One Space NK shopper wrote: “I’ve only been using the Fill Repair Eye Cream for a couple of weeks, but I can already see a difference. My under-eyes look more awake and less sunken, and the fine lines are definitely softer. It has a lightweight, silky texture that absorbs quickly and layers well with other products. I love the cooling feel when I apply it – it’s super refreshing in the morning.
“The hyaluronic acid really plumps up the skin, and I’ve noticed less puffiness and darkness overall. It honestly feels like a mini filler effect without the needles!”

OK’s beauty editor Laura says: “From the get-go, the serum impressed me with its elegant formulation. It absorbed swiftly without leaving a greasy residue, played nicely with my other skincare essentials, and stayed put under my make-up without any pilling or sliding.
“My skin felt instantly smoother after using this, and when I checked back in 10 minutes later, I did see a change; not a massive one, and lines weren’t instantly gone, but overall my skin looked a bit fresher, healthier and stronger. It won’t take the place of Botox for me (no topical skincare product can freeze muscles), but it might just keep me feeling a bit better about my skin until I get my top-up.

Laura says: “P-Tiox is such a dreamy formula: it’s lightweight and runny yet rich, it absorbs instantly yet feels super hydrating (so hydrating that I’ve been skipping moisturiser and going straight to SPF in the mornings), and it layers perfectly with all my other skincare and make-up.
“I’ve only been using this for a week so far but the immediate and short-term results are so impressive that I know I’m already going to be gutted when it runs out. It makes my skin look instantly fresher, plumper and brighter – we’re talking ‘glass skin’ vibes here. It’s a real ‘one-and-done’ anti-ageing serum – you can read my fill review here.”
RoC Derm Correxion Fill + Treat Serum

Containing retinol, collagen and four types of hyaluronic acid, this has had shoppers reporting impressive results on wrinkles – especially around the eyes and mouth – in as little as four days.

Will continue to use it. Highly recommended. Will look into buying what other skin products are available in this brand. 5 stars!”
No7 Laboratories Line Correcting Booster Serum

OK’s head of beauty Zoe says: “I’m in my thirties so my wrinkles aren’t exactly stubborn, but I do have one on my forehead that really bothers me. I’ve been using this serum for the past two weeks to try to smooth it out, and I’m pleased to report promising results. While the line is still there, there’s been a definite softening of it to a point where it doesn’t bother me quite so much.”

Tester Tracy says: “Wow! I wasn’t sure what to expect and this stuff is amazing! It had the instant effect of a primer and my skin looks great. I usually look half asleep in the day but this has changed all that. I’ve been told my skin looks radiant, brighter and smoother. Seeing a difference with my lines and wrinkles after just a month has been amazing so I will definitely buy this.”

Laura says: “I feel like anyone would love this serum; works well with other skincare and instantly makes the face look a little fresher and plumper. It won’t work miracles on deep wrinkles but it’s a great boost for the skin.”
Nivea Q10 Targeted Wrinkle Filler Serum
Was £14.99, now £7.50 from Amazon
Since launching this instant skin smoother has been a sell-out success. It’s now back in stock, and uses Nivea’s famous Q10 complex plus ‘Bioxifill peptides’ to smooth out wrinkles in just five minutes, according to nine out of 10 testers. As well as this instant effect, Nivea claims it also gives long-term results too, with a reduction in wrinkles in the forehead, eye and naso-labial areas after two weeks of use.

Laura says: “This has an instantly smoothing and blurring effect on fine lines, like Facetune in a tube. It won’t work miracles on very deep wrinkles, but for a quick fix – perhaps before a night out of an important event – it’s great. It’s worth noting that this serum isn’t particularly hydrating so use in addition to your usual serum and/or moisturiser.”
Murad Targeted Wrinkle Corrector
£76 from Murad
Contains peptides that work as instant, temporary ‘filler’ for deep lines, and ingredients to help ward off future lines. It’s also gone viral on TikTok, with shoppers calling it “Botox in a bottle”.

It’s like some kind of miracle cream! It’s a must have for me now – I look younger and it gives me a plumper appearance without having cosmetic procedures.”

Tester Gail says: “My skin felt really soft, definitely plumper, so much smoother and really hydrated. It’s everything my skin needs and I’ve been admiring my face in the mirror all day. I will definitely be buying more and I’m telling friends about it. I actually feel like I’ve had some sort of expensive facial procedure. Overall my skin looks plumper so there are fewer lines. Finally, an inexpensive product that stands up to the claims it makes. I absolutely love it.”

One Boots customer wrote: “I was expecting to see results after a few weeks of consistent use, not after just one night! I applied Dior’s new Capture Totale Retishot before bed and woke up with the most softest skin! I can’t even remember the last time my face was this smooth! There was a little redness, but that was to be expected with pure retinol. I’m really excited to continue using this product!”
Luna Microcare Eternal Anti-Wrinkle Under Eye Patches
From £20 from Luna Microcare
A course of stick-on patches with dissolvable micro-channels that deliver anti-ageing ingredients to the delicate under-eye area while you sleep. In the brand’s clinical study, there were “dramatic improvements” to wrinkle depth.

Tester Rachel says: “Amazing, loved it! A general appearance of tiredness around my eyes causes my makeup not to apply evenly, and makes me look and feel older. After 2-3 weeks of using these, lines around my eyes appeared less pronounced. The whole experience left me feeling more positive as now I don’t look so old and tired. I would definitely would buy this product as I saw a real improvement – the skin under my eyes look fresher and plumper.”
