Tropic Skincare has launched the Youth Potion Advanced, an upgraded version of its original Youth Potion, which the brand claims is seven times more potent. Priced at £90, the serum features what the brand says is the world's first natural retinal and aims to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, improve firmness, and refine skin tone and texture.
Early customer feedback has been positive, particularly from mature shoppers. One woman in her mid-50s described it as a 'game-changer,' noting visible improvements in her skin within a week. Another user in her 50s called it 'the best serum ever,' praising its thick consistency and hydrating effects. A reviewer in her early 70s said the serum made her skin smoother and firmer, with less pronounced fine lines and faded age spots.
The serum has received over 70 five-star reviews at the time of writing, with no negative reviews yet. However, one four-star review noted it is 'much thicker than the previous version.' The brand advises users to start with two to three applications per week in the evening, allowing the skin to adjust before increasing frequency.
Alongside the serum, Tropic Skincare also launched the Calm and Correct Treatment (£32), a complexion product designed to neutralise redness. Users with rosacea and sun damage reported excellent coverage and improved skin comfort. For those seeking alternatives, Medik8 Bakuchiol Peptides (£55) offers a plant-based retinol alternative, while Erborian CC Red Correct (£15) provides SPF 30 protection.
