What our customers think
Julie – Great on age apots – 5/5 stars
“I have been using this for a year now, and I hadn’t realised just how much my dark spots had faded until I looked back through photos. I use once a day . Highly recommend”
Sashathefiercest – One of the best serums on the market – 5/5 stars
“I have tried so many serums from Dior and Clarins to Boots own and finding one that is packed with nutrients, cruelty free, good for my skin and actually works has been a mission. I buy a lot from Holland & Barrett on subscription and I can’t recall how I stumbled on this but I’m so glad I did! The reviews were good so I thought, yep, let’s try! I’m on bottle 4 now. I’ve never got to 4 bottles of any serum before! This is the one! My skin is soft, glowing, smooth and healthy. I’m 45 and had a couple of dark spots on my fair skin which are fading. Moreover, I’ve always been blessed with a youthful appearance but my partner is 13 years my junior and since using this almost everyone thinks I look younger than him! To have shaved off over 10 years and have great feeling skin, what is not to love about this amazing bottle of magic!”
