‘Absolutely gorgeous. My skin is so soft after I use this and now after two weeks of using every day I can see my fine lines are softer and much less obvious’
Dealing with dull, parched and ageing skin can really dent your self-esteem. However, beauty enthusiasts are raving about a radiance-boosting day cream from Rodial—a brand rumoured to be loved by Princess Kate—which has just had its price slashed.
Delivering a ‘luminous, hydrated glow’, the Rodial Pink Diamond Magic Gel Day is a featherweight gel-cream formula designed to moisturise, brighten and refine the complexion.
The moisturiser typically sells for £65 for a 50ml jar, but with a 46% discount it’s now available for just £35. Ideal for daytime application, the cream is enriched with collagen-stimulating peptides (to enhance the skin’s natural renewal process) and niacinamide, which combine to boost elasticity, tone, and tackle blemishes, delivering ‘a radiant, filter-like finish’.
True to its name, its most opulent and intriguing ingredient is the soft-focus diamond powder, which utilises genuine, finely ground crushed diamond (transformed into powder form) to create a luminous, soft-focus appearance on the complexion, reports Birmingham Live.
The moisturiser belongs to the brand’s Pink Diamond Range, with all products designed to lift, firm, and illuminate the skin. Detailing the science behind it, the brand explains: “At the heart of this range is soft-focus diamond powder, which reflects light for a luminous, camera-ready complexion.

The Rodial Pink Diamond Magic Gel Day is a lightweight day cream formulated with collagen-boosting peptides, diamond powder, vitamin C and more.
“It works alongside Vitamin C to brighten dull skin, retinol to smooth fine lines, and peptides to visibly firm and lift. Niacinamide helps refine pores and even tone, while the lightweight textures absorb beautifully-ideal for layering under makeup or wearing on their own for a radiant finish.”
Beyond the diamond powder, the gel cream also features moisturising heroes Skin Tightener ST and squalane, which condition and calm skin whilst smoothing it out.
If this particular moisturiser doesn’t quite hit the mark, Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Water Cream makes for a strong alternative. Featuring bio-peptide complex and light-reflecting technology, it delivers a comparable hydrating, blurred and luminous effect.
At standard price, it does cost slightly more than the Rodial Pink Diamond Magic Gel Day cream at £79 for a 50ml pot, but it boasts a 100-hour hydration guarantee and some ‘dewy, glass-like’ outcomes.
Much like Rodial’s formulation, this Magic Water Cream works brilliantly for priming skin before makeup application, as it provides that ‘lit-from-within’ canvas. For those seeking a more wallet-friendly option, the No7 Protect and Perfect Intense ADVANCED Day Cream SPF15 is priced at £27.95 and has been designed to tackle visible fine lines and wrinkles.
Featuring Matrixyl 3000 PlusTM (the brand’s collagen peptide-based technology), the formula assists the skin’s natural renewal and firmness. It’s also lightweight and sinks in quickly, making it an ideal canvas for makeup application – and it includes SPF15, which is crucial throughout the year.
However, with Rodial’s current sale running, it’s an opportune moment to snap up the moisturiser at a reduced price. Customers who’ve already experienced the Rodial Pink Diamond Magic Gel Day cream have expressed their enthusiasm for it, awarding it an impressive 4.9-star rating overall.
One enthusiastic review stated: “Absolutely gorgeous. My skin is so soft after I use this and now after two weeks of using every day I can see my fine lines are softer and much less obvious. Just love it …and it smells beautiful.”
Another customer raved: “The best day cream ever! For me it’s a game changer.”
A third reviewer observed: “This is an absolutely beautiful treat for your skin. Rodial Pink Diamond is a lightweight gel/cream that hydrates, brightens, and smooths. It’s infused with collagen and other lovely ingredients that help boost skin to leave it with a dewy glow. I’ve had so many compliments since I started using it.”
Whilst the product has garnered several four-star reviews, the criticisms haven’t been particularly harsh—one reviewer mentioned they’d only been using it for a fortnight so couldn’t properly assess the outcomes, whilst another commented that the quantity of product in the container was less than anticipated.
Regarding its skin-firming benefits, one delighted customer gushed: “Another fab product so happy I tried this use with dragons blood sculpting gel. My skin is glowing and feels firmer,” whilst another enthused: “This day gel really is magic. Absolutely love this. It feels so gorgeous to apply, leaves my skin glowing and makeup sits really nicely over it. My new go to day cream.”
The Pink Diamond Magic Gel Day cream is currently available for purchase at Rodial.
