Boots' 'amazing' £35 serum that 'targets six wrinkle zones' now £10
Skincare shoppers can save on the popular No7 skincare product with a limited-time offer
Boots shoppers can bag a serum "clinically proven to reduce the appearance of wrinkles by up to five years" for £10. The popular skincare product, which is usually priced at £34.95, is featured in Boots' £10 Tuesday offers.
As such, customers can get the No7 LABORATORIES LINE CORRECTING Booster Serum 15ml for less than half price. Hundreds of products have been slashed in price for the weekly shopping event, with the deals available for just one day. Online shoppers can save on makeup, skincare, shampoo, body wash, and more.
Boots says No7 has sold more than four million booster serums, and the dermatologist-approved product has an average rating of 3.8 out of five. One buyer claimed they saw "an amazing difference in a deep frown line" on their forehead, while another suggested that "it takes years off you."
Unfortunately, not everyone experienced the same results. Shoppers looking for alternatives might prefer the Olay Anti-Wrinkle Firm & Lift 2in1 Face Cream + Serum 50ml, which is £13.99 at Superdrug.
Elsewhere, customers might like Plantscription Active Wrinkle Correction Serum, which is currently half price at £37.50 at Beauty Bay, or the Clinique Smart Clinical Repair Wrinkle Correcting Serum 30ml, which is on offer for £49.60 at Look Fantastic.
The product description for Boots' product says: "No7 LABORATORIES LINE CORRECTING Booster Serum is our most supercharged serum to date. Formulated with 7x the Matrixyl 3000+ than our previous clinically proven serums.
"It's been clinically proven to visibly reduce the appearance of even the deepest, most stubborn lines and wrinkles. Designed to be applied directly to lines and wrinkles for fast, visible results where you want them most."
Boots says that Matrixyl 3000+ is "No7's powerful peptide blend that supports the skins natural springs providing elasticity and bounce, which depletes as we age." It adds that the serum is "powered to intensively target six key wrinkle zones," including the forehead, lip, and under eyes.
One happy customer wrote: "It really works! I've been using this for just two weeks and I can see an amazing difference in a deep frown line on my forehead. The product feels lovely to apply and most importantly it really works!"
A pleased shopper added: "Wow this does work. I was sceptical reading the other reviews but picked it up for £10 Tuesday offer. It really does work. After losing weight and gaining a few years, I noticed a few deep brow lines starting. After one week of they are virtually gone."
However, not everyone was happy with their results, reports the Mirror. An unimpressed customer said: "Been using a while and not noticed any visible difference. Glad I bought this on offer would not pay full price."
Another wrote: "Bit disappointing. Goes on nicely but can't really see its making a difference and this is the second one I've purchased..so don't think I'll buy any more."
Someone else replied: "Have nearly finished the vial in a short amount of time. I do not see the slightest difference in my lines. If it weren't for the Tuesday offer I would not have tried it. I don't think I will be repurchasing again. There are cheaper option on the market which are better."
However, many of the reviews remained positive. A different reviewer said: "It takes years off you! I have been using this product for a couple of weeks and have found it really works and is beneficial for my wrinkled skin." A fan added: "Stops the lines & wrinkles. I love this serum, works so well on reducing lines. Always get this when on offer."

I tried the 16p Boots dupes of Kourtney Kardashian's Lemme gummies – there's an agonising side-effect I couldn't stand
WITH a to-do-list as long as my forearm, getting a full eight hours of sleep is something that rarely ever happens in my life. As someone with a VERY busy social life and an incredibly intense job, a good quality night's sleep is something I often strive for, but often don't experience. 5 5 So could a so-called 'science-backed' capsule created by Kourtney Kardashian's supplements brand be the answer? Lemme Sleep Tight Gummies claim to 'help you fall asleep and stay asleep', whilst helping you 'wake up feeling refreshed'. The supplement contains melatonin, which helps you to fall asleep and promotes restful sleep patterns, while Magnesium, L-Theanine and a dreamy blend of Chamomile, Lavender and Elderberry let you drift off in peace. But at £23 a pop and my purse feeling tighter than ever before, I was on a mission to find something slightly more purse-friendly. And that's where the Habi Bedtime Sleep Gummies from Boots come in. At just £10 for a pack of 60, this high-street buy, which works out at just 16p per gummy, appeared to be a much kinder solution to my sore wallet. But could this dupe, which is part of Boots' 'vibrant and fresh' new approach to wellness, help me sleep? I've noticed numerous five star reviews of the gummies online and many have reported noticing improvements in sleep quality. One happy shopper beamed: 'Bought when they came out a few weeks ago and I take one one hour before bed and definitely have a deeper and longer sleep.' Meanwhile, another added: 'Doesn't send me to sleep quicker, but definitely a deeper sleep!' The popular sleep position doctor warns should be avoided and could be the cause of your back and neck pain A whirlwind two weeks So in an attempt to feel less tired all of the time, I thought I'd see what the fuss was all about. But I can safely say, the past two weeks have been an absolute whirlwind in terms of my sleep. The best sleep routine and environment Thomas Høegh Reisenhus, TEMPUR® sleep specialist & sleep counsellor, reveals the key components of a good bedtime routine and environment... A sure-fire way to facilitate a better night's sleep is to practice good sleep hygiene. Establish a sleep routine that works for you and stick to it. This will help your body establish a consistent, natural sleep-wake cycle which can do wonders for your overall sleep quality. As such, try to avoid making up for lost sleep with a lie-in. Instead of sleeping in, spend your morning reading a book in bed or having a leisurely coffee in the kitchen. Ensure that your bedroom, bedding, and sleepwear are fit for purpose too. The ideal sleep environment is dark, quiet, and cool – much like a cave. If you find unwelcome sources of light are keeping you up, consider investing in an eye mask or black-out curtains. Adding soft furnishings can be a great way to reduce noise, with the surfaces having an absorptive quality, but if this doesn't work, consider embracing a soothing soundtrack to block it out. In terms of temperature, try to keep your bedroom at 18°C. You can further reduce the risk of waking up due to overheating by ensuring that all your bedding and sleepwear is made with natural, breathable materials such as cotton and linen. Bear in mind that everyone is different; what might work for most, may not work for you! Whilst knowing how much sleep you should get, how to overcome common barriers, and practicing good sleep hygiene can facilitate a great night's sleep, if you continue to struggle with sleep or fatigue persistently, do not hesitate to visit a doctor or health professional for support. From hours of tossing and turning to the most vivid dreams I've ever had, it's been bizarre. Despite that, normally I always wake up in the middle of the night, desperate for a wee, but thankfully, there's been none of that. Every night, just before bed, I've been having my dose of one capsule a day. Hours of tossing and turning But rather than 'drift into dream land' as Boots bosses suggest, I found myself tossing and turning for hours. The first two nights after chewing on the gummy, which I have to say is delicious, I battled sleep until the early hours. I put my phone down and was ready to catch some Zs just before 10pm, but by 1am, I was still wide awake. I even resorted to the age-old classic of counting sheep - that's how agonising it was Abby Wilson I'm not someone who normally struggles to get to sleep, or has a brain overflowing with thoughts as soon as they hit the sack, but for some reason, my head was on overdrive. While I typically like to fall asleep to silence, I found myself desperately logging into YouTube and searching for 'sounds to fall asleep to', in the hope that anything would help. Not only this, but I even resorted to the age-old classic of counting sheep - that's how agonising it was. The 'flavoured food supplement' gummies, which are suitable for adults and children aged 12 years and over, contain Griffonia Seed and Lemon Balm Extracts, alongside Vitamin B6, which is said to help you end your day with a clear mind. According to those at Boots, the gummies, which are vegetarian and vegan, are 'believed to help support sleep and relaxation', but I can't say they worked for me. Feeling exhausted Despite two nights of hell, the third night I actually had a decent sleep, but surprisingly, woke up feeling exhausted. But things soon began to pick up as a few days later, I had one of the best sleeps I've had in a long time. Unfortunately, the improvements in my sleep habits didn't seem to last, as on reflection, it appears that in the two weeks of taking these gummies, I've had many more bad nights than good. Not only does my brain appear to go into overdrive as soon as I hit the pillow, but I've never felt so restless, agitated and unsettled as much in my life. Having said that, I do think my sleep is deeper once I'm finally off. The gummies, which are free from artificial colours, flavours and preservatives, are DELICIOUS, so much so that I'd be tempted to demolish the whole box in one sitting. Top tips and tricks for winding down for sleep before bed EMILY Robertson, from Mira Showers, shared their top sleep hacks, particularly for during hot weather. Wind down with purpose About an hour before bed, start dimming lights around your home. This signals to your brain that it's time to produce melatonin, your natural sleep hormone. Think of it as helping your body shift gears from "daytime mode" to "sleep mode." Disconnect to reconnect Put away phones, tablets, and laptops at least 30 minutes before bedtime. The blue light from screens tricks your brain into thinking it's still daytime. Instead, try reading a physical book or magazine under soft lighting. Take a warm shower A 10-minute warm shower about an hour before bed helps trigger your body's natural cooling process afterward, which makes falling asleep easier. The gentle warmth also relaxes tight muscles from your day. Try gentle stretching A few simple stretches can release physical tension. Focus on your neck, shoulders, and back - areas where we tend to hold stress. Just 5 minutes can make a big difference. Sip something soothing A small cup of caffeine-free tea like chamomile, lavender, or valerian can be a lovely ritual. Just drink it about an hour before bed so you're not waking up for bathroom trips. They are part of HABI's new range of 15 supplement gummies and taste just like blackcurrant wine gums, an all-time favourite sweet treat of mine. But the mouth-watering taste of these lactose free gummies is not worth the agonising pain of tossing and turning for hours on end. Nor is it worth the burning eyes the next day when I try to concentrate at my desk after getting just four hours of sleep, something that even a coffee can't fix. Joe Thorley-Mitchell, the Director of Boots Brand, said: 'I'm excited to finally be able to reveal HABI, which puts good habits over hype', but I can't say these gummies are a habit I'll be sticking to. I'm a fan of the bold, playful packaging, but for me, I think I'll stick to tuning into ASMR if I can't get a good night's sleep. 'Complete waste of money' And despite the glowing reviews, it turns out I'm not the only one who's struggled to fall asleep since trying these high-street gummies. Other Boots shoppers have been left equally as disappointed by the supplement and many have also claimed that it 'keeps you awake rather than helps you sleep'. One frustrated shopper angrily slammed: 'Does nothing at all, actually kept me waste of money.' Not only this, but a second agreed: 'Doesn't make you sleep faster at all, had no effect on my sleep.' Meanwhile, someone else claimed it had the 'opposite effect' of a deep sleep, just like I experienced, and chimed in: 'Instead of helping me sleep I am instead still wide awake and struggling to sleep four hours after taking one.' For £10, they're not exactly going to break the bank, but you bet I won't be buying these gummies again.

Dining across the divide: ‘She said ‘woke' had gone too far'
Occupation Early retired primary headteacher Voting record A diehard Lib Dem, but will vote tactically and loves Labour's Cat Smith, who she says is a great local MP Amuse bouche She's a governor of two independent schools in Kazakhstan, one in its capital, Astana, and one in Almaty Occupation Geography lecturer Voting record Used to vote Labour, but was put off by their stance on the Palestinian cause and their attitude to the left. Now votes Green Amuse bouche Once, she and some flatmates made their own version of Findus Crispy Pancakes from scratch Emma She seemed very nice, very smiley. We were having a bit of banter outside straightaway. Sue The first two minutes were awkward, but once we had looked at the menu we didn't shut up. Emma We both had surf and turf. She ordered it and I had to ask the waitress how to use the tools to eat the lobster. It was delicious. Sue I had chocolate mousse for dessert, and Emma had raspberry and elderflower sorbet. It was beautiful; the whole place was gorgeous. Emma The main bone of contention was that she said 'woke' had gone too far. It was originally an African-American term that means being aware of structural racism. So to suggest it's gone too far is to suggest anti-racism has gone too far, that social justice has, which it obviously hasn't. It must be very frustrating for African Americans, that their language gets co-opted. It's important to remember who it belongs to and not let it be neutralised. Sue If by 'woke' you're talking about protected characteristics, then obviously I respect those; they are absolutely essential. But I feel it stifles free speech, and those who are marginalised become even more so. Emma Sue has worked in schools in a lot of really deprived communities. Her concern is that when you get this intellectual censoriousness of liberal identity politics, the people the left should be serving are excluded. Sue If you over-police and don't look at context, you won't have any idea where people are coming from; whether they might be receptive to changing their view. You have to really work to understand what it's like when you haven't got a voice. Somebody who hasn't had a privileged, middle-class education, who lives a hand-to-mouth existence – their reality is going to be polar opposite. Sue I bet Emma is an amazing lecturer. She speaks with such passion about the young people she's working with. And I was talking with equal passion about the children I've worked with – lack of school readiness is really striking. We had children whose socialisation, speech, potty training, just general physical strength, weren't where they should have been. They hadn't got the pincer grip needed to write because they'd used screens and simply swiped. Emma We're both quite anti social media; neither of us use it. We both think young people need to spend more time outside, and we've seen negative impacts in the cohorts we teach. Nowadays, students come to university and it will be their first time pushed into independence, very high stakes. I think it affects their happiness. They seem very stressed, and you shouldn't be stressed when you're 19 – you should be living your best life. Emma I work in the environment department at the university and I live in an eco-community, so all my friends and colleagues were saying: 'You've got to say this about net zero, you've got to say that.' And then I met Sue and she said: 'I've got an environmental science degree, I'm not against net zero.' Sue She thought I was going to be all 'Drill, baby, drill'. She said: 'Shall I tell you about my eco house?' And I said: 'Yes, please.' Emma I almost felt like I doing a Blind Date. We had loads of very personal conversations, and kept saying: 'This doesn't go in the paper.' We ended up going very deep. Sue We had so much in common. She's the type of person I would want to be friends with. She's absolutely authentic and I trusted her. Additional reporting: Kitty Drake Emma and Sue ate at Quite Simply French in Lancaster.
