The Amazon Prime Big Deals Day sees tonnes of Medik8 skincare products slashed by up to £30, including the hyaluronic acid and the r-Retinoate Day and Night Cream
As a beauty writer, I get to try out plenty of different skincare products, but Medik8 is one of those brands that will almost always be a staple in my daily routine. I will, however, readily admit sometimes the price tags can be a little on the high side, which is why the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days are the perfect time to stock up on the brand.
There are currently tonnes of different Medik8 products included in the Prime Day sales, from cleansers and toners to hyaluronic acids and the lauded r-Retinoate Day and Night Cream, all of which have at least 20% off. If you’re keen to add some Medik8 to your skincare routine, these are the four products I’m shopping this Prime Day.

Medik8 r-Retinoate Youth Activating Day and Night Cream – was £149, now £119.20
This is one of those that’s usually a major splurge, but if you can’t live without it, now is the time to get your hands on it with £30 off. Doubling as both a day and night cream, the r-Retinoate cream contains photostable retinyl retinoate which doesn’t lose its power when exposed to sunlight. Not only does it smooth fine lines and wrinkles, but it also revitalises your skin and visibly illuminates it, with all the benefits of vitamin A, vitamin C and hyaluronic acid in one product.

Medik8 Hydr8 B5 Intense Supercharged Multi-Weight Hyaluronic Acid Serum – was £59, now £47.20
Last but certainly not least is my favourite Medik8 product of all time, the Hyaluronic Acid Serum. A staple in any skincare routine, it has super long-lasting hydration, as well as plumping up your skin and leaving it visibly bouncy and firm.
PROS:
Incredibly hydrating
Improves hydration both instantly and over time

CONS:
Need to use around six drops each time you use it so doesn’t last super long
Need to wait a while for it to absorb before you can apply moisturiser to avoid pilling
