Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan is 37 but looks youthful enough to be 19 on the hit show.
Fans are stunned to see the actress take on the role of Penelope in the third season of the Netflix series.
After the first four episodes of the season premiered on May 16, viewers took to X (formerly Twitter) to praise her youthful appearance.
“There’s no way Nicola Coughlan is 37…she looks 20,” one viewer wrote.
“Nicola Coughlan is 37 but looks in her 20s. [a] “Teenagers,” another agreed.
But the secret to her youthful skin is no longer a secret.
In a video for Vogue, Coughlan detailed the steps in her skincare and makeup routine.
The actress revealed that the anti-aging serum, which can be purchased at any drugstore for $9.90, is a staple in her skin care routine.
“My skin is really dry,” she said, applying the affordable product.

Coughlan explained that one step she never skips is moisturising her neck.
Her boss advised her to incorporate skin care techniques into her beauty regimen.
“My boss said, ‘You should start using eye cream and moisturizing your neck,'” she said.
“So I said, ‘Sure,’ and I started doing it right away, which was unusual among my friends for me to do that.”
The trick she was taught is to gently apply the cream under the eyes with specific fingers without using too much pressure.
“They also told me to only wear it on my ring finger,” she explained.
Another important step is to make sure you use sunscreen, she added.
Ms Coghlan explained that the secret to her youthfulness was staying out of the sun for most of her life.
“I think sometimes people are surprised that I look like an old woman,” she joked.
“It’s pretty good.
“Not having money in my 20s was one of the biggest damages to my skin.
“My friends were going on holidays and I was like, ‘I have no money, no holidays,'” she said, laughing.
“It’s not worth the tan, it’s not.”
