Product Description
In one chamber, there is a collagen Peptide Booster to rebuild firmness and smooth out wrinkles, while the other boasts powerhouse vitamins B3 and C to reignite radiance and even out skin tone.
Said to be suitable for all skin types, even sensitive, this serum has been lauded for its "non greasy" texture that doesn't leave any residue on the skin or cause that dreaded 'pilling' when combined with other skincare products.
While the L'Oreal Serum is a one of a kind, there are similar products that combine a few skincare steps such as the Garnier Vitamin C Brightening Serum Cream (50ml), currently priced at £10.99 for Superdrug shoppers.
Meanwhile, another anti-ageing powerhouse worth a mention is Boots' No7 Future Renew Serum, £47.95 for 50ml, as it uses the world's first peptide technology to "reverse" the signs of damage and ageing.

Beauty deal of the week
YSL Black Opium remains an iconic perfume - and we know where to bag the newest edition for its cheapest price.
The YSL BLack Opium Le Parfum offers a more vanilla-heavy fragrance that has been hailed as "intoxicating" in reviews, with a 50ml now half-price at Boots after being dropped from £115 to £57.50.
Massive saving aside, it's the cheapest it can be bought for at the moment, as rival retailers Superdrug, Lookfantastic and The Perfume Shop still stock it at full-price.
This interpretation of the iconic perfume was only launched in 2022, with its original floral gourmand fragrance still offering its famed notes that include pear accord, green mandarin, orange flower petals, jasmine sambac and cinnamon.
However, the iconic coffee accord has been twisted with four different, yet still complimentary, notes of vanilla, which is said to be its most important ingredient, to create an "unexpected smoothness, with uncompromising intensity."
Meanwhile, the unique glossy bottle that has been crafted from a precious black stone, with its dazzling glitter emblem at the heart, eludes to the luxuriousness of the fragrance contained within.
As for the YSL Black Opium Le Parfum, Boots shoppers wanting to take advantage of the half-price discount will be glad to hear it has amassed a 4.7 rating from thousands of customers who say it "lasts all day" and "literally turns heads" when it is worn.
One five-star review read: "I love the fragrance. I used a lot the first time, not realising how intense it was. It lasts all day and continues to smell great. I literally turn heads when I wear it."
Don't miss Boots' half-price discount on the YSL Black Opium Le Parfum (50ml) that is now £57.50, down from £115.
A second satisfied customer said: "This serum is a game-changer! It leaves my skin feeling hydrated, smoother, and visibly radiant. A luxurious treat that's worth every drop."
The design of the bottle has been met with some criticism, as one four-star review suggested: "It really makes my skin feel refreshed. The only downside is you don't have any idea how much is left inside the bottle, so can't judge when to buy a replacement bottle."
Meanwhile, another impressed customer praised: "This is the best serum I have used so far. Using it for a week now, really lovely, making my skin look glowing so far. Definitely buy again."

Deadly chikungunya virus warning for Brit tourists as health experts 'worried' over surge in cases
The UKHSA has warned of record chikungunya cases in Brits returning from abroad. Find out where outbreaks are, how to protect yourself, and what vaccines are available. British holidaymakers are being urged to take extra precautions abroad after the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) reported a sharp rise in a dangerous mosquito-borne disease. New figures show that between January and June 2025, 73 cases of travel-associated chikungunya were recorded in England - almost three times the number in the same period last year (27 cases) and the highest on record for that timeframe. Most patients had recently returned from Sri Lanka, India or Mauritius, where outbreaks are currently under way. All cases were in England, with the majority reported in London. While the mosquitoes that spread chikungunya are not present in the UK - meaning there is no risk of local transmission - health officials say the rise is a clear warning to travellers. What is chikungunya? Chikungunya is a viral infection spread by two species of mosquito found mainly in tropical and subtropical climates. The illness usually begins with a sudden fever, often accompanied by severe joint pain. Other symptoms can include headaches, muscle aches, skin rashes and sensitivity to light. Most people recover in one to two weeks, but the joint pain can persist for months or even years. Up to 12 percent of patients still have symptoms three years later. Serious complications are rare, but in very young children, the elderly, or people with other medical conditions, the disease can be fatal. Get health warnings straight to your WhatsApp! As the world grapples with the threats of Covid-19, mpox and more, the Mirror has launched its very own Health & Wellbeing WhatsApp community where you'll get health warnings and news straight to your phone. We'll send you the latest breaking updates and exclusives all directly to your phone. Users must download or already have WhatsApp on their phones to join in.

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. 'Before you travel, check the Travel Health Pro Website for the latest advice on your destination. A chikungunya vaccine may also be considered for those travelling to higher-risk regions.' Vaccines Two chikungunya vaccines were recently approved for use in the UK. IXCHIQ® – for adults aged 18 to 59. Vimkunya® – for individuals aged 12 and over. Both are available privately through travel clinics after an assessment by a healthcare professional. Other diseases flagged by UKHSA The same UKHSA report also revealed three cases of Oropouche virus - the first ever recorded in the UK. All were linked to travel in Brazil, where there is an ongoing outbreak. Unlike chikungunya, Oropouche virus is mainly spread by midge bites, and symptoms include high fever, chills, headaches, joint pain and muscle aches. Pregnant travellers are advised to take particular care due to concerns about infection during pregnancy. There were also notable shifts in other travel-related illnesses in the first half of 2025: Cholera: Eight cases, compared with just one in 2024. Most involved travel to India and Ethiopia, where outbreaks are ongoing. Dengue fever: 161 cases, down 67% from 490 last year. Zika virus: Four cases, down from nine in 2024. Meningococcal serogroup W (MenW): Linked to travel for Hajj and Umrah in Saudi Arabia. Pilgrims are reminded they must have the MenACWY vaccine before travel. Prevention Health experts stress that preparation is key. Travellers should visit the Travel Health Pro website - supported by UKHSA - at least four to six weeks before departure. The site offers up-to-date information on health risks for destinations worldwide, along with advice on vaccines, insect bite prevention, and safe food and water consumption. When it comes to chikungunya specifically, protection against mosquito bites is vital: Apply insect repellent regularly, especially those containing DEET. Wear long-sleeved tops and trousers to cover exposed skin. Sleep under insecticide-treated nets in risk areas. Consider vaccination if visiting outbreak hotspots.

Six Oropouche symptoms easily mistaken for flu after deadly virus first found in UK
UKHSA confirms first UK cases of Oropouche virus in travellers from Brazil. With flu-like symptoms, experts warn holidaymakers to know the signs and take precautions British travellers are being urged to stay vigilant after the UK recorded its first-ever cases of Oropouche virus (OROV), a mosquito and midge-borne infection that can easily be mistaken for the flu. According to the latest UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) report, three cases of Oropouche were identified in travellers returning from Brazil between January and June 2025. While relatively rare, the virus has been spreading across parts of South and Central America and the Caribbean, with Brazil reporting the largest outbreaks. The infection typically causes high fever, chills, headache, joint pain, and muscle aches - symptoms that closely resemble common viral illnesses, making it easy to misdiagnose. It comes after the NHS warns mouth symptom could be life-shortening disease. READ MORE: Urgent warning issued as dogs and foxes die after eating 'poison' in Devon park Dr Philip Veal, Consultant in Public Health at UKHSA, stressed the importance of taking travel precautions. 'If a person becomes unwell with these symptoms following travel to affected areas, they should seek urgent medical advice,' he said. Pregnant travellers, in particular, are advised to be cautious due to recent concerns about Oropouche virus infection during pregnancy.

The rise in Oropouche cases comes alongside other travel-related infections that UKHSA has been tracking. Chikungunya - a mosquito-borne virus causing sudden fever and debilitating joint pain - has seen a sharp increase, with 73 cases reported in England in the first half of 2025. Most affected travellers had returned from Sri Lanka, India, and Mauritius, where outbreaks continue. Although the UK's climate prevents local mosquitoes from transmitting the disease, severe symptoms can linger for months, particularly joint pain, which affects up to 12 percent of patients even three years after infection. For those planning trips to higher-risk regions, two chikungunya vaccines are now available in the UK: IXCHIQ® for adults aged 18 to 59 and Vimkunya® for individuals 12 and older. UKHSA recommended consulting a travel clinic to discuss suitability before travelling. The Travel-associated Infections report also highlights a worrying increase in cholera cases, rising from one case in 2024 to eight in the first half of 2025, largely linked to travel to India and Ethiopia. Dengue and Zika virus cases, by contrast, have fallen, with 161 dengue cases and just four Zika cases reported across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland during the same period. Meningococcal serogroup W (MenW) disease has also been noted among UK travellers, particularly those visiting Saudi Arabia for Umrah and Hajj. The potentially deadly infection can leave survivors with severe lifelong health complications, and vaccination with MenACWY is strongly advised for pilgrims and their close contacts. UKHSA recommends that travellers consult the Travel Health Pro website at least four to six weeks before departure. The site provides comprehensive advice on health risks worldwide, helping travellers take preventive measures such as vaccinations, mosquito bite avoidance, and timely medical guidance if symptoms appear.

Deadly Oropouche virus found in UK for first time after sweeping through Europe
The latest statistics, released today by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), disclose three cases of Oropouche virus among travellers returning to the UK from Brazil A mysterious "sloth virus" has been detected in the UK for the first time after spreading across Europe. The latest statistics, released today by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), revealed three cases of Oropouche virus among travellers returning to the UK. It's the first time the Oropouche virus has been found in the UK, with all instances linked to journeys to Brazil. Latest figures from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) also show a surge in travel-related chikungunya infections throughout England. Between January and June 2025, 73 cases were recorded - a sharp rise from the 27 cases during the same timeframe in 2024, marking the highest tally ever documented for this period. It comes after Oropouche quietly spread across the continent, and could be more dangerous than first feared. Chikungunya is a mosquito-transmitted disease connected to international travel, presenting symptoms such as sudden fever typically coupled with joint discomfort. Of the 73 chikungunya cases, the majority reported travel to Sri Lanka, India and Mauritius, linked with ongoing local outbreaks in countries in the Indian Ocean region. All cases were reported in England, with the majority in London. 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.

Oropouche virus (OROV) is spread predominantly by midge bites rather than mosquito bites. The primary type of midge responsible for the outbreak in the Americas is not seen in the UK and Europe. If a person becomes unwell with symptoms such as high fever, chills, headache, joint pain and muscle aches following travel to affected areas, they should seek urgent medical advice. How does the virus spread? There has been a rise in Oropouche virus infections globally since 2024, especially in multiple countries in South America, Central America and the Caribbean, with Brazil reporting the largest outbreaks. Due to the increase in cases, and some recent concerns regarding Oropouche virus infection during pregnancy, pregnant travellers should take particular care. What are the symptoms of Oropouche? Symptoms include a sudden onset of fever usually accompanied by joint pain. While most people recover fully within 1 to 2 weeks, the joint pain can persist for months or even years in some cases, with up to 12% of patients still experiencing discomfort 3 years after infection. Serious complications are uncommon, but very rarely the disease can be fatal, particularly in the very young, older individuals and those with other underlying illnesses.
