Medik8 has unveiled a limited-time sale featuring its award-winning skincare range, including the Crystal Retinal Eye Ceramide, which typically retails from £42 but has been cut to £33.60. The 20% off event runs from now until Friday, and shoppers can enjoy free delivery when they order over £25.
The vitamin A-based eye cream is optimised to deliver clinical strength, encapsulated retinaldehyde to tackle the visibility of fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, irregular skin texture and suppleness. The formula is tested to perform up to 11 times more effectively than conventional retinol.
Additionally, the nighttime eye cream incorporates ceramides for barrier protection, hyaluronic acid-filled spheres for moisture retention and chamomile extract to calm the complexion.
Whilst retinol and retinal are recognised for being more aggressive on skin compared to certain other components, they’re increasingly appearing in numerous eye treatments. The INKEY List Retinol Eye Cream is presently £13 at SpaceNK, whilst LookFantastic stocks Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum Ginseng + Retinal for £15 – both are well-regarded, though neither boasts as extensive a review collection as Medik8’s triumph.
The Medik8 eye cream has garnered a remarkable average score of 4.8 out of five from more than 1,700 customer reviews. One delighted customer commented: “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.”
One user was overjoyed with the effect on their skin, exclaiming: “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 crow’s feet. 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.”
However, some customers were less impressed by the time it took for the product to show noticeable effects, according to the Mirror, one stated: “I have been using strength 6 around my eyes and the Crystal Retinal 6 on the rest of my 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.”
Another customer has reported seeing a difference in just 24 hours, exclaiming: “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.”
Medik8’s Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye cream is available in three strengths, with prices kicking off at £33.60. Other popular products are also on sale such as the age-defying Advanced Day Ultimate Protect moisturiser, which is now reduced to £47.20; or the brightening C-Tetra Serum, currently priced at £33.60.
