Despite only launching in April, it's already racked up hundreds of 5* reviews — with customers appearing genuinely shocked at just how much of an impact it's already had on their skin.
'I only started using it a week ago, but this magic potion has given me a brighter, even toned, youthful, and glowing look,' writes one happy customer. 'Three people have already commented on how healthy I look. Definitely add it to your basket!' More Trending
In fact, the only real complaints we've seen are predominantly about the bottle's pump — which some seem to say can be a little faulty at times. But for lit-from-within skin for £20, we'll put up with slightly finicky packaging.

Perrie Edwards took extreme lengths in desperate bid to manage panic attacks
Little Mix's Perrie Edwards has opened up about seeking support from therapists to help deal with her mental health, after candidly speaking about panick attacks and anxiety Singer-songwriter Perrie Edwards has opened up about seeking support from therapists to help her deal with panic attacks. The Little Mix member spoke about her experience amid the news that she has taken on a new role. Perrie, 31, has spoken candidly about experiencing anxiety and panic attacks, with her having raised awareness around mental health over the years. The BRIT Award winner has also previously discussed her experience with agoraphobia. The X Factor winner has previously revealed that she "never" on her own due to her fear of having a fatal panic attack. She's shared that her symptoms of panic attacks include eyesight issues and eventually difficulty breathing. She has now spoken further about her experience, including sharing her thoughts on therapy. Perrie's latest comments come amid the news that that she is now a celebrity ambassador for the mental health charity Mind. Whilst speaking to Metro over the news, Perrie gave an update on her own mental health. She told the outlet that she is "trying to be at peace" with her anxiety and its physical symptoms, rather than fearing potential panic attacks. She added that she has "tried everything," sharing that she has tried "all different kinds" of therapy. Perrie then gave an insight into some of her experiences with therapists, including revealing that she has taken a therapist to work with her. The singer shared with the outlet that therapists have tried to coach her on strategies for dealing with panic attacks in the past. She however suggested that "everything goes out the window" when she actually experiences one. Perrie shared: "Last year, maybe in September, I started to take my therapist to work with me, which I know is a very privileged situation." She added in the interview that she's aware that many people don't even have a therapist. She said that she wanted to "make the most of it" though. Perrie explained that she decided to take her therapist to work with her each day and get them to coach her through any panic attack "there and then" in the moment itself. Sharing her thoughts on the decision, Perrie told the outlet in the interview, which was published earlier today: "It's the best thing I've ever done." She went on to add that she now wishes that she had done it sooner. Perrie's comments come just weeks after she was seen discussing her experience with panic attacks on the Alison Hammond's Big Weekend. She was the guest for the first episode of the BBC show, which was released last month. Speaking to host Alison Hammond, she said: "I've developed panic disorder, so it's the fear of having a panic attack." She explained that she developed that fear after she started suffering from "severe" panic attacks a few years ago. Perrie shared: "So I was like if I'm on my own and I have a panic attack I might die and nobody will be here to help." Providing an insight into the impact that has on her life, she went on to say: "So that's why I'm never on my own." Later in the episode, she told Alison that her first panic attack occurred after she had an over-the-counter caffeine shot during a trip to Las Vegas with her bandmates from Little Mix some years ago. Perrie said: "I honestly thought I was having a heart attack from whatever was in [it]." She recalled "pacing" around her room and having panic attacks, sharing that she ended up in hospital. Perrie added: "After that incident I just kept having them like again and again." She suggested that the experience had been a "trigger" and said her anxiety was then "through the roof". Asked about the signs of a panic attack, she said: "My arms go limp. My legs go limp. And then my eyesight starts to go. And then I can't see anything. And then my heart starts racing and then I just can't breathe. And I just feel like I'm gonna die so I start freaking out."

What I Spent: The therapy you actually get for £100, £50 or free on the NHS
While there are options available through the NHS, many people in the UK will have to pay out of pocket for talking therapy. According to services marketplace Bark, this will set you back an average of £60 per session. But it all depends on the type of therapy you have, where you're based, and the provider you go for — and to make it extra ambiguous, many don't tell you their rates until you get in touch. Then there's weighing up the cost for each visit versus the long-term outlay. For example, while certain therapeutic methods may seem more expensive, you may only need a limited number of sessions, so it could work out cheaper overall compared to ongoing counselling. It's important to do your research beforehand, as clinical psychologist Marianne Trent explains: 'I'm aware of some people (even unqualified people) charging £300 plus per session and coaching sessions can be astronomical too!' The titles therapist, counsellor, psychologist and psychotherapist are not protected in the UK, meaning anyone can legally describe themselves as such without specific qualifications. However, organisations like the British Psychological Society do register certain professionals – like clinical psychologists and chartered psychologists – while the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the UKCP (United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy) provide voluntary regulation and ethical guidelines for therapists. When choosing a therapist, it can give you peace of mind to check if they're registered with one of these professional bodies – and always make sure to check their training, experience, and adherence to ethical frameworks. The fact is though, professional support can be invaluable, and only you can decide whether the results are worth the investment. So if you're considering it, these three Metro readers' experiences can give you a better idea of what you can expect to spend. Dina Grishin, 39, is a career coach and coaching psychologist based in London, spending £100 on each 50-minute session she has with an EMDR therapist trained in the Polyvagal approach. 'This is a combination I've been looking high and low for so I'm happy I found her, even though this is the most I've ever spent on a therapist,' Dina tells Metro. 'I've been seeing her nearly weekly for a few months now (we're on session 10) but it's not therapy that will last years so knowing there's an end date this year – perhaps within a couple of months – also helps justify the cost.' She also visits an EFT therapist once every three to eight weeks ('on a 'when needed' basis after working more intensely at the beginning') paying £90 for each 90-minute session. And prior to that, she paid £60 per session for CBT and £50 for talking therapy. EMDR Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing – is a psychological therapy that can help people who are affected by traumatic memories. According to the NHS, EMDR – which is recommended by NICE – for the treatment of PTSD – uses one of two ways to process the memory: tapping from side to side and moving your eyes from side to side. Polyvagal-informed EMDR would see these methods used alongside the outlook that our autonomic nervous system (ANS) can shape our responses to trauma. EFT 'Emotional Freedom Technique uses the art of tapping on acupuncture pressure points to release negative emotions,' explains the Greater Manchester Mental Health Foundation website. 'It has proved effective in reducing anxiety and improving overall wellbeing. EFT is often described as 'like acupuncture without the pins'.' CBT Cognitive behavioural therapy involves working with a therapist to help you change your thoughts and behaviour. Available through the NHS or privately, it's suitable for a range of different mental health conditions, and typically is offered in courses 5 to 15 sessions. Personal stylist Abbey Booth, 49, has been visiting a CPD certified hypnotherapy and anxiety coach, Jo – who charges £75 for 60 minutes – around once or twice a month for the last eight months. A spate of menopause-related anxiety and panic attacks led the Herts-based mum to seek out regular support, but she also books additional sessions when things are especially difficult, to help give her the tools to cope. In fact, she's so impressed with her 'brilliant' therapist, she paid for her son to see Jo when he was dealing with exam stress. Alongside working with Jo, Abbey recently began having ADHD coaching at a price of £150 for a block of three 45-minute sessions too. She tells Metro: 'During busy times I can get inertia/blocks or hyper focus, so It's really helped with coping strategies when the noise gets too much and I need time away to recalibrate and refocus. 'These sessions are run online and I've been having them for a few months. There's also contact in between via email and voice notes – brief check-ins which I find very useful.' Hypnotherapy This type of therapy uses hypnosis to try to treat conditions or change habits. It can help people work through a range of issues, but the NHS recommends avoiding it 'if you have psychosis or certain types of personality disorder, as it could make your condition worse.' Anxiety coaching 'An anxiety coach is someone who guides people out of anxiety using a structured, effective approach,' says the STILL Method website. It adds that while this coaching technique is 'not therapy', many find it to be 'therapeutic.' ADHD coaching Like anxiety coaching, this is more about helping people with ADHD to develop their own strategies and skills to manage their daily lives, work, and relationships. Coaches provide guidance in areas like executive functioning, organisation, and time management, either through set sessions or 'when needed' advice. Johnny Seifert, 32, from London, previously underwent seven sessions of private counselling at £50 per 55-minute appointment, but found he would often end up 'talking almost for the sake of talking, without being given any coping mechanisms to help actually make a difference.' After asking his GP for help with his anxiety, the host of mental health podcast Secure the Insecure was referred for an assessment with the NHS. Three months later, he had a phone consultation, and two weeks after this, was offered eight weekly group therapy sessions over Zoom. However, Johnny was unable to attend these lunchtime calls due to work commitments and was looking for something 'more one on one', so requested an alternative option. More Trending Around a month later, he was then offered a six-week programme of Self Guided Help. This involved Johnny working through a booklet and going through his behaviours with a Trainee Psychological Trainee Practitioner in 30-minute weekly phone sessions. 'Each week, 24 hours before the session, I am sent a questionnaire that has a risk assessment and assesses my anxiety levels,' he tells Metro. Towards the start, the course specifically focused on 'validating' what Johnny was feeling. Now on session four, he's progressed to learning tools 'such as Worrying Time Management to manage the time you actually worry' – which he says has been 'really useful'. View More » 'As it's on the NHS, I do sometimes feel that I am just a number,' says Johnny. 'It's very much about the present week rather than looking into past traumas and triggers of where the worrying (in my case) has come from, understanding those root causes so that the behaviours do not happen again in the future.'
