Beauty enthusiasts across the UK are reportedly postponing their cosmetic injection appointments after discovering a bestselling serum from Medik8 that's currently on sale. The brand's Liquid Peptides 30% Complex Multi-Peptide Age-Defying Serum has developed a loyal following who credit it with delivering noticeable smoothing and brightening effects.
The Science Behind The Serum
Now available for just £44.25 instead of £59, representing a 25% saving, this clinically-backed formula targets early signs of ageing. According to an independent eight-week consumer study involving 60 participants, the serum demonstrates visible fine line smoothing within just seven days of use.
The product combines ten peptides in a concentrated 30% blend designed to slow and prevent the formation of fine lines. Medik8 explains that the formula works by supporting the skin's natural renewal processes while employing what they term 'drone-targeted technology' to deliver peptides precisely where they're most needed.
Customer Reactions And Alternatives
The Medik8 website shows an impressive 4.9 out of five-star rating based on nearly 2,000 reviews. One satisfied customer shared: "It's normally the time I would get Botox and I literally can put it off! I get compliments on my skin frequently."
Another reviewer noted: "Lovely consistency and this is effective, I'm on my third bottle," while acknowledging that the product doesn't last as long as they'd like.
Beyond its line-smoothing benefits, the serum also improves hydration by boosting the skin's natural hyaluronic acid levels. The brand recommends applying six drops to the face, neck and décolletage both morning and evening after cleansing.
For those seeking alternatives, Boots currently offers the L’Oreal Paris Age Perfect Serum Le Duo 30ml for £18.99, reduced from £37.99, while LookFantastic stocks the more luxurious Zelens Youth Intelligence Age-Defying Serum at £91, down from £130.
Skincare Routine Integration
The serum's key ingredients include collagen peptide boosters alongside vitamins B3 and C to enhance radiance. Users should allow the product to absorb fully before applying moisturiser, integrating it seamlessly into their existing skincare regimen.
While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, some users reported more subtle results. One customer mentioned: "I've been using Medik8 Liquid Peptides consistently for a few weeks now, and while I haven't seen dramatic changes yet, I'm impressed by the texture and how easily it absorbs into the skin."
Nevertheless, the current sale price of under £45 makes this an attractive option for those looking to enhance their anti-ageing routine without immediate resort to more invasive procedures.
