As the first full week of Love Island All Stars unfolds, viewers are getting more than just gossip from the South African villa. The brand new glam room has become a hotspot for uncovering the beauty secrets behind the contestants' plump, hydrated, and glowing complexions.
The £12 Villa Essential
Amidst the array of products lining the bathroom shelves, one affordable gem has been prominently spotted: the L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Filler Plumping Aqua-Fluid SPF30 Moisturiser. Officially partnered with the show, Boots is currently offering this usually £15.99 product for just £11.99, making it an accessible buy for anyone wanting to emulate the Islanders' radiant skin.
This new launch is part of L'Oreal's Glass Skin series, which takes direct inspiration from coveted Korean beauty routines. The formula is designed to hydrate, plump, and protect skin simultaneously, targeting visible signs of ageing.
How The Moisturiser Works
The product's efficacy lies in its blend of key ingredients. It contains both macro and micro hyaluronic acids, which work to penetrate different layers of the skin for deep hydration and a plumping effect from within. This process helps create a bouncier, healthier appearance while reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
Further enhancing its appeal, the moisturiser includes niacinamide to smooth skin texture and an essential SPF30 protection. This sun protection is crucial for daily use, particularly for the Islanders spending long hours under the South African sun.
Praise and Alternatives
The Revitalift Aqua-Fluid has already garnered impressive reviews from Boots shoppers, holding a 4.7 out of 5 star rating. Fans praise its lightweight, fast-absorbing texture and the hydrated, non-greasy finish it leaves. One reviewer noted it helped with fine lines, while another loved the "soft glow" it provided.
While some noted the SPF could cause makeup to wear differently or that the scent was strong, the overall reception is highly positive. For those seeking alternatives, the article mentions pricier options like Tatcha's Dewy Skin Cream (£67) and more affordable picks such as Q+A's Hyaluronic Acid Daily Moisturiser (£9) or Neutrogena's Hydro Boost Water Gel (now £7.91 on Amazon).
The discovery underscores a continuing trend: achieving a celebrity-level skincare routine doesn't always require a celebrity budget. With the Love Island All Stars cast endorsing this £12 find, it's set to become a must-have for viewers aiming for that coveted villa glow.
