Zara McDermott just shared the Medik8 serum she swears by for reducing pigmentation
Zara McDermott recently enjoyed an outing to Disneyland, during which she shared with fans what beauty products she used to achieve her understated glam look. Including skincare must-haves and a range of make-up products she swears by, Zara listed various brands and products she relies on—and one serum in particular is just the ticket for achieving younger-looking skin and banishing hyperpigmentation.
The serum in question is this "radiance boosting" Medik8's popular C-Tetra Serum, which claims to restore skin radiance in just a week. Recommended by dermatologists, it's made with a stabilised form of vitamin C (at 7%), which aims to visibly brighten uneven skin tone and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while still being gentle on sensitive skin.
Touted by beauty fans wishing to look "10 years younger", this dermatologist-approved serum promises quick results in as little as seven days. This radiance-boosting serum, dubbed "magic" by some, is scientifically backed and boasts impressive clinical results.
This antioxidant-rich serum, enriched with vitamin E, takes pride of place in Zara's beauty routine. It shields the skin from the ageing and damaging effects of free radicals, promoting a more youthful and healthy-looking complexion overall. It's hailed as the ideal choice for those new to vitamin C or those with sensitive skin.
Zara's go-to serum is lightweight and works to visibly brighten uneven skin tone and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation, while remaining gentle on sensitive skin.
One of Medik8's more wallet-friendly offerings is the full-size 30ml bottle of C-Tetra Serum, which costs £39. Those unsure about splashing out on a large bottle can choose the 8ml travel-size option, which costs £14.

It's not just Zara raving about this serum either, plenty of beauty buffs are singing the praises of this skincare holy grail. One 5-star reviewer beams: " Works magic! I was sceptical at first as didn't have a good experience using vitamin C serum but gave it a try after hearing my boss raving about C-Tetra. My skin is glowing without an oily finish, and it does not irritate my skin and I suffer from rosacea. Away to buy another bottle!"
A second buyer gushes: "After many years of trying so many different face products this is an absolute winner! Not too oily and leaves your face feeling pampered and nourished."
One shopper praised this Medik8 serum's age-defying effects, saying, "Most of my friends say I have great skin and look 10 years younger than my actual age."

Cheese recalled by supplier due to possible listeria contamination
Spar has urgently recalled a batch of goat's cheese in Northern Ireland over potential listeria contamination. A batch of goat's cheese sold in Spar stores across Northern Ireland has been urgently recalled amid concerns it could be contaminated with listeria. The affected product is Spar Chèvre Goats Cheese, supplied by Horgan's Delicatessen. It comes in 100g packs with a use by date of August 12. The Food Safety Authority (FSA) in Northern Ireland confirmed that the implicated batch was distributed to outlets in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Customers who have purchased the cheese are being advised not to consume it and to return it to the store for a full refund. Point of sale notices will be displayed in all affected shops, explaining the recall and providing instructions for consumers. The FSA said the move is precautionary but necessary, as listeria monocytogenes can cause serious illness in certain groups. 'Symptoms caused by Listeria monocytogenes can be similar to flu and include high temperature, muscle ache or pain, chills, feeling or being sick and diarrhoea. "However, in rare cases, the infection can be more severe, causing serious complications such as meningitis,' the agency said. Particular caution is urged for those more at risk, including people over the age of 65, pregnant women and their unborn babies, newborns under one month old, and individuals with weakened immune systems. Listeria infection, also known as listeriosis, is caused by bacteria that can spread through contaminated food. While some cases are mild, resulting in flu-like or gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea, others can be far more severe. The incubation period for listeria averages around three weeks, although it can range from three to 70 days, meaning symptoms may take time to appear after consumption of contaminated food. This latest alert comes shortly after other food safety concerns in Ireland. In recent weeks, some potted coriander plants and hummus products supplied by O'Hanlon Herbs were recalled from major supermarkets including Tesco, Dunnes Stores, Aldi, Lidl, Marks & Spencer and SuperValu. The FSA said the recalls highlight the importance of checking food packaging carefully before eating. 'If you have bought the above product, do not eat it. Instead, return the product to where it was bought for a full refund,' it advised. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Horgan's Delicatessen Supplies, which provides the Spar Chèvre Goats Cheese, has confirmed it is cooperating fully with the recall process. The company said it is working with all retailers involved to ensure affected products are removed from shelves promptly. Consumers who have already eaten the cheese and are concerned about their health are urged to seek medical advice, especially if they are in one of the higher-risk categories. Food safety officials have stressed that vigilance remains the best protection, particularly during the summer months when certain bacteria can thrive. While foodborne illnesses are relatively rare, the potential risks mean that recalls of this kind must be taken seriously. The FSA continues to monitor the situation and will issue updates if any further batches or products are implicated. For now, customers are reminded to stay alert and check the use by date on any Spar Chèvre Goats Cheese purchased in recent weeks.

Mark Wright admits to big 'disappointment' after recent holiday with Michelle and baby Palma
Mark Wright and wife Michelle Keegan recently took a trip to Majorca with their five-month-old daughter, Palma. Mark Wright has confessed he was left annoyed after his recent holiday with wife Michelle Keegan and their baby daughter, Palma. The TOWIE star, 38, took a trip to Majorca with the Our Girl star, also 38, and their five-month-old. The family are known to be big fans of the Spanish island, which is likely to be in the inspiration behind their daughter's name, and like to get away for a break whenever they can. However, Mark revealed he was left a little miffed during their latest trip as he explained what happened to Heart FM co-host, Olly Murs, the Mirror reports. Confessing that he thought the airport staff in Spain may have reacted to Palma's name, which is the capital of Majorca, Mark said: "I thought: 'Surely there would be little smile or something'." He continued: "Well, obviously Palma is spelled like Palma. Like Palma, the place in Majorca, the city where you land. "And I was always like, whenever you land in another country and you go through passport control, they're never happy. "They never look at them smiley, it's just 'gracias', and just walk off. And I was like, surely they're going to read Palma's passport and be like, a little smile or something. 'Michelle's like, well, make sure you give that, like, her Palma's passport first and like, hold it in front of them. I do, I gave it. He just looked down at his stamps and went on, 'you go'." Explaining that it was his daughter's first time in Palma, he added: "Palma went to Palma for the first ever time we did a picture in front of the Palma signs. So it was, it was a beautiful week. I ate and drank a little bit too. "You know, I also realised as well. When I used to go on holiday with my dad and he used to have a beer at like 12 o'clock in the afternoon, I used to think, how could you want that? Like, maybe at night time when you go to the bar. What was I doing… "Everyday midday beer. I was like, I'm literally turning into my dad." Speaking about Palma, he concluded: "She's like her mum. She sleeps a lot! So we get away with, you know, tantrums on the plane, because we just give her a nap time, then she sleeps the whole flight." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

M&S's £10 perfumes are back with two new scents being called ‘summer in a bottle'
Marks & Spencer's scents are somewhat hidden gems in the fragrance world, often compared to pricier perfumes, and the high street store's latest launches are perfect for summer Finding affordable – and high quality – perfumes isn't always an easy task, but beauty fans have something of an industry secret that ticks both of these boxes: M&S's own-brand fragrances. Marks & Spencer's Discover range of scents has been quietly impressing fragrance snobs for a few years now, going viral on social media and often selling out due to their excellent price (100ml bottles are £10) and lust-worthy scents that are regularly compared to pricier designer offerings. Now the high street hero has just dropped two new Discover eau de toilettes that are perfect for summer – and you're going to want to snap them up before they're gone. New to M&S stores and online are Garden Party Eau de Toilette and Summer Blooms Eau de Toilette, both priced at £10 for generous 100ml bottles. Inspired by sun-soaked evenings outside with loved ones, Garden Party describes how 'a shimmering blend of melon, red berry and marine notes opens the fragrance with a refreshing burst, gently settling into a heart of ylang ylang, lily, and intoxicating gardenia'. Garden Party's base notes are vanilla, meringue, patchouli and soft musk, evoking 'the golden glow of twilight and the sweetness of summer air'. Summer Blooms, meanwhile, is a warmer, more tropical concoction of dewberry, coconut and orange with heart notes of magnolia and jasmine. The base is one of creamy coconut, musk and patchouli, which M&S says, creates a 'lingering, sun-kissed finish' that's 'summer, bottled'. There's something for all fragrance tastes to be found in the M&S beauty aisles though, from Discover's trending Sweet Pistachio to cosy Spiced Wood – and all £10. After another fragrance bargain? Sol de Janeiro has launched what's being touted as its 'best yet' perfume, which perfume lovers are saying is the ideal scent for this week's heatwave – and there's a savvy way to snap it up for less. The latest fragrance, Sundays in Rio, usually priced at £24, is a fresh addition to the popular brand's range. The fragrance opens with notes of pink pepper, pear and ambrette absolute, then unfolds into a heart of cosy vanilla, orris concrete (which imparts violet-like notes) and 'Champaca pure jungle essence' – a powdery white floral with rich honeyed undertones. Its base is built on amber musk and woody upcycled orcanox. However, TopCashback members can bag the new aroma at a wallet-friendly £8 after cashback for newcomers to Sephora, and £8.60 after cashback for existing Sephora shoppers.
