The most wonderful time of year looks different for everyone. For some, it’s the Christmas holiday season. However, ask any beauty enthusiast and editor, and they’ll likely collectively respond with the same answer: Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Several brands use the few days after Thanksgiving to treat their bestselling SKUs to a hefty discount, and one brand high on beauty wishlists is the UK-beloved Medik8.
Medik8, a popular British skin care brand, has rapidly gained recognition among industry experts, beauty editors, and dedicated skin care enthusiasts. Although the advent of a skin care brand isn’t always well-received, Medik8’s presence has been met with praise, particularly for its effective Crystal Retinal collection, plumping Liquid Peptides, and the ELLE-approved Super C Ferulic. Each product under the brand’s umbrella combines clinical and consumer research to bring you the best-in-class ingredients straight from the company’s in-house lab. If Medik8 has ever been on your radar, its Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales present the perfect opportunity to take the British skin care brand for a spin.
Starting November 24 to December 3, Medik8 is offering 30 percent off all full-sized products—yes, that includes the aforementioned formulas, as well as other standouts like the Lipid Balance Cleansing Oil, Ultimate Recovery Bio-Cellulose Mask, and Crystal Retinal Eye Cream. Additionally, if you spend over $140, you’ll get a complimentary travel-sized Hydr8 B5 Intense and C-Tetra Luxe. The discount is not offered on any skin bundles or accessories.
To help you cut through the noise, we compiled a list of the best Medik8 products to shop during the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale. Your skin will thank you.
