Boots shoppers ditch make up thanks to 'amazing' serum that 'reduces scars and dark marks'

Boots shoppers have been ditching their make-up after using an anti-dark mark serum from Nivea.

The Nivea Luminous 630 Post-Acne Marks Skin Perfecting Serum is currently £10 for 30ml for today only as part of the Boots £10 Tuesday deals, but on a Wednesday this week due to the bank holiday. It is usually priced at £32.99 and promises to help skin gain back its brightness, particularly post-acne.

The product description states it visibly reduces post-acne dark marks, smoothes the skin for a soft and refined texture and mattifies the skin for an oil-control effect. It is said to be specially formulated for the needs of oily, combination and blemish-prone skim and it is recommended to be used twice a day, once in the morning and once at night.

The Nivea Luminous 630 Post-Acne Marks Skin Perfecting Serum has gained a number of positive reviews with people saying they had seen results within a week.

One reviewer said: "I first bought this a couple of months ago to try on £10 Tuesday! It definitely works well for me and does everything as advertised so much so that I then purchased it for a more expensive price to enable me to keep using it until it came back on offer so I could multi buy at a great price.

"My skin is smoother, clearer, brighter and tighter since consistently using NIVEA Luminous 630 Post-Acne Marks Skin Perfecting Serum 30ml, to be honest, my skin looks the best that it ever has as it used to always take ages trying to conceal and cover up marks from blemishes I have been plagued with over the decades and now thankfully after persevering with this serum the time saved getting ready is amazing because my skin no longer needs concealer or makeup before I let anyone see me!

"I have been using this NIVEA Luminous 630 Post-Acne Marks Skin Perfecting Serum 30ml after cleansing and prior to moisturising while avoiding the eye area. I agree with others that the smell is quite chemical but this very quickly dissipates as the serum dries quickly to lovely smooth skin.

"I started using it twice a day both morning and evening after cleansing but now find I only need to use it once a day for maintenance of the best clear skin I have ever had which is now also lovely to touch in addition to seeing."

Another said: "I've used the product for three months and I see visible results. My pigment spots have faded."

A third added: "I haven’t been using this long enough to notice much improvement but I really like this product so far. It drys really quickly and isn’t oily so can be used under your daily moisturiser. I have noticed my skin feels smoother and tighter."

While a fourth said: "I was sent this as a trial so thought I'd do it properly. Used it on half my face and noticed a visible difference after a few weeks. Skin was much smoother and although I hadn't got acne marks as such it did appear to reduce the appearance of pore marks down the side of my nose. Easy to put on and you need very little at a time so it has lasted ages."

But some people said they had not seen a difference, one said: "I have bought three of these and to be honest haven't seen any improvement."
