Boots shoppers hail £5 'miracle in a bottle' serum that 'makes skin so clear'

An affordable blemish serum from Boots has been receiving glowing reviews from beauty fans claiming it "reduces acne".

The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% serum, which is priced at £5 for a 30ml bottle, has impressed shoppers who say they saw results within just weeks of use.

What's more, the popular product is part of a line-up of Boots products being used in the latest Love Island villa - so we're predicting a sell-out.

Formulated to tackle the look of enlarged pores, uneven skin tone and fight blemishes, The Ordinary's £5 serum contains niacinamide, which regulates sebum production and blemish-causing bacteria for a clearer complexion.

The Ordinary is known for its super-effective yet budget-friendly skincare products. Its formulas contain high-performing ingredients that help improve complexion woes, offering a solution for all skin types.

With an average rating of 4.7 out of five on the Boots website, the Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% serum is one of The Ordinary's best-selling products, with shoppers saying it's "fantastic" for reducing acne.

One five-star reviewer raved: "I bought this two weeks ago following a series of break outs. In desperation, I decided to give this a try. This stuff has really helped reduce my acne. My skin is clearer and any spots that I do get heal a lot quicker."

A second review read: "I cant believe how good this is. It made my skin feel soft and bouncy within days and look gleaming and glass like. My skin looks so radiant without makeup and even better with.

"I just actually can't believe how good my skin looks. Just flabbergasted when I think of all the expensive stuff I've bought but they don't work like this does. Texture is thick and luxurious. Makes me think about buying other stuff by this brand. Truly brilliant value and works."

But a third shopper wasn't too happy with the product, writing: "If you use this product with more than three other products it starts to peel and rub off".

You can purchase The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% for £5 here.

Another great serum for breakouts is the Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant, which costs £10 for 30ml.

The fast-acting formula is designed to remove built-up dead skin cells and also fights blackheads.
