Beauty lovers have been raving about Medik8’s ‘luxurious’ hydrating night cream that’s said to leave your skin feeling softer and bouncier when you wake up in the morning
As autumn starts to arrive, it’s time to give your skincare routine a little overhaul ready for the change in weather and the colder temperatures. That means reintroducing slightly heavier, thicker moisturisers that are ideal for combatting the low humidity and drying winds that are synonymous with autumn.
One face cream that’s been hailed as ‘luxurious’ by shoppers is Medik8’s Advanced Night Restore which is perfect for introducing during the colder months. The cream nourishes and hydrates, helping counteract the drying effects the autumn weather has on your skin, and leaves your skin feeling softer and bouncier the next day.

It’s priced at £60 for a full size 50ml tub, while a travel sized 12.5ml tub is £20. However new Medik8 shoppers can save 15% on their first purchase, which would slash the full size one down to £51.
The Advanced Night Restore has been specially designed to be used after vitamin A products like retinol or retinal in the evening, which means it’s packed full of nourishing, hydrating and restoring ingredients. It replenishes essential lipids that have been lost over time and boosts your skin’s comfort, whilst also plumping and firming it.
As well as its intensive hydration, the Medik8 Advanced Night Restore cream also helps reduce signs of ageing, reducing stubborn wrinkles and lifting skin in just seven days according to the brand’s research. The plumping effect helps smooth out fine lines, and supports your skin’s natural barrier, making it a great all-round moisturiser to add into your routine.
Other intensely hydrating night creams that are shopper-approved include the ELEMIS Superfood Midnight Facial which is currently on sale at Sephora down from £48 to £36.95, whilst Clinique’s Moisture Surge 100H Auto-Replenishing Hydrator comes in five different sizes to suit all budgets. Elsewhere, Space NK stocks Tatcha’s Indigo Overnight Repair which soothes irritated skin and strengthens your skin’s natural barrier, making it ideal for the drying weather conditions.
However Medik8 shoppers have been raving about the Advanced Night Restore, rating it a huge 4.9 out of 5 stars. With 3759 five star ratings out of a total of 4003, it seems to be a pretty universal favourite amongst beauty lovers.
One wrote: “I love the way Advanced Night Ceramide makes my skin feel and the luxurious moisture it provides. I wake up with hydrated, bouncy skin – it far surpasses other moisturizers I’ve tried.”
A second wrote: “Excellent cream for the autumn-winter period. It not only moisturizes, but also nourishes and restores the skin well. Thanks to it, peeling went away after a couple of uses. The skin in the morning is tender, soft, nourished.”
The few reviewers who weren’t as pleased wrote: “Nice cream, I’m not totally convinced that it suits my skin though. Might be a bit heavy for me.”
Whilst another added: “For winter, I don’t think this product alone provides enough moisture (I use it after the retinol 10). I have had to mix it with other products which is disappointing.”
Others also found it didn’t agree with their complexion, writing: “My skin did feel softer and more moisturized at first, but unfortunately I have psoriasis and sensitive skin and it did irritate it after a couple of uses.”
However others raved about the Advanced Night Restore, with one happy shopper saying: “I am really enjoying using the Advanced Night Restore cream. It’s beautiful and rich but not heavy and greasy like some night creams I have used in the past. I really dislike creams that just sit on the surface leaving the skin feeling ‘sticky’, rather than soaking in. This night cream is not that, this night cream soaks in and leaves my skin feeling soft, hydrated and a little bit bouncier the next day. I have repurchased and it is now a staple in my night time routine.”
