Medik8 fans say 'magical' anti-ageing eye cream makes dark circles 'disappear'
'My lines are very faint and my skin is glowing. I just turned 50 but I reckon I look the best I ever have.' Medik8 has launched an impressive sale on their 'greatest' skincare hits including the Crystal Retinal Eye Ceramide. The 'magical' serum would usually start at £42 but has dropped down to £33.60. It uses twin-encapsulated retinaldehyde which has been proven to work up to 11 times faster than standard retinol, this targets the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, discolouration, uneven skin texture and firmness. It also contains ceramides for the skin barrier, hyaluronic acid filling spheres for hydration and chamomile extract to soothe skin. While retinol and retinal have been known to be harsher on skin than some other ingredients, it is showing up in a number of eye products. The INKEY List Retinol Eye Cream is currently £13 at SpaceNK and LookFantastic is selling Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum Ginseng + Retinal for £15, both are popular although neither have as many reviews as Medik8's hit. The Medik8 serum has pulled in an impressive average rating of 4.8 out of five from over 1,700 reviews. One happy shopper wrote: "I used to have dark circles under my eyes and let me tell you that after I started using Crystal Retinal Eye Ceramide they disappeared! This is a magical serum!" Another was thrilled by the impact on her skin, saying: "Oh my word. This has dethroned R-Retinoate as my favourite product ever. It is beautiful. I dot it under my eyes and on my crows feet and I can truthfully say that it instantly makes a difference which only gets better over time. The combined effect of using this with the oxy-r peptides has made the greatest difference to my skin out of all the products I've ever used and I'm ancient. I say 'greatest' because the results are clear to see over such a short period of time and I have supersensitive skin which hasn't been irritated in the slightest. "I feel like I'm gushing a little too much now but for a person who has suffered with eczema for 50 years and who was desperate to rescue his face after a particularly bad episode these products have wowed me. My lines are very faint and my skin is glowing. I just turned 50 but I reckon I look the best I ever have and I genuinely put that down to oxy-r peptides and the crystal retinal ceramide eye 6. It's certainly not down to clean living." Some shoppers have been underwhelmed by the speed it takes to start showing an impact, with one writing: "I have been using strength 6 around my eyes and the crystal retinal 6 for the face on rest of face. I think too early to say if it would be making any difference to eye creases, but I had hoped after a few weeks my dark circles would be lighter." While another claims to have seen a difference within 24 hours, adding: "So much change, just overnight. This product is so amazing, just overnight it firmed and plumped my eyes. It also helped with my wrinkles, this is a really amazing product!"

'I try endless skincare as a beauty writer, but this line has a permanent spot in my routine'
Shopping writer Lauren trials countless products - but this one range has earned itself a repeat order As a beauty writer, I'm constantly rotating through new skincare launches. Between testing serums, masks and moisturisers to help narrow down the best buys for your buck, I rarely stick with any one range for long. But now and then, a collection lands on my desk that actually earns a permanent spot in my routine. Case in point: Laneige's Bouncy & Firm range, which I've just restocked for the third time. Laneige, perhaps best known for its cult-favourite Lip Sleeping Masks, launched the Bouncy & Firm line earlier this year with four products designed to plump, revitalise and hydrate tired skin: a serum, sleeping mask, eye sleeping mask and a lip sleeping mask. They arrived in March, and five months on, I'm still reaching for every one of them - especially the Bouncy & Firm Eye Sleeping Mask (£28). My under-eye area is notoriously sensitive, and finding an eye product that doesn't sting, itch, or leave me looking worse for wear is rare. In fact, I can't recall ever repurchasing one - until now. The eye mask is a total game changer, with a cooling gel-like texture that glides on smoothly and instantly de-puffs and soothes. It feels indulgent to apply, like a chilled spa moment before bed, and it's never caused any irritation, even after months of nightly use. For those who also suffer from irritation like me, there are a few different eye creams that cater to sensitive skin. Clinique's Moisture Surge™ Eye 96-Hour Hydro-Filler Concentrate (£35) is dermatologist and allergy tested, as well as being 100% fragrance free. Otherwise, CeraVe's Eye Repair Cream (£10.15) is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and eczema-prone skin. This review reads: "Feels great and doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. I've been told several times my under eyes look much better, but I think it's more of a plumping effect rather than correcting the discolouration itself." The rest of the Laneige range deserves a shout, too. The Sleeping Mask (£32) feels rich yet breathable on my skin, locking moisture without feeling heavy or greasy. The Lip Mask (£18.40) - a sister to Laneige's viral original - is just as nourishing, cushioning my lips overnight and leaving them soft by morning. As for the Bouncy & Firm Serum (£39), I'm on the fence. It sinks in quickly and integrates well with other products, but I haven't noticed a significant improvement in my skin since incorporating it into my routine. That said, it may be one of those slow-burn heroes that shines over time, so I'm not ruling it out just yet, especially as I only introduced it into my regime a month ago. Overall, the Bouncy & Firm range delivers on its promise, and the fact that I've topped up speaks for itself. In a sea of constantly changing beauty launches, that's no small feat.

The Better Menopause has a discount code available for new shoppers who want to try the brand and get 30% off their first payment cycle on any subscription purchase Menopause can be a challenging period for women, with symptoms including mood swings, inflammation, sleep disturbances and digestive issues. According to The Better Menopause, eight out of 10 women report experiencing bloating and IBS-like symptoms that persist through perimenopause and well beyond menopause. However, there are now an increasing number of supplements available to help alleviate these symptoms, including those from the brand The Better Menopause. This brand offers scientifically supported supplements designed by women for women, focusing on the gut-hormone connection to address the root of symptoms. New customers interested in trying The Better Menopause can currently use the code REACH30 to receive a 30% discount on their first payment cycle for any subscription service. This offer is valid until 11.59 pm on August 31.

Priced at £53.10 for a four-week supply, each daily capsule delivers 50 billion CFUs (live bacteria) directly to the gut in doses high enough to provide optimal support. Better Gut helps support a balanced estrobolome to help regulate oestrogen, which manages menopause symptoms like hot flushes, brain fog, IBS, low mood and other issues. A balanced microbiome enhances digestion and absorption, promoting better immunity, skin, hair, and nails, reports The Mirror. The Better Menopause £141.60 for 12 weeks The Better Menopause Buy here Product Description Another product is Better Night, priced at £43.20 for a four-week supply, that's specifically formulated to help users relax, unwind and recharge. The Better Night supplement supports high-quality restoration and sleep, while also reducing night sweats and being more easily absorbed into a healthy, high-functioning gut. It combines essential vitamins and calming botanicals to promote a better night's sleep and overall well-being. The blend includes ingredients such as Ashwagandha KSM-66, Saffron Affron, Magnesium Glycinate, Lemon Balm, Montmorency Cherry, Chamomile, plus Vitamins B6, B12 and D3. Finally, Better Metabolism, priced at £51.30 for a four-week supply, is a natural supplement designed to support women's metabolic function, blood sugar regulation, cravings, and energy levels during perimenopause and beyond.

Meanwhile, Lookfantastic offers Myvitamins Menosure 60 capsules costing £9.99. These contain 10 vital nutrients and naturally derived extracts, including vitamin B6 for maintaining regular hormonal activity, vitamin B12 for supporting cognitive function, and biotin for energy support. Alternatively, A Vogel Menopause Support 60 is available for £14.58 from Your Health Store and is designed to tackle tiredness and exhaustion. The Better Menopause range has earned impressive reviews; Better Gut boasts a 4.7-star rating on the company's website. One customer commented: "I had been looking at a lot of different probiotics, but this one seemed to be the best suited to my peri menopause symptoms, so I gave it a try. "I've only been on it for five weeks, but I already notice that I am a lot less bloated and my digestion is feeling better. Sleep is getting better also. I was having gut issues last year and wish I had found these sooner." However, not all users were convinced, with one individual stating: "It took away my mood, but I still slept two hours or three, wish I could sleep all night." Another purchaser remarked: "No difference so far." But someone else piped up: "I have been using the Better Gut for a year now, and it has helped with my bloating. I really recommend it." And another said: "Still early days, but I feel better. I have been taking Better Gut for two weeks and am looking forward to seeing how much better I will feel after the third month. I would definitely recommend this product."
