‘My under-eye area looks smoother, more refreshed, and fine lines are less noticeable’
With the New Year here, there’s never been a better time to implement new habits, such as establishing their fresh skincare routine. To aid in crafting an effective regime, science-backed skincare brand Medik8 has launched a winter sale , offering up to 40% off selected items – but not for long.
With the promotion running until 9am on January 5, one product that beauty aficionados have been snapping up is the Intelligent Retinol Eye TR . Medik8 claims the high-performance serum softens visible signs of ageing around the eyes.
A 7ml bottle typically retails at £24 and provides around 150 applications, according to the site, but the sale has seen its price slashed to £14.40 . Used day and night for 75 days, that works out at less than 19p per day.
In addition to retinol – a form of vitamin A known to stimulate cell turnover and collagen production – the formula includes climbazole and the brand’s Time Release technology, ensuring enduring effects throughout the night. Medik8 advises applying a small amount to the brow bone and under-eye area each night, steering clear of the eyelids, and following up with a moisturiser – though users should gradually introduce the application over four weeks.
Another crowd-pleaser is the Intelligent Retinol Smoothing Night Cream , which has been marked down from £60 to £42 for a 50ml jar that offers roughly 60 uses. This product’s formula is crafted to deeply nourish, with retinol providing gentle exfoliation and antioxidants neutralising free radicals that can lead to skin damage and ageing.

Enhanced with climbazole (a proven retinol booster) and Medik8’s Time Release technology, this fragrance-free formula works to effectively improve the appearance of skin texture and minimise the look of fine lines around the eyes – all while remaining gentle on the delicate eye area.
Meanwhile, Boots has slashed the cost of this Kiehl’s Vitamin C eye serum from £47 to £37.60 for a 15ml bottle. The formula contains 10% pure vitamin C to help diminish signs of ageing skin, alongside deeply hydrating hyaluronic acid and a tri-peptide complex to progressively reduce the appearance of dark circles, reports the Manchester Evening News .
Superdrug is offering an impressive price on this Olay Retinol24 Max face moisturiser, with a 50ml pot now £21.99, down from £43.99. The brand claims the night cream hydrates, smoothes, and restores the skin’s radiance through its retinoid and vitamin B3 formulation.
Returning to Medik8, numerous customers have shared their experiences, with one reviewer commenting on the Eye TR serum: “I love how the skin around my eyes looks and feels after using this eye product. Wrinkles are softened and I can see an improvement.”
Another customer added: “This eye serum feels so comfortable and absorbs beautifully without irritation. My under-eye area looks smoother, more refreshed, and fine lines are less noticeable, and I’m so happy with the results that I’ve decided to try the Eye Retinal as my next step!”
A third customer offered their thoughts, noting: “I think it will be good, but you have to be very careful when applying as it can run in your eyes.”
One customer who bought the Smoothing Night Cream shared their experience: “I like to use this on nights when I want to give my sensitive skin a bit of a break from the crystal retinal. It has a slight medicinal scent to it, and something of a gritty texture that I don’t know that my sensitive skin loves, but I do like the plushness of the cream and how it doesn’t leave my skin greasy.”
Another left glowing feedback: “Great product, I could already see results the next morning after the first use. I noticed a reduction in swelling, bruises, and an overall improvement in skin quality.”
The Medik8 winter sale continues until 9am on 5 January, offering up to 40% off selected products.
