Shoppers are praising this youth-boosting Debenhams serum that plumps and rejuvenates skin, saying that it gives ‘such a great improvement’ in less than a month
Nowadays there is seemingly endless skincare launching that promises to turn back the clock on skin ageing, but we’ve found one formula that’s been working ‘magic’ (according to shoppers) for over 20 years – and could be a good alternative to super pricey skincare.
Elizabeth Grant’s Supreme Essence of Torricelumn is a bestselling serum that contains sea-sourced minerals as well as coenzyme Q-10, collagen, vitamins A, C and E, and plant stem cells. This sounds similar to La Mer’s iconic line of skincare products, which included its trademark ‘miracle broth’, a complex contains, amongst other things, giant sea kelp extract. Whereas a 50ml bottle of La Mer The Concentrate costs a whopping £545, however, Elizabeth Grant’s essence instead costs £70 from Debenhams.

This Debenhams serum is designed to tackle five signs of skin ageing in as little as 14-28 days, the brand claims: dehydration, fine lines and wrinkles, dullness, redness and uneven skin tone. This is thanks to the key ingredient Torricelumn, which customers are calling “magical” and “fantastic”:
“Amazing product!” one person called the ingredient. “I’ve been using Elizabeth Grant Torricelumn for almost 20 years. I am frequently asked why my skin is so fresh looking. My age is also often misjudged as being much younger. Who doesn’t love that?”
“So moisturising. Love the products. Skin feels and looks great. Reduces fine lines,” another review reads.
A third person said of the serum as a whole: “Incredible! I started using this product just under a month ago and have seen such a great improvement on my skin and face. I highly recommend this product, and worth the price.”
Elizabeth Grant says that this hero product can be used “as a hydration booster, to heal a sunburn or as an anti-ageing serum”, and so we’d use it morning and night after cleansing and before moisturiser and SPF. If you’re looking for tried and tested recommendations for the later two, we’re currently loving Medik8 Total Moisture Daily Facial Cream, £48, and Ultra Violette Future Fluid SPF50+ Superlight Mineral Skinscreen, £38.
Another youth-boosting serum that harnesses the powers of algae is Elemis Pro-Collagen Renewal Serum, currently reduced from £75 to £60, while a cheaper serum to consider is L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Serum Le Duo with Collagen Peptides, £37.99, which features a collagen peptide booster on one side and a glow-boosting blend of vitamins B3 and C on the other.
