What the gurus are saying

This watery serum earns praise for smoothing dynamic wrinkles like crow's feet and forehead lines with visible results from the first application. The gurus who tested it found it hydrating as well as effective at minimizing fine lines, and at under £10 it offers wrinkle-reduction at a price that does not strain the budget. One creator pairs it with another peptide product from the same brand for extra impact.

"This is the first of these instant anti-aging products I think I ever used and I was hooked on day one. I love the results that I got particularly targeting dynamic fine lines and wrinkles those caused by movement, so if you're worried about the crows feet, the laughter lines, all the 11s, The Ordinary Arginine Solution is a really inexpensive yet effective way to target them. My favorite way of using this is to combine it with another peptide from The Ordinary known as Matrixyl for that like double whammy. The Ordinary Arginine is going to minimize the appearance of those fine lines and wrinkles straight away. For under £10 you can get a really effective wrinkle treatment that studies now show reduces the depth of wrinkles by up to 177% without having to break the bank. I still reach for it, I still use it, and every time I do I'm still impressed with the results I see: smoothing out skin, minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and give you a touch of hydration too."
