Product use information added: "Apply after cleansing in the morning. Using your fingertips, smooth over your face and neck in gentle circular motions, avoiding eyes and lips. Limit initial use to every other day for the first two weeks, and then gradually increase to daily usage."

The product currently has a rating of 4.4 out of five stars on the Superdrug website.

Daily Record reports one shopper said: "Have been using this for about two weeks. I knew I really needed to start concentrating on my skin as I felt tired looking and wrinkly, at 58 that is hardly surprising! But what did surprise me was how different my skin is looking and feeling!! The age spots are visibly lighter, my skin feels firmer and plumper and my wrinkles are minimising!! What a result!! Well worth a try as it is not hideously expensive either!!"

Another added: "I purchased this cream around 5 months ago, also the day cream and the results are amazing! Firmer skin with a beautiful glow. I’m 53 I have really good skin and don’t look my age, this cream really works and is a wonder cream for the few wrinkles I have. Very pleased with this product. Would recommend."

A third said: "I bought this in the back of other reviews but didn't expect all that much but oh my god! My skin is super soft, plumped up and fine lines barely noticeable. I've now got the whole range. Great value for money too."

A further happy shopper said: "I have to say after just 2 uses, this Serum has been brilliant! I have oily sensitive skin & this did not break me out, my skin was instantly softer, brighter, more plump and my pores looked reduced the next morning! I actually feel [a lot] younger. Really happy I tried this as it will be my new go to Serum & nothing has worked as well or as fast to date."
