise awareness of the difficulties that unpaid carers face on a daily basis while looking after their loved ones. She shared: "When I read about this campaign I thought, any little thing that can help somebody who's a carer in any way, whether it makes life quicker, easier, whether they just feel more supported, whether they feel less alone – it can be very lonely – then it's a good thing. "The things that really stood out to me are being able to add things to the shopping list, the calendar, and the reminders, because I'm a very busy person and we know a lot of carers have jobs, maybe have children, and they have a parent or loved one who needs help, and it's a lot of plate spinning, and it's a lot of responsibility, and you forget things. "So if something pops into my head, I think, 'gosh, I must remember to book a dental appointment for my mum,' I can just say it out loud – 'Alexa, remind me to book a dentist appointment for mum, Alexa, please add shower gel and toothpaste to my shopping list for mum', and it's just done, and I know it's done. "And actually, with the shopping list, if you've got the app, the list is on your phone. So anything like that just makes life easier for somebody who's caring, and they say there's 700,000 people (unpaid, may I say) carers in the UK, and you have no training, it's just really difficult for people."

Warning as deadly ‘suitcase viruses' that destroy organs and trigger brain swelling spread across the UK and Europe
DEADLY viruses could be making their way to the UK on planes and in holidaymakers' suitcases, experts warn. They say international travel is fuelling a "concerning" rise in both chikungunya and oropouche, and the worst could be yet to come. 18 18 18 Simon Clarke, professor of cellular microbiology at the University of Reading, told The Sun: "As Brits develop more exotic tastes for travel to warmer places closer to the equator, we are increasingly likely to see unusual infections upon their return. "While oropouche is mainly found in the Amazon and chikungunya in sub-tropical regions, they are spreading. "Both have been detected in the United States and Europe, where sporadic outbreaks in France and Italy have occurred." Paul Hunter, a professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia, added: "There is a small risk of airport associated infections whereby infected mosquitoes arrive in the UK on board airplanes and then escape. "The spread of any infection into a previously unexposed population is always a matter for concern." Chikungunya is a virus spread by mosquito bites, the symptoms of which include a sudden fever and joint pain. Most people recover within two weeks, but the joint pain can last for months or even years, according to the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA). In some cases, it is so bad it causes sufferers to "fold in half" or "become contorted" as they double over in agony. Serious complications are not common, but in rare cases the disease can cause organ damage and be fatal, particularly in very young or older people, or those with underlying health conditions. The latest report from the UKHSA shows there were 73 cases of chikungunya reported in England, primarily in London, between January and June 2025 - the highest number ever recorded. This compares to 27 cases for the same period last year. The majority were linked to travel to Sri Lanka, India and Mauritius. There is currently no risk of onward transmission of chikungunya, as the two species of mosquito that transmit the disease are not established in the UK. But experts fear cases could continue to rise with global travel and rising temperatures. Prof Clarke said: "Chikungunya is spread by mosquitoes, one of which, the tiger mosquito, has been detected in the South East of England. "It's worth emphasising the negative impact that global warming may have on a resilience to infections like this, which we've always taken for granted in the UK. "A warmer climate may mean that we have to take greater precautions at home against infections spread by insects." 18 Prof Hunter added: "We have seen local outbreaks of both dengue and chikungunya multiple times on the Mediterranean coasts of France, Italy and Spain over the past decade, and such events seem to be becoming more frequent. "Chikungunya outbreaks are less common than dengue, but when we do see them, they tend to be big, at least in Italy. "Both chikungunya and oropouche can occasionally be fatal. And the fact that locally-acquired infections are being reported from multiple locations this year is concerning. "There will be several more weeks before the mosquito season starts to tail off [so it could get worse]. "We will almost certainly see more cases in the UK, but at least for a few decades, these are all likely to have been acquired overseas." Chikungunya can be a nasty disease and we're seeing a worrying increase in cases among travellers returning to the UK Dr Philip VealUKHSA Chikungunya mainly occurs in Africa and southern Asia, although cases have been reported in Europe and parts of North America. This year, there have been outbreaks in the Americas and Asia, with surges on the Indian Ocean islands of Reunion, Mayotte and Mauritius. More than 10,000 people have also been struck down in China since June 2025. The majority of cases have been reported in Foshan, a city in the southern Guangdong province, where officials have since rolled out Covid-style lockdowns and been spraying insecticides in a desperate bid to stop the virus from spiralling out of control. At least 12 other cities in the southern Guangdong province have also reported infections, as well as Hong Kong and Taiwan. Since early 2025, there have been 240,000 cases and 90 deaths reported in 16 countries, according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). 18 18 18 18 Two chikungunya vaccines are approved for use in the UK and are available to buy after an assessment at a private travel clinic. Travellers can stay safe by using insect repellent and covering their skin, especially at dawn and dusk. 'ESSENTIAL' PRECAUTIONS Dr Philip Veal, consultant in public health at UKHSA, said: "Chikungunya can be a nasty disease and we're seeing a worrying increase in cases among travellers returning to the UK. "While this mosquito-borne infection is rarely fatal, it can cause severe joint and muscle pain, headaches, sensitivity to light and skin rashes. "Thankfully symptoms usually improve within a few weeks, but joint pain may last for months or longer. "It is essential to take precautions against mosquito bites when travelling. "Simple steps, such as using insect repellent, covering up your skin and sleeping under insecticide-treated bed nets can greatly reduce the risk." 18 The UKHSA has also detected the first cases of oropouche in travellers coming to the UK from Brazil. The flu-like illness can cause a fever, headaches, joint pain, muscle pain, chills, nausea and vomiting. In serious cases, it can cause brain-swelling, specifically in the form of encephalitis and meningitis. Officials are urging anyone who becomes unwell after travel to affected areas, including parts of Central and South America and the Caribbean, to seek urgent medical advice. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), before late 2023, oropouche was mostly reported near the Amazon rainforest area. It was dubbed 'sloth fever' as it circulates between primates, sloths and birds before occasionally being passed to humans by midges and mosquitoes. In 2024, Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Cuba, Guyana, Peru and the Dominican Republic reported locally transmitted cases of the disease. Travel-related cases are now cropping up across Europe. Francois Balloux, professor of computational systems biology and director of the UCL Genetics Institute, specialising in infectious diseases, said: "There seems to have been a marked increase of both chikungunya and oropouche cases in the parts of the world where they're endemic. "It is obviously a problem as both are unpleasant viruses. "Neither could circulate in the UK as their vectors are absent, but travellers are being infected overseas and returning home. "The number of cases in the UK could go up or down in the future." 18 18 18 18 The first imported cases of oropouche were reported in Europe in June and July 2024. There were 12 in Spain, five in Italy and two in Germany. All had a history of travel to Cuba or Brazil. Direct human-to-human transmission of the virus has not been documented so far, according to the ECDC. The prognosis for recovery is good and "fatal outcomes are extremely rare". There are no vaccines to prevent or specific medication to treat oropouche. The UKHSA report also shows a rise in travel-associated cholera cases in the UK, with eight cases in the first half of the year compared to just one in 2024. Most cases were linked with travel to India and Ethiopia. There was also a 67 per cent decrease in the number of dengue cases reported in England, Wales and Northern Ireland from January to June, and there were just four cases of zika virus during the period, down from nine in 2024. Oropouche virus: Everything you need to know Oropouche is a disease caused by Oropouche virus. It is spread through the bites of infected midges (small flies) and mosquitoes. Symptoms ARE similar to dengue and include: a headache, fever, muscle aches, stiff joints, nausea, vomiting, chills, or sensitivity to light. Severe cases may result in brain diseases such as meningitis. Symptoms typically start four to eight days after being bitten and last three to six days. Most people recover without long-term effects. There are no specific medications or vaccines available. Travellers heading to affected areas should take steps to avoid bug bites. The virus is endemic in many South American countries, in both rural and urban communities. Outbreaks are periodically reported in Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Panama, Peru, and Trinidad and Tobago. Wear tops with long sleeves and long trousers, apply insect repellent regularly, and sleep under a mosquito net if you are not in enclosed, air-conditioned accommodation.
