BEAUTY fans are racing to Boots to pick up a £7 face cream that banishes wrinkles in just five minutes.
NIVEA Q10 Anti-Wrinkle Power Wrinkle Filler Serum contains Bioxifill Peptides which penetrates the skin 10 layers deep to stimulate collagen production and fight wrinkles from the inside out.
It claims to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in just five minutes, and by 50% in four weeks.
The product has been dermatologically approved and says it fills and re-plumps wrinkles on the forehead, eye and lip area.
It is suitable for all skin types and is super easy to use.
To apply the product, simply use the applicator to place the serum on your face, before smoothing it in evenly with your fingertips.
The serum can be picked up in store and online at Boots for just £7 and is eligible for next day delivery.
Shoppers have been raving about the product on the Boots website.
One impressed customer remarked: "I was sceptical of the claims of visibly reducing lines in 5 minutes but as I’m forever hopeful of ridding myself of these 61 year old wrinkles and the product was on offer , I thought I would give it a try.
"Well it worked.
"I put it on my lip lines, forehead and around my eyes, put my normal moisturiser on the top then my foundation, looked in the mirror at all angles and in a different light and couldn’t believe how much better my skin looked.
"It did look like the lines had been filled.
"I’m looking forward to seeing more improvement with continual use."
Fabulous beauty editor Tara Ledden says:
SILICONE is often hailed as an ingredient to avoid in beauty products. Naysayers criticise the fact it can pill on skin and flake away like eraser strands or weigh hair down as reasons to look for products without the ingredient, but it’s one of the best, and quickest ways to instantly disguise texture, making both skin and hair look smoother, and thus healthier.
It sits on the surface of skin and works like polyfiler, plastering over the cracks and reducing the appearance of fine lines, pores and pitted scars for instant results. It’s often found in make-up products as it helps improve longevity and create a seamless finish, but in a world where we’re used to seeing our skin through filters and constantly looking for a quick fix, it’s increasingly being used in skincare to provide ‘instant’ results.
As well as being quick, it’s also a relatively cheap ingredient, so brands can make products that provide dramatic results without a hefty price tag, increasing the appeal of such wrinkle fillers when compared to more long term solutions like retinol, which can take weeks before results are visible and come with more potential side-effects if used incorrectly..
Unfortunately, results aren’t cumulative or long lasting, so you will have to continue to use the silicone based products every day to see results, and if you have particularly oily skin, you could find results wear away throughout the day.
A second person said: "Wow, I didn’t expect it to do much but immediately it filled one of my eleven lines in between my eyebrows.
"Love it when something works, I need to buy a couple more now so I don’t run out."
A third person exclaimed: "Love this product, it has really improved the lines on my face and improved the tautness of the skin on my face and the overall appearance."
A fourth noted: "I'm so pleased with this serum, I love it!
"It glides on so easily and is so effective.
