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 are the perfect time to stock up on the brand.
There are currently tonnes of different 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 to your skincare routine, these are the four products I’m shopping this Prime Day.
