Finding the perfect skincare products for our complexion can feel like quite the challenge, particularly when signs of ageing begin to emerge. However, shoppers are singing the praises of a skincare duo from premium French anti-ageing brand Gatineau for delivering ‘instant’ results, with users claiming it has ‘changed my complexion for the best’ – particularly for those with more mature skin.
What’s more, beauty enthusiasts can currently save 22% on a Gatineau bundle, normally priced at £86, when purchased through home shopping retailer QVC. Now slashed to £66.96, the Gatineau Age Benefit Night Elixir and Cream Collection comprises an advanced overnight concentrate and a face cream formulated to help unveil smoother, firmer-looking skin.
The bundle features the brand’s much-loved Age Benefit Integral Regenerating Cream Dry Skin and Age Benefit Night Renewal Elixir, both developed specifically with more mature skin types in mind. For those seeking an even greater saving, QVC is offering new customers a further £5 off when they apply the code FIVE4U at checkout.
This bundle forms part of QVC’s Glowtopia campaign, which showcases its most-loved beauty brands through carefully curated edits, exclusive deals and more. The promotion runs until 30th June, reports Birmingham Live. Perfect for more mature complexions – QVC recommends for those aged 50 and above – the Age Benefit range tackles fine lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness, and lacklustre skin.
The Night Renewal Elixir has earned devotion for its ability to help revive a more youthful look – occasionally in as little as overnight – owing to its powerful blend of active ingredients, including cellynkage marine ingredient, artichoke leaf extract and hibiscus. Meanwhile, its multi-purpose Regenerating Cream refines texture, strengthens elasticity, and amplifies luminosity both morning and evening with a combination of artichoke leaf, hibiscus, red algae, calcium, sweet almond oil, avocado oil, and shea butter.

The Gatineau Age Benefit Night Elixir and Cream Collection comprises the Night Renewal Elixir and the Regenerating Cream.
These components work to diminish fine lines and resurface skin, while delivering parched skin with an intensive hit of vital hydration and radiance. While the cream is suitable for application in the morning and evening, the Night Renewal Elixir – as its name suggests – should be applied before an evening moisturiser to allow it to work its ‘magic’ while you rest.
Alternatively, Elemis’ Pro-Collagen Overnight Matrix provides a comparable outcome – though it commands a steeper price at £115. That said, it has been purposefully formulated to restore suppleness and bounce to the complexion during sleep, rendering it an outstanding choice for mature skin seeking swift firming results.
Elsewhere, Liz Earle’s SuperskinTM Advanced Firming Serum-in-Moisturiser, £49, has won praise for its botanical ingredients, including acacia tree extract, rosehip oil and linseed extract. It’s claimed to leave skin ‘more resilient, firmer and rejuvenated and the appearance of wrinkles and wrinkles reduced’ within a fortnight.
Gatineau’s Age Benefit Night Elixir and Cream Collection fits seamlessly into existing routines and has garnered rave reviews from skincare enthusiasts, earning a flawless five-star rating. The sole minor criticism noted by reviewers concerns the price tag, with some describing it as ‘expensive’. That said, the majority felt the outcomes justified the cost.
One five star testimonial raved: “This is an amazing product instant glowing results can’t tell you how Gatineau has changed my complexion for the best. I feel younger and so much more confident.”
Meanwhile another added: “Best night serum I have used, amazing results can be worn alone or before night moisturiser, texture is amazing and smells Devine , saw improvement to my skin after only 1 week of using , fine lines less noticeable and a lovely glow to my skin I would recommend this product definitely I used the night moisturiser on its own before which was fabulous but together is a game changer for me.”
Someone else noted: “Trust me you’ll feel and SEE the benefits of this. Absolutely a must ! My skin feels so smooth and radiant after. Love it.”
Commenting on the serum alone, one user shared: “This has to be the best serum I have ever used ! It’s absolutely a game changer. I saw my face light up when I woke up the morning after the first use . I don’t know the science behind it but I do know it actually WORKS!”
While another wrote: “The elixir is really amazing. It leaves my skin feeling hydrated, smooth and visibly refreshed. Moreover, I noticed improved elasticity of my skin. Must-have!”
“Bought this a while ago but only recently got around to using it. At first I thought I was going to be disappointed as being an elixir I thought it would feel quite rich on the skin,” one positive review began. “It absorbed very quickly and left a smooth matt finish. I applied age benefit on top. The following morning skin was smooth and hydrated. After using for several days my skin looked ‘cleaner’ . I then realised why. The various areas of pigmentation on my cheeks had faded. Quite remarkable. I use it every night now and wouldn’t want to be without. Really stunned by how good my skin is looking.”
This duo isn’t the only bargain on the QVC website as summer approaches. For those looking to achieve a sun-kissed, bronzed look that gives the impression they’ve just returned from a holiday abroad, the Laura Geller Supersize Bronze-N-Glow Baked Face and Body Bronzer has been slashed from £54 to £36. Coming in three shades, the compact delivers a radiant powder that builds up colour effortlessly, offering a luminous, glitter-free finish.
Those needing to top up their sun protection supplies can get their hands on the Ultrasun Sun Protection 4 Piece Home and Away Spray Collection for £49.92, down from £87. The set includes four of Ultrasun’s best-selling products, including its Face and Scalp UV Protection Mist, a 100ml and a 200ml bottle of the Sun Protection Spray, and an SPF30 lip balm.
