For those pre-planning their festive gift shopping, particularly for someone who adores high-quality skincare, there’s a top-rated gift set that would make an ideal present – and it’ll save you some cash as well.
Just in time for the holiday season, popular skincare company Medik8 has grouped two of its most popular anti-ageing products into a single package.
The Medik8 Nighttime Renew Age-Defying Face and Eyes Collection includes a full-size tube of Crystal Retinal 6 alongside its complementary eye treatment, Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye 6. Purchasing these items separately would normally cost £124 but together in this chic (and conveniently easy to gift-wrap) box, they’re priced at £89, letting you pocket a £35 saving.
The collection is touted as the perfect PM skincare regimen for anyone eager to address ageing signs like crow’s feet, wrinkles, and loss of skin elasticity.
The range of Medik8’s Crystal Retinal comes in varying strengths, and the ‘6’ level included here is suggested to be a general strength that suits most – though not recommended for those with extremely delicate skin or retinol novices (who should consider starting with ‘1’) – but potent enough for noticeable effects, reports the Mirror.
This efficacy is something customers seem to concur with, as evidenced by thousands of five-star ratings on the Medik8 website. One satisfied purchaser commented on the serum, saying: “Love this. Really notice a difference and it’s so gentle on my skin unlike other retinols.”
Customers have enthusiastically endorsed Crystal Retinal 6, with one shopper sharing their positive feedback: “Big improvement in both skin texture and tone within days. Absolutely delighted with results and looking forward to progressing through the strengths.”
The full £89 gift set is getting equally rave reviews, particularly for the Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye Cream. Comments include praise such as: “Love this eye cream! I’ve been using it for a few weeks and have noticed a difference already in my fine lines and dullness.”
Another user noted: “Definitely noticed a difference to the fine lines and thankfully no harsh reactions. Sinks in well!”
However one shopper found that it didn’t go well on their complexion, writing: “Caused dryness and irritation even when used only twice a week.”
The set isn’t just an ideal gift—it’s a smart purchase for those wanting to try these popular products and save some money too.
In terms of beauty gifts, Boots’ Star Gift is also worth checking out, like the Elizabeth Arden 8 Hours, 4 Ways Gift Set, priced at £27 but valued at over £75 and includes four skincare essentials like the full-size tube of Eight Hour Cream.
And for an indulgent pre-Christmas treat, consider the LookFantastic Advent Calendar. You can snag it for £100, but it boasts contents worth over £565.
