LookFantastic has launched a limited edition Dermatological Edit worth over £170, containing 11 science-backed skincare products - including the Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3 Serum, which usually costs £49
There are few anti-ageing products as effective and revered as Medik8's Crystal Retinal. And now, the 'game-changing' skincare product, adored by This Morning beauty expert Nadine Baggott, is now available for a fraction of its usual price thanks to a deal with LookFantastic.
The Medik8's Crystal Retinal 3, typically priced at £49, can be snagged for £4.55 as part of the offer. This comes as LookFantastic unveils a limited edition Dermatological Edit.
Valued at over £170, this collection includes 11 scientifically-backed skincare products and is up for grabs for shoppers at £50 - £1 more than purchasing the Medik8 hero alone.
With savings exceeding 70%, the edit boasts 'everything you need to enter your best skin ever era'. Customers can anticipate discovering a host of celebrity-favoured brands, such as Augustinus Bader, alongside expert-approved selections from [coat]s, First Aid Beauty and more, Manchester Evening News reports.
The Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3 Serum is the brand's second highest strength Vitamin A skincare product. Ideal for beginners and sensitive skin, it promises to deliver gentle fine-line reducing benefits.
The key ingredient in this anti-ageing formula is retinal, a next-generation vitamin A that works 11x faster than standard retinol. This night serum is clinically proven to visibly smooth stubborn wrinkles, brighten dark spots, decongest and firm your skin without causing irritation.
The serum has racked up an impressive 4.8 star rating from over 5,000 reviews. Satisfied customers have been vocal about their experiences: one shopper described it as a 'game changer' for her skin, saying, "Absolutely love this product. It has been a game changer for my skin and it does not cause any irritation when used as per instructions."
Another customer revealed her loyalty to the serum, stating, "One product I keep going back to. Works amazingly on my sensitive skin & is helping slow down those early signs of ageing."
A third chimed in with praises: "My favourite product from Medik8. My skin is very dry and it helps rejuvenate it over night and reduce the fine line of wrinkles on my face."
But not every review glows with positivity. One user faced some issues, remarking: "This might be a good product, but with my fair skin, the yellow colour of the crème is really yellow on my skin so cannot wear it during the day. And at night it stains my pillow cases, some of it washed out but not all of it. So I'm thinking it would make a good day time mask. But other than that I'm satisfied with results."
Buyers should bear in mind that Medik8 Crystal Retinal is intended for evening use due to its vitamin A content. The noticeable colour stems from natural ingredients and it's been known to stain pillowcases. Medik8 advises applying the cream well before bedtime to let it sink in, and layering a moisturiser on top to help minimize staining.
Skincare enthusiasts are in for a treat with the most thrilling bit being the Dermatological Edit box, packed with a treasure trove of items including an anti-blemish gel and a hydrating sheet mask. Peek inside to discover what you'll get in this skin-loving haul.
