Hailey Bieber and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's go-to anti-ageing cream has ‘dramatic' wrinkle reduction
Medik8's r-Retinoate Intense anti-ageing cream is a staple in the beauty routines of both Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Hailey Bieber and it's now got 20% off for a limited time When it comes to skincare, taking advice from a super model is usually a pretty safe bet. They're known for their expert skills at protecting, repairing and boosting their complexions, so any products they consider a must-have go right to the top of our beauty wishlists. So when we found out that both Hailey Bieber and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley – who are both known for their flawless skin – are huge fans of Medik8's r-Retinoate Intense cream, we knew it couldn't just be coincidence. The anti-ageing cream is touted as having 'dramatic' wrinkle reduction, not to mention quick and effective results, with visible changes said to be visible in as little as four weeks. The r-Retinoate Intense is usually priced at £229 for a 50ml container, however Medik8 is currently running a huge summer sale, which includes the celeb-loved anti-ageing cream. Currently it has a 20% discount, bringing the price down to £183.20 and saving you almost £45. Now we know this is still quite the splurge for many, so there are other retinol-infused night creams around that are a little more affordable. A 50ml tub of the Olay Retinol 24 MAX Night Cream Face Moisturiser is currently £21.99 down from £44 at Amazon, whilst Paula's Choice has slashed the price of its 50ml Anti-Aging Intensive Repair Moisturiser from £39 to £31.20. You can also pick up Perricone MD's High Potency Retinol Recovery Overnight Moisturizer for £30 for a 7.5ml tub. However, the r-Retinoate Intense comes highly recommended by plenty of celebs and A-listers, making it a great choice for those whose budgets will stretch to it. One reason the anti-ageing cream is such a favourite product is because of how quick and effective it is at showing results. It's said to take as little as four weeks for your skin to look brighter, firmer and smoother, as well as giving your skin 'dramatic wrinkle and dark spot reduction' in the same time frame. It's eight times stronger and 11 times faster acting than a typical retinol, with the r-Retinoate Intense 's formula using a blend of retinal and encapsulated retinyl retinoate that's exclusive to Medik8. It also combines five different anti-ageing technologies into one night cream, cutting down your routine time and giving you the same results. It also has an impressive 4.85 out of 5 star rating, which means it's not just A-listers who've seen great results from using the cream. One wrote: 'I love this. It makes my night-time regime so easy, one and done, no top coat of moisturizer needed. And I wake up looking better. It's not greasy and it doesn't dry out my skin.' Another agreed: 'This product is amazing, my skin feels so plump, soft and fresh.' Whilst a third chimed in: 'I love this product. It is pricey but I can definitely see an improvement in my skin. Fine lines have almost disappeared.' Of course, not all products will work for everyone, with one shopper saying: 'Sadly, however I applied this I experienced pilling. I even tried using a Medik8 cleanser (I normally use a micellar water from another brand) but still found it pilled. I also found it wasn't moisturising enough and woke with a few dry patches. Shame as I really wanted to love this so I could simplify my nighttime routine. Customer service were really helpful and made various suggestions but I continued to have the same issue so am reluctantly returning it However, others couldn't stop praising the r-Retinoate Intense, with one writing: 'Definitely at the higher age group and more. I have looked after my skin since a teenager, so it was pretty good. I have been using the r-retinoate range and pleased with that; but this takes it to a new level. A male friend even noted that I seem to be getting younger!'

Medik8 20% off sale includes 'Botox in a bottle' anti-ageing serum
'People ask if I've had Botox or fillers, and I say no, it's the amazing products of Medik8' Medik8 has carved out a reputation for its effective, high-performance skincare, winning over beauty editors, skincare professionals and fans alike. But while the products pack a punch, they can also come with a price tag, with some of its bestselling formulas reaching up to £99 a bottle. So I was pleased to spot a rare 20% off sale across the site, including one of its most buzzed-about serums: the Liquid Peptides Advanced MP, which is now £63.20 down from £79. Described as 'Botox in a bottle' by shoppers, it's clinically proven to lessen the appearance of expression lines in 10 minutes and deep-set wrinkles within eight weeks. The brand claims that the multi-peptide complex provides a 'filler-like effect' while also supporting long-term collagen production. Judging by the reviews, it's clearly working - the product has racked up an impressive 4.9-star rating with shoppers. One reviewer said: "Using it morning and night, my skin looks and feels nourished, plumper and smoother. Using Medik8 products has significantly improved my skin. People ask if I've had Botox or fillers, and I say no, it's the amazing products of Medik8." Another chimed in: "This product is unbelievably effective. Almost overnight, my wrinkles smoothed out and my skin had an amazing glow, never before achieved with a topical product. I am now about a quarter through my first bottle, and I can honestly say the difference is remarkable." However, someone else said: "Too runny, and no noticeable improvement. Nothing special." For those curious about peptides but want to explore other options, there are several highly rated alternatives available. The Ordinary's Multi-Peptide + HA Serum (£15.90) is a budget-friendly favourite that combines peptides with hydrating hyaluronic acid. Otherwise, Paula's Choice Pro-Collagen Multi-Peptide Booster (£46.40, originally £58) is a silky booster that can be mixed into moisturiser or used alone to improve firmness and fine lines. It has been clinically proven to visibly smooth lines in 15 minutes and visibly firm, plump, and reduce wrinkles in a month. Back to the Medik8 sale, another standout is my personal favourite: C-Tetra Luxe, down to £47.20 from £59. This vitamin C serum is a staple in my morning routine thanks to its fast-absorbing texture and visible brightening effects. Medik8 uses a stabilised form of vitamin C called tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, which they claim delivers visible radiance after just one use. It also has a strong 4.9-star rating, proving its effectiveness. A shopper wrote: "Amazing results. My skin feels refreshed, I use this every morning and it has improved the dark marks on my skin and made my skin look more even toned, and it has improved the brightness of my skin." Someone else left a mixed review, noting: "I love this product. It makes my skin look bright and firm. However, this serum is quite oily for my combined skin type, so I use 2-3 drops only during the cold season." Someone else added: "Love this stuff. It's been a game-changer for my skin. It is oily when first applied, but is quickly absorbed, leaving skin glowing and not greasy at all. Had little dry patches and this has sorted that as well as added a brightness to new skin. And it smells gorgeous."

‘Works like magic' line-smoothing face mask duo that ‘plumps wrinkles overnight'
I first heard about the incredible results of the overnight face mask set a few years ago from a fellow beauty editor – and shoppers also can't get enough of it A couple of key things influence me when thinking about buying beauty products: trusted reviews from friends, family or experts, and impressive before-and-after photos, especially when taken under clinical conditions. And that's exactly what I found with this line-smoothing overnight face mask duo. A former beauty colleague of mine – who certainly knows her skincare – once raved about how much she rated Medik8's H.E.O. Mask Optimal Ratio Moisturisation Two-Step Overnight Mask for the incredible effect it had on her skin in the morning. I've always remembered this, and recently came across it again while browsing the Medik8 website – and was also wowed by some of the customer reviews and before-and-after photos. This deeply hydrating two-step mask set, £60, is designed to be used as the last step in your evening skincare routine, and consists of a gel-textured mask, which you leave on to sink in, and and creamy one, which you then apply afterwards; both should be left on overnight, and a little goes a long way. The result come morning is 72 hours of hydration and moisture retention, plumper looking skin, and a visible reduction in fine lines, crepiness and flakiness. And the hundreds of shopper reviews seem to back this up, with almost all of them five-star ratings. One comment titled 'Works like magic' goes on to read: "Super-moisturising! I am really sad that I didn't find it earlier. You can really see the difference overnight, the skin is smooth and it looks younger as well because it is really moisturised, it gives better results than the night cream, and I am tempted to use it every day though it says that the product should only be used a couple of times a week. Must have for a dry skin with wrinkles!" "It feels luxurious on the skin and even plumps up wrinkles overnight," another fan agreed. "It's like a spa treatment at home!" A third long-time Medik8 fan wrote: "As with all the Medik8 products I've tried, this mask has done wonders for my skin. It plumps up and softens fine lines and wrinkles overnight so that now the experience of looking in the mirror first thing is a much happier one!" If you're looking to add a few more wrinkle-busting Medik8 products to your basket while you're browsing, the new Liquid Peptides Advanced MP serum, £79, has proven to be a huge hit since it launched earlier this year. You can read my full review here. And for masks that temporarily hydrate and cost a little less, you can't beat a sheet mask. These Biodance Bio Collagen-Real Deep Masks, £14.90 for four, are going viral at the moment, while Garnier does a great selection for just a few quid.

Medik8 anti-ageing SPF50 day cream that 'makes skin glow' gets a rare 20% saving
Medik8's 5-star rated anti-ageing SPF cream that shoppers praise for 'giving skin a light summer glow' is currently up for grabs for a handy 20% off in this rare beauty deal If you're looking to secure a new skincare staple that promises to leave your skin feeling hydrated and protected from UV damage and always works to rid the complexion of premature signs of ageing, this Medik8 Advanced Day Ultimate Protect SPF50+ will banish fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots.

During Medik8's trials, 94% of users agreed that the Advanced Day Ultimate Protect cream leaves the skin feeling moisturised all day, ideal for this time of year when the warmer, drier weather leaves skin parched and in need of nourishment. This daily hydrating day cream safeguards the skin from UV rays and pollution, warding off signs of premature ageing. The Medik8 Advanced Day Ultimate Protect is your skin's shield against UVA/UVB rays, blue light, infrared light, and pollution. The moisturiser employs the brand's unique 360° environmental shield. Its formula includes blueberry seed oil and carnosine, which help prevent skin damage from oxidative stressors. The cream 's formula uses advanced UV filters to provide top-notch protection against sunlight. Encapsulated photolyase, a plankton extract-derived enzyme, helps to reduce the visible signs of ageing caused by UV rays, such as fine lines, crow's feet, wrinkles, and dark spots. The cream also contains hyaluronic acid and squalane, which hydrate the skin, leaving it feeling protected and nourished all day long. Lookfantastic skincare shoppers are loving this Medik8 cream, as plenty of praise pours in. One glowing 5-star reviewer shares: "This daydream ticks every box , spf 50 very moisturising , easy to apply and still surprisingly a good base for foundation. Medik8 never fail to live up to my expectations." Another satisfied customer raves: "I do have hyper sensitive skin and getting rushing from everything, this cream is the only one that works for me - no break outs! Will buy again, it gives skin light summer glow and protection is perfect. Definitely recommend!" A third chimes in: " My go-to sunscreen! It keeps me young forever! I love the fact that it has PA++++, which protects my skin from screen damage!" This buyer leaves a beaming review, noting only one downside: "I recently started to use products from Medik8. I have been impressed so far. This factor 50 suits my skin, it's not greasy, leaves me moisturised with a glow, and I love wearing this alone without makeup. The downside is the price"
