Beauty enthusiasts across the UK have a compelling reason to celebrate this festive season, as premium skincare brand Medik8 launches an enticing early Boxing Day promotion. The brand is offering a substantial 35% discount on its highly praised 'Sleep Glycolic' overnight treatment, famously dubbed a 'facial in a bottle'. This limited-time deal allows shoppers to snap up the product for just £39, down from its usual price, for a 30ml tube that promises up to 60 applications.
What Makes This Peel a Standout Buy?
The Medik8 Sleep Glycolic treatment is formulated with a potent 10% active glycolic acid, an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) designed to exfoliate the skin. The brand claims it delivers visible results after a single use, working overnight to smooth texture, reduce the appearance of lines, and brighten the complexion without the typical redness or irritation associated with chemical peels.
A key technological feature is its 'crystal encapsulation', which allows for a gradual release of the AHA. This method aims to keep the formula comfortable and balanced on the skin throughout the night. Additional ingredients include Korean clover extract and glycerin to support the skin's barrier.
How to Use and What to Expect
Medik8 recommends a simple, three-step process for optimal results. Users should cleanse their face in the evening, then apply a pea-sized amount to the face and neck, carefully avoiding the eye area. It can be followed by other serums and a moisturiser before being left on overnight. The brand strongly advises wearing sunscreen the following day due to increased sun sensitivity.
The formula is designed for use two to three times per week. It contains no artificial fragrances or synthetic colours, is fully recyclable, and is certified by the Vegan Society, confirming it contains no animal-derived ingredients.
Rave Reviews from Satisfied Shoppers
Customer feedback for the Sleep Glycolic treatment has been overwhelmingly positive. One five-star reviewer reported, "My face skin responded very positively... After a month of use, I noticed several improvements: minimised pores, smoother forehead wrinkles, fewer comedones, and a gradual improvement in overall skin texture."
Another customer exclaimed it "changed the appearance of my skin after one use", while a third described it as a "true game-changer" that delivered an immediate glow with zero irritation. Some users with sensitive skin noted it could be potent, suggesting a cautious approach when first introducing it into a routine.
Exploring Alternative Skincare Options
For those considering other products, Charlotte Tilbury's Super Radiance Resurfacing Facial, priced at £52, offers a combination of AHA and salicylic acid for surface and pore refinement. On a more budget-friendly note, Boots sells the No7 Total Renewal Micro-Dermabrasion Face Exfoliator (75ml) for £9.95, which uses micro-crystals to slough away dull cells.
However, the current 35% saving on Medik8's professional-grade offering presents a significant opportunity for shoppers seeking clinical-level results from an at-home treatment. As this is a limited-time Boxing Day sale, the discount is not expected to last long.
