We all know there is no fountain of youth to keep us young forever, but we can certainly slow down and prevent skin ageing, especially as several skincare products have been slashed in price on Amazon.
The 48-hour Amazon Prime Day sale offers exclusive discounts to Prime members but non-members can sign up for a free 30-day trial to enjoy the discounts and free delivery.
Retinol is a huge ingredient in the world of anti-ageing. Adored by dermatologists and skin experts, Medik8 has a range of award-winning Crystal Retinal eye creams which are in the Amazon Prime Day sale.
The mild Crystal Retinal Ceramide 3 Eye Cream with 0.03% retinal strength is reduced from £42 to £33.60 and it’s perfect for vitamin A beginners. The eye cream which shoppers call “magic in a tube” has been clinically proven to improve the signs of ageing around the eyes; smoothing the appearance of crow’s feet, visibly lifting and de-puffing eye contours and brightening dark circles by morning while remaining gentle on the skin.
Alternatively, French pharmacy beauty brand RoC has also gained approval from skincare buffs, thanks to its Retinol Correxion Line Smoothing Eye Cream. Loved by Hollywood stars like Sarah Jessica-Parker and Kim Kardashian, it’s available at LookFantastic with 25% off so you can get it for £20.99.
Shoppers reported a reduction of under-eye puffiness, dark circles and smoother eye wrinkles in just four weeks of consistent use, which led to a revitalised and brighter eye area.
Other than retinol, vitamin C also plays a crucial role in anti-ageing as it helps to brighten your overall complexion and reduce age spots. Bear in mind that vitamin C is best to apply in the morning while retinol works better at night.
Olay’s refillable Vitamin C Day Cream is currently better than half price at Amazon and Prime members can get it for £16.16 instead of £38. The formula contains antioxidant vitamin C and 99% pure niacinamide that penetrates deep to help activate surface cell renewal and it has SPF30 on top, which gives perfect sun protection for everyday use.
It’s been given high ratings by skincare lovers who raved about the non-greasy formula that leaves their skin feeling smooth and bright.
Meanwhile, Ole Henriksen has a popular Banana Bright range and the Instant Glow Moisturiser is a great option for those looking to revive dull skin. Boots shoppers can get this for £33.60 instead of £42 and Advantage Card members can collect 99 points with the purchase.
The affordable E45 Facial Hydrating Serum is now reduced to its lowest price ever on Amazon for £10.74.
Gentle to dry and sensitive skin as well as eczema-prone skin, the serum delivers an instant boost of hydration thanks to the clinically proven triple complex which contains hyaluronic acid, microalgae and sea water to protect the skin from drying out and provide moisture.
You can, alternatively, try Kiehl’s Ultra Pure High Potency Serum 1.5% Hyaluronic Acid and you can enjoy 10% off on Escentual. One fan said she’s “already on her third bottle” and enjoyed using it along with retinol to keep her skin from drying out.
