Finding the right skincare products for our complexion can be quite the quest, especially when it starts to show the signs of ageing. But shoppers are hailing a skincare duo by premium French anti-ageing brand Gatineau for 'instant' results that leaves users saying it 'changed my complexion for the best' - especially for more mature shoppers.
What's more is beauty fans can get 22% off a Gatineau bundle, which is typically priced at £86, when they buy it via home shopping retailer QVC. Now reduced to £66.96, the Gatineau Age Benefit Night Elixir and Cream Collection is made up of an advanced overnight concentrate and a face cream designed to help reveal smoother, firmer skin. These are the brand's beloved Age Benefit Integral Regenerating Cream Dry Skin and Age Benefit Night Renewal Elixir, which have been crafted with more mature skin in mind.
For those who want even more money off, QVC is offering new customers an additional £5 off when they enter the code FIVE4U at checkout. This bundle is part of QVC's Glowtopia campaign, which celebrates its most-loved beauty brands through curated edits, exclusive offers and more. This is running until June 30.
Perfect for Mature Skin
QVC shares that the Age Benefit collection is suitable for ages 50 and over. It targets fine lines, wrinkles, sagging, and dullness. The Night Renewal Elixir is loved for helping restore a youthful appearance - sometimes as quick as overnight - thanks to its formula that contains a potent mix of ingredients like cellynkage marine ingredient, artichoke leaf extract and hibiscus.
Meanwhile its versatile Regenerating Cream smooths texture, boosts elasticity, and enhances radiance day and night with its concoction of artichoke leaf, hibiscus extracts, red algae extract, calcium, sweet almond oil, avocado oil and shea butter. These ingredients work to soften fine lines and retexturise skin, while injecting dry skin with a intense dose of essential moisture and brightness.
Product Details
The Gatineau Age Benefit Night Elixir and Cream Collection comprises the Night Renewal Elixir and the Regenerating Cream. While the cream can be used both morning and night, the Night Renewal Elixir - as its name suggests - is for use before a nighttime moisturiser to allow it to work its 'magic' while you sleep.
If this particular formula isn't hitting the mark, Elemis' Pro-Collagen Overnight Matrix offers a similar result - although its more expensive at £115. That said, it has been specifically designed to restore elasticity and bounce to the skin during sleep, making it an excellent match for mature skin looking for rapid firming.
Elsewhere, Liz Earle's Superskin Advanced Firming Serum-in-Moisturiser, £49, is loved for its botanical ingredients like acacia tree extract, rosehip oil and linseed extract. It's said to leave skin 'more resilient, firmer and rejuvenated and the appearance of wrinkles and wrinkles reduced' in two weeks. As a 2-in-1, it also removes the need for an additional 'elixir' or serum.
Customer Reviews
Although Gatineau's Age Benefit Night Elixir and Cream Collection is easy to slot into already established routines and has received glowing reviews from skincare buffs with a perfect five star rating - the only minor critique mentioned by reviewers is the price point, with some calling it 'expensive'. That said, most felt the results made it worth the investment.
One five star testimonial raved: "This is an amazing product instant glowing results can't tell you how Gatineau has changed my complexion for the best I feel younger and so much more confident."
Meanwhile another added: "Best night serum I have used, amazing results can be worn alone or before night moisturiser, texture is amazing and smells Devine, saw improvement to my skin after only 1 week of using, fine lines less noticeable and a lovely glow to my skin I would recommend this product definitely I used the night moisturiser on its own before which was fabulous but together is a game changer for me."
Someone else noted: "Trust me you'll feel and SEE the benefits of this. Absolutely a must! My skin feels so smooth and radiant after. Love it."
Commenting on the serum alone, one user shared: "This has to be the best serum I have ever used! It's absolutely a game changer. I saw my face light up when I woke up the morning after the first use. I don't know the science behind it but I do know it actually WORKS!"
While another wrote: "The elixir is really amazing. It leaves my skin feeling hydrated, smooth and visibly refreshed. Moreover, I noticed improved elasticity of my skin. Must-have!"
"Bought this a while ago but only recently got around to using it. At first I thought I was going to be disappointed as being an elixir I thought it would feel quite rich on the skin," one positive review began. "It absorbed very quickly and left a smooth matt finish. I applied age benefit on top. The following morning skin was smooth and hydrated. After using for several days my skin looked 'cleaner'. I then realised why. The various areas of pigmentation on my cheeks had faded. Quite remarkable. I use it every night now and wouldn't want to be without. Really stunned by how good my skin is looking."
