Amazon shoppers are praising a £13 serum they say makes them "look years younger." The retailer is stocking the Olay Regenerist Collagen Peptide 24 Day Serum and beauty fans can't get enough.
The serum is infused with collagen peptides and can penetrate up to 10 layers deep into skin surface. It promises to "work over time to smooth your skin's texture and restore its protective barrier, for strong and glowing skin." Amazon currently has the Olay serum on sale for £13, down from £38.45.
The full product description reads: "Reveal visibly stronger and glowing skin in 14 days with Olay regenerate collagen Peptide24 day serum. Did you know that collagen is an essential component of the skin supporting your skin's structure?
"With age, actually as of your thirties, the amount of collagen in skin decreases, allowing the skin to show signs of fatigue. Olay collagen Peptide24 day serum is infused with collagen peptides that, unlike collagen molecules, are able to penetrate up to 10 layers deep into skin surface.
"Together with Vitamin B3, the formula works fast to boost your skin with intense hydration that lasts for 24H and works over time to smooth your skin's texture & restore its protective barrier, for strong and glowing skin."
The serum has an overall rating of 4.1 stars out of five, having racked up more than 500 rave reviews online. Among them, one person said: "A real tonic for skin. Love this serum, absorbs into the skin nicely and gives my face a lovely glow. Will definitely buy it again."

A third shopper added: "Excellent product, will buy again. Smooth on the skin and results show within days." Another wrote: "It's worth every penny. How have I lived without this for so long? Amazing product, my skin looks so much better. Highly recommend."
However, some shoppers said they received damaged packages. One person said: "When this arrived the security seal was already opened. Definitely not going to be using it."
A second wrote: "Disappointed as I’ve ordered this before and I’ve just received it and the box was broken in came in, it looks like some of the serum has already been used and I’ve been told it’s not eligible for return."
