Skincare lovers snap up L'Oréal serum that's 'as good as Estée Lauder' for £10
Boots £10 Tuesday is back, and our top pick is this anti-ageing skincare essential from L'Oréal We all love a beauty bargain, and this one's a real treat on the skin and the purse. Usually priced at £35, the L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect Cell Renew Midnight Serum has been slashed to £10 as part of Boots' £10 Tuesday deal. That's a saving of more than 66% – and skincare lovers are raving about it. Some have even swapped out their £65 Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair for this purse-friendly alternative. So, what's all the fuss about? This clever little serum has been formulated to support the skin's natural cell renewal process, helping you wake up looking brighter, fresher, and a little bit more like you've had eight hours' sleep (even if you haven't). With a non-sticky finish and a silky texture, it not only hydrates deeply but also helps defend your skin against daily environmental aggressors. L'Oréal promises skin that looks 'younger, brighter and more luminous' after just one week of use. And after four? Fine lines appear reduced, skin feels firmer and your whole complexion should look healthy and well-rested. It's not just the marketing talking, either. The serum has scored a glowing 4.7-star rating online, with heaps of glowing reviews from happy shoppers who have made the switch from far pricier serum options. One fan wrote: "Bought this to try instead of my usual Estée Lauder ANR and I wasn't disappointed. My skin is soft, smooth and my fine lines are less noticeable. Would recommend and will definitely repurchase." Another added: "This is the jewel in L'Oréal's crown. It's as good as Estée Lauder's Night Repair and way, way cheaper. In just a few days I noticed a vast improvement in my skin and its texture. It won't erase wrinkles, but it will make your skin look and feel so much better." Others have been similarly impressed: "Absolutely love this serum – so good for the skin and amazing results. Took away frown lines on my forehead!" And perhaps the most enthusiastic review of all: "The best serum I've ever used. Makes me look younger and even smooths out my wrinkles. A must-buy." Now, it's not all 5-star praise. A few shoppers have pointed out issues with the pipette-style applicator, saying it can be fiddly to get the product out. One reviewer said: "The serum is lovely and makes my skin feel great, but L'Oréal need to sort out the pipette. It's a nightmare to use!" So yes – incredible formula, slightly annoying packaging. But for £10? We can probably live with that. At the time of writing, Boots is the cheapest place to snap it up, although Amazon has it on sale for £15.39 if you miss the Tuesday deal. Looking for other budget-friendly swaps? The Revolution Pro Miracle Night Rescue Serum Advanced Complex (£8.40 at LookFantastic) is another alternative frequently name-checked by savvy skincare shoppers.

GK Barry urges women to book a smear test after doctors found early signs of HPV
GK Barry has urged women not to avoid their smear tests as she opened up about her own test, where doctors found the early signs of human papillomavirus (HPV) and were able to act quickly I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here star GK Barry spoke on Loose Women about the importance of getting a smear test and how the often-avoided test can save your life. The influencer said that thanks to her recent cervical screening test, doctors were able to find early signs of an STI called human papillomavirus (HPV). The 25-year-old said that doctors found "bad cells" during her screening. GK, whose real name is Grace, then made a return visit for a colposcopy - a procedure to treat abnormal cells. On June 15, the TikTok creator said: "When my smear test came up, I went to go and get it, and thank god I did because, when I went I tested positive for HPV. I just had some bad cells so I had to then go and get a colposcopy... and get it burnt off". She explained that she has check ups "so regularly" to "keep an eye on them," referring to the "bad cells" infected with HPV. The social media influencer spoke further about how she thinks people don't get smear tests due to embarrassment or out of fear. Speaking passionately on the topic, Grace said: "My thing is a lot of people my age... they just think it will be alright. They don't want to know what the answer is. I think it's so important to get your smear test done because 90% of the time nothing's wrong". According to Nuffield Health, one in 20 smear test "note abnormal cell changes and most of these changes won't lead to cervical cancer. But in some cases the abnormal cells will need to be removed so they can't become cancerous". She opened up in her advocacy, adding: "I'm the first one out of a lot of my friends and family to have to go back and get something done like a colposcopy, but I'd rather be told I've got something early and be able to live than, because I was too scared of catching something or the answer, catch something late and end up dying". Grace 's experience has reached over 2.2 million views on TikTok alone with many fans of the show commenting a mix of support and their own uncomfortable experiences. Unintentionally, the comment section became a forum for young and older women alike to help work past the narrative that avoiding the pain is worth the risk. One user wrote: "I won't go because I refuse to be put in pain, and yes, it is painful. When they can find less traumatising ways, I'll go". In a collective effort to convince what would be a stranger, one of 198 replies to the comment alone." Another comment read: "I don't trust doctors either but after watching my mum go through her cancer battle (bowel) - still chemo/ radiotherapy- the effects cancer has on your body, I would take a smear everyday over that. I've had smears that hurt and [were] uncomfortable and ones that were fine but it was nothing compared to seeing what someone with cancer goes through".# What is HPV and does it cause cancer? According to Cancer Research UK, HPV is a common virus that infects the skin and cells lining the inside of the body. It usually has no symptoms and for most people, will be cleared from the body without causing any problems. It's contracted through close skin-to-skin contact, typically during sexual activity, including vaginal, anal, or oral sex. There are different types of HPV which range from low to high risk. High risk HPV types can cause cancer if they stay in the body for a long time. Cervical cancer is often linked to HPV as it causes nearly all cases. You can get a HPV vaccination to help prevent cancer and protect against HPV. Cancer Research state that in the UK all children aged 11-13 in the UK can get the HPV vaccine. It's also available for free to people up to the age of 25 who missed their vaccine when they were offered it, men who have sex with men (up to the age of 45), and some transgender people (up to the age of 45). Safe sex, cervical screenings and stopping smoking can also reduce your risk of HPV. How to book a smear test The NHS website states that an invitation for a smear test - or cervical screening - will be sent via the NHS App, text or letter when it's time to book for you to book an appointment once your 25th birthday has passed, and then every three years. Within the invitation, you will receive instructions on where and how to book, though most screenings are done by female nurses and doctors at your GP surgery, says the NHS website. If you have missed your last screening, there is no need to wait for an invitation. To book an appointment, the NHS advise you call your GP or arrange a screening online. There is also the option of booking at your local sexual health clinic or walk-in centre, however this is only available in some parts of England so it's important to check. Help us improve our content by completing the survey below. We'd love to hear from you! When should you book a smear test? Smear tests are best to have done when you are not experiencing your menstrual period so try to avoid the two days before and after you're expected to bleed, advises the NHS. If you do not experience a period then you can book at any time. The NHS also suggest you book after you have finished any treatments if you have unusual vaginal discharge or a pelvic infection. Note that before being tested, you should avoid the use of any vaginal medicines, lubricants or creams for at least two days before your screening as they can affect the results.

Boots shoppers say 'miracle' £10 serum is better than luxury brand worth £65
Beauty fans will need to act fast, as the retailer's flash sale is only available until midnight. If there's one anti-ageing serum that has earned legendary status, it's Estée Lauder's Advanced Night Repair. However, at £65 for a small 30ml bottle, we're always on the hunt for an alternative. Fortunately, many beauty buffs have praised the L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect Cell Renew Midnight Serum as similar to the luxury brand, with some going as far as to say it offers "better" results. Initially worth just £35 for the same-size 30ml bottle, it's even cheaper after being included in Boots' £10 Tuesday deals today. So until midnight tonight, shoppers can save a staggering £25 off its own RRP, while also being £55 cheaper than Estée Lauder. However, the high street health and beauty chain's online exclusive deal is only available today, June 17, so skincare buffs only have a few hours before it goes back to full-price. L'Oréal's Midnight Serum is a powerful antioxidant recovery complex that works to support the skin's natural cell repair cycle, leading to a reduction in wrinkles, while also boosting firmness and radiance. L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect Cell Renew Midnight Serum, 30ml £35 £10 Boots Buy here Product Description Infused with hyaluronic acid, antioxidants from bitter orange and vitamin E, it claims to boast a "non sticky" and "melting" formula that protects against free radicals during the day, while boasting cell turnover during sleep to reveal younger-looking skin in the morning. Said to be suitable for all skin tones and types, results indicate that, in just one week, skin appears younger, brighter and more luminous, while a further four weeks highlight a reduction in wrinkles and a more radiant complexion. Since Boots' £10 deal on the Midnight Serum is only available for one day, another affordable 'dupe' available on the high street is the Revolution Pro Miracle Night Rescue Serum Advanced Complex (30ml) that costs just £12. Alternatively, the high street firm's own No7 Future Renew Night Serum, which is a new addition, might pose a more suitable alternative, and it only costs £39.95 for a 25ml. However, the L'Oreal Paris Serum remains a firm favourite with many shoppers, as it has earned a 4.7 rating from Boots shoppers who alone have hailed it as a "miracle in a bottle" that has made their wrinkles "go away." One five-star review read: "Love this serum, I've been using Estée lauder's night repair but honestly I think this one is better. My skin definitely feels more moisturised and as someone with very dry skin it's a must! Would definitely recommend!" A second Estee Lauder fan wrote: "Working well for me, [and I usually] use the Estee Lauder which is 3 times the price. Since I switched, I haven't noticed any difference, so it's as good as the expensive brand." Someone else delighted with the results said: "It's the best serum. I have never used a serum this good, it makes me look younger and it also makes my wrinkles go away. MUST BUY!" Beauty deal of the week Looking for last minute gift inspiration for dad ahead of Sunday, June 15. Then don't fret, as we have you covered, as no-one can go wrong with a new bottle of cologne, and we have spotted Versace's The Dreamer for him Eau de Toilette for 67 percent less at Superdrug. Hailed for being "underrated" and "truly unique", a large 100ml bottle of this fragrance has been dropped from £74 to £24, allowing you to make a huge saving of £50 and get in a thoughtful gift. Described as "warm" and "fresh", Versace's Dreamer is an aromatic fragrance that, while belonging to the cologne family, is said to boast a variety of notes that make it suitable for both men and women. The scent opens on vibrant notes of juniper, tarragon, and artemisia, before blending into heart notes of iris, lily and flax flowers to add a touch of softness. It then ends on a comforting base of tobacco blossom and amber, offering a smoky, luxurious finish. The transparent, clear fragrance itself is housed in an opulent glass bottle that has been embossed with the iconic medusa logo, representing the luxury aesthetic of the iconic fashion house. Versace's Dreamer EDT has managed to earn glowing reviews and a 4.6 rating from shoppers, with one saying: "Truly unique and dreamy fragrance. It's a great fragrance but it's underrated. Guys you have to try this one, it's great for all year round." And someone else wrote: "Not to be overlooked. This is a lesser known Versace men's fragrance but oh my it is gorgeous ! Hubby loved it and amazing value for money." Versace's The Dreamer For Him Eau de Toilette (100ml) can be bought for 67 percent less at Superdrug now. Not everyone has been a fan of the texture, as one disappointed customer added: "Unfortunately this wasn't right for me, I applied it a few times but the texture/feel didn't feel right for me and my skin didn't feel/look too different in the morning, also the texture felt a little sticky which I didn't like." Although, another fan praised: "What a miracle serum! Great product, comforting texture. I'm in my 50s and my skin needs something special. "After a few nights, my face looks younger, fine wrinkles are smoothed, the texture of the skin is clearly better. I am really delighted with the quality and price." The L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect Cell Renew Midnight Serum (30ml) is available in Boots' £10 Tuesday deals exclusively online for one day only.
