Elizabeth Arden has launched an early Singles' Day sale, offering 30% off sitewide on its website. Using the exclusive code RPLC30, shoppers can buy cult-favourite staples such as the Eight Hour Cream and Ceramide capsules at a reduced price.
The beauty brand is also allowing customers to stack savings with gifts: spending £100 after discount triggers a free 'Little Icons' gift set (worth £28), while spending £130 adds a 15ml Eight Hour Ultimate Repair cream (worth £23) to baskets while stocks last. Orders over £20 qualify for free delivery, and shoppers can choose two complimentary samples.
What's Inside the Little Icons Gift Set?
The Little Icons set is a curated six-piece collection of the brand's top-performing hero formulas in travel-ready sizes. It includes mini editions of the Prevage Anti-Aging Daily Serum 2.0 and Eye Serum 2.0, the Retinol + HPR Ceramide Rapid Skin Renewing Water Cream, and a seven-piece pod of Retinol + HPR Ceramide Capsules.
The set also features two cold-weather saviours: the Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant balm and the Eight Hour Cream HydraPlay Skin Perfecting Daily Moisturiser.
Best Elizabeth Arden Products to Shop
To reach the £100 or £130 spending thresholds, stocking up on full-size skincare staples is the quickest way forward. The Advanced Ceramide Capsules Daily Youth Restoring Serum, priced at £37.10 (was £53), are biodegradable golden capsules designed to address multiple signs of ageing, delivering nourishment and firmness. Each single-use pod contains a measured dose of ceramides, essential fatty acids, and cholesterol, replenishing lost moisture and restoring plumpness. Elizabeth Arden claims the serum offers visible improvements in as little as seven days.
The Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant, priced at £21.70 (was £31), has been a high-street staple since 1930. The petroleum- and lanolin-based formula calms windburn, heals cracked winter knuckles, locks moisture into dry lips, and can be dabbed onto cheekbones for a glossy highlight.
The Prevage Anti-Ageing Daily Serum 2.0, priced at £94.50 (was £135), targets dark spots, uneven skin tone, and dullness. Powered by idebenone, it forms a shield against urban pollution and sun-induced damage while brightening the complexion.
Alternatives and Shopper Reviews
Other beauty retailers have also started early seasonal sales. Boots has launched its own offers with price drops across luxury skincare, festive gift boxes, and extra Advantage Card point promotions. Lookfantastic is offering 22% off selected luxury skincare with code FLASH22, plus up to 50% off fragrances from brands like Valentino and Givenchy.
Shoppers have shared positive reviews of the Elizabeth Arden products. One Advanced Ceramide Capsules user said: "Wow, my skin changed immediately. It smooths over so easily. It looks like an oil, but it isn't, and it isn't oily; it soaks right in." Another added: "In a week, there were already positive changes in my facial skin. The skin has become smoother and more elastic. Wrinkles have decreased noticeably."
One user noted: "I've used these capsules for a couple of years intermittently. They have helped to keep fines lines away and enhance the glow of my skin. I have never used Botox or fillers or an other type of enhancement and yet people always compliment my clear youthful complexion." However, one person said: "Yes it is good and I like the packaging but I couldn't say it's had a massive impact on my skin."
A Prevage Anti-Ageing Daily Serum 2.0 user shared: "Within two weeks of daily use, my dull complexion looked significantly brighter, more even, and my fine lines around my forehead seemed blurred. It sits beautifully under foundation without causing any pilling or shine." Another mixed review read: "The antioxidant power is definitely there - it gave my skin a fresh, healthy radiance after a couple of weeks, and the pump dispenser keeps the active ingredients fresh. However, idebenone is potent, and it did cause slight tingling and redness when I first introduced it."
An Eight Hour Cream fan wrote: "In winter, it is my absolute desert-island product. It completely cures cracked knuckles, heals painful chapped lips overnight, and calms down windburn and dry eczema patches like magic."
