Trinny London's new serum helps you ‘age backwards' and repairs skin in 30 mins
Trinny Woodall's popular skincare and make-up brand has just launched a new elixir that aims to restore the five key signs of skin vitality and give deliver 48 hours of hydration
If you feel as if your skin is looking dull, dehydrated and generally a little lacklustre, Trinny London's latest skincare launch might be just the thing for you, with some clever science behind it and some impressive clinical results.
Trinny London – founded by Trinny Woodall – has today dropped its newest skincare innovation, Take Back Time Elixir. This light, liquid serum penetrates deeply into the skin to restore five key signs of vitality: elasticity, smoothness, softness, luminosity and hydration – in fact, the brand's lab tests show that it increased hydration levels for 48 hours. Sounds like youth in a bottle, we think!
Take Back Time, priced at £79, contains micro-infusion technology to get its effective ingredients to penetrate to a cellular level to target the vascular network. As we age, this system slows by up to 40%, leaving our skin looking dull and and tired, the brand explains. This smart formula, however, immediately transforms dehydrated skin into skin, boosting its vitality, suppleness and hydration.
It's also been proven to have almost instant effects on the skin's health, with clinical tests showing that it repairs and strengthens the skin barrier in just 30 minutes.
And if you're wondering what an 'elixir' is and how it fits into your skincare routine, Trinny herself helpfully explains this on the website, calling it a formula that " will penetrate more deeply into your skin than a serum", explaining that two pumps should be patted into the skin after cleansing and applying serum, and before your SPF or moisturiser. "I sometimes use it just on its own when I literally have two seconds to get out of the door, then I put an SPF on top," Trinny adds.
REN Clean Skincare and Caudalie sell their own products that they calls elixirs, although both of these formulations are very different; REN's is an oil, and Caudalie's is a mist.
One customer has already tried it and left their glowing review on the Trinny London website: "Love this elixir, I haven't used anything like it before. It's between a serum and a cream and dramatically hydrates my skin," they wrote.
If you're already a fan of Trinny London or are thinking of adding a full Trinny skincare routine to your shopping basket, the brand says that Take Back Time Elixir pairs well with its bestselling Take Back Time Eye Treatment; you can even buy the two together for £130, saving you £14 compared to buying them individually.
If, however, you don't fancy adding an additional step into your skincare routine and are looking for a one-step serum that boosts radiance, we also rate Sculpted by Aimee HydraGlo serum, £30, and the new Medik8 C-Tetra Advanced, £69 – you can read our beauty editor's full review of it here.

Viral 'super' serum that 'blurs wrinkles' cut to lowest ever price on Amazon
This powerhouse serum was once dubbed 'the cult beauty product of 2024.' The world of skincare is bigger than ever these days. Whether it be wrinkles, pigmentation or anti-ageing, we all have the areas we'd like to target more than others. Looking to target multiple in one go? Then enter the Olay Super Serum, the first of its kind, as it offers five different skincare benefits in just one bottle - and it's at its cheapest ever price on Amazon. The beauty brand's "miracle" serum first made waves when it debuted in the USA in 2023. After officially going available in the UK last year, it quickly earned the title as "the cult beauty product of 2024." While it's certainly popular, it can be quite pricey at £39.99 for a small 30ml bottle. Fortunately, Amazon has knocked 55 percent off the price, taking it to just £18.14, the cheapest it has ever been available to buy for. Not only is this the cheapest price we have spotted Amazon selling it for, as it's currently the lowest price on the entire high street, with Boots and Superdrug stocking it at full-price, while Ocado has it for £20. A unique addition to the skincare market, this powerhouse serum has been infused with the five ingredients - niacinamide, vitamin C, collagen peptides, vitamin E and AHA lactic acid. This means that it provides five benefits in just one bottle that include brightening, firming, toning, hydrating and much more. Considering it's the only serum on the market to do so, it's understandable why it's still hugely popular. It boasts a colour-changing soft purple iridescence, providing the skin with that 'barely-there' natural radiance. It's so popular that the brand claims that it "quickly became a viral sensation, with one bottle sold every minute." While no other option on the market offers as many benefits in one bottle, the popular L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect Serum Le Duo (30ml), £37.99 at Boots, harnesses the power of two serums to target firmness, wrinkles and radiance. Meanwhile, celebrity-backed brand Medik8 has just launched its brand new C-Tetra Advanced (30ml), a brightening and anti-ageing serum that boasts vitamin C, vitamin E and hyaluronic acid for £69. Skincare enthusiasts will be all too aware of the reputation the Olay Super Serum has managed to garner over the past year, as it has earned a 4.4 rating from users who say it is a "minor miracle" and that it works "like magic".

Although, another positive review read: "This stuff is like magic. It makes your skin so soft! I'm not a girly girl, I don't use tons of make up, I'm not incredibly interested in skin care - but ONE experience with this stuff and I'm never living without it. It instantly absorbs and makes you feel at your best. I've even had compliments when wearing it. Id recommend this to everyone!"
