Medik8 serum in Black Friday deal ‘leaves skin smooth and tight’ and ‘softens fine lines’

There are just 10 days to go until Black Friday, and while some retailers hold their offers back until the week itself, others have already released huge deals.

Lookfantastic’s Black Friday sale is one of the longest running, with up to 50 percent off beauty, skincare and fragrance throughout November.

Some of this year’s most talked-about products have been reduced, including the Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3 Serum which has hundreds of reviews and a near-perfect overall rating.

Using a formula which helps to fight the signs of ageing, the serum can help to hydrate, smooth and plump the skin – plus it’s now reduced from £49 to £38.70.

Many are now looking further than just the words ‘moisturiser’, ‘serum’ and ‘eye cream’ when shopping for skincare.

With so many brands and products to choose from, building a routine can be overwhelming, but looking out for key ingredients can help with achieving personal skincare goals.

The Medik8 serum contains a whole host of skin-loving ingredients – including retinal, a form of retinol which helps to promote cell turnover and reduce signs of ageing, hyaluronic acid to plump and hydrate, and vitamin E to soothe and antioxidise.

The powerful serum can take some building up to, and some reviews do mention that it was too strong for their sensitive skin and caused them some irritation due to the strength of ingredients.

Shoppers have been leaving their feedback on the product, with some saying they could ‘feel and see the difference’ overnight.

Nikki said: ”This is the first product I have brought, used and woke up in the morning and could feel the difference and see the difference. It has really softened the fine lines I had. I love this product and will definitely be getting it again!”

Dora commented: ”Really good product. Finally seeing results. Leaves my skin smooth and tight. Would recommend.”

N said: ”Went up to strength 20 but got irritation so came back down to 3…unfortunately still getting irritation so had to stop. Not for sensitive skin.”

Jade also added: ”This difference from first use was shockingly good. Would 100% recommend this. Love the stuff..”

Even with the discount, the serum is still an expensive option, but there are affordable alternatives like the £7.50 Revolution Pro miracle cream, which also helps plump and hydrate.
