Medik8 is currently offering shoppers the chance to save 35% on its ‘facial in a bottle’ peel that ‘changes the appearance of skin after one use’, but only for a limited time
Beauty buffs are raving about a formula that promises to smooth and decongest skin overnight, and right now it’s up for grabs for a nifty 35% less, thanks to Medik8’s current sale. The Sleep Glycolic treatment is currently retailing at £39 for a 30ml tube, promising up to 60 uses. Using alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), the brand claims it ‘delivers fast results overnight, without the usual redness and irritation associated with peel formulas. ‘

Using AHA to exfoliate the skin, this skincare must-have promises a smoother texture, reduced lines, and potentially a brighter complexion. The inclusion of ‘crystal encapsulation technology’ means the AHA is delivered gradually, so it ‘remains comfortable and balanced during use’, according to the brand.
The key ingredients of this product include 10% active glycolic acid, Korean clover extract and glycerin. The brand touts this product as ‘more acidic than most’, but this is to ensure it delivers 10% of active acid, making it ‘very powerful’.
With a straightforward three-step process, Medik8 recommends using it two to three times per week. Start by cleansing in the evening, then apply a pea-sized amount to the face and neck, avoiding the eye areas. This can be followed by different serums and moisturisers before leaving it on overnight, and the brand advises users to wear sunscreen the following day.
The formula contains no artificial fragrances or synthetic colours and is also fully recyclable. Buyers will also be pleased to know it’s certified by the Vegan Society, meaning it contains no animal-derived ingredients or by-products.
For an alternative, skincare lovers should consider Charlotte Tilbury’s Super Radiance Resurfacing Facial product, priced at £52. With the addition of salicylic acid alongside AHA, it offers a two-in-one action, working on the skin’s surface as well as pores.
Meanwhile, Boots offers this No7 Total Renewal Micro-Dermabrasion Face Exfoliator in 75ml, currently retailing at £8.95. This promises to ‘refine and renew’ skin for ‘incredible radiance from the first time you use it’, according to the brand. It employs micro-crystals to smooth, refine and renew the skin, eliminating ‘dull cells’.
Shoppers who have added this Sleep Glycolic treatment to their vanity can’t stop raving about its results. One 5-star reviewer raves: “My face skin responded very positively to Sleep Glycolic. After a month of use, I noticed several improvements: minimised pores, smoother forehead wrinkles, fewer comedones, and a gradual improvement in overall skin texture. I’m really impressed with the results!”.
Another shopper shares: “Absolutely incredible! Changed the appearance of my skin after one use.”
A third customer exclaims, “Transform and renew your skin while sleeping.”
This buyer beams: “Once again, I am truly amazed by the results Medik8 products deliver to my skin. I have tried many AHAs, but only with the Sleep Glycolic I see an immediate glow, rejuvenated and clear complexion in the morning. It is my true game-changer, with 0 irritation even when I use it in the same regimen with my CR10.”
However, one user shares their gripe, writing, “I like it, it definitely peels your skin, but I have not seen my blackheads go away and maybe it’s a bit aggressive for sensitive skins since I don’t heal as quickly, to use as often as the directions suggest.”
Though the praise is overwhelming. Another 5-star reviewer gushes: “I’m really impressed with this product! It’s gentle yet very effective—my skin feels smoother and looks more radiant by morning. I love how it works overnight without irritation, giving me fresh and glowing skin the next day. A perfect weekly treatment!”
And further accolades come from this buyer who enthuses: “Works really well. I wake up with smoother, softer skin without any irritation. It’s a gentle but effective glycolic acid product. My skin isn’t particularly sensitive to begin with, but I still appreciate that this never feels harsh.”
