The quest for a skincare routine that genuinely delivers results can be a challenge, particularly when fine lines, wrinkles and other signs of ageing start to appear. However, shoppers have been raving about a bestselling duo from French skincare brand Gatineau, claiming it transformed their skin almost instantly. Users say the products have “changed my complexion for the best”, with results restoring radiance and firmness to mature skin.
Better still, beauty enthusiasts can save 22% on a Gatineau bundle, ordinarily priced at £86, when purchasing through home shopping retailer QVC. Now available for £66.96, the Gatineau Age Benefit Night Elixir and Cream Collection comprises an advanced overnight concentrate and a face cream designed to unveil smoother, firmer-looking skin.
The set includes the brand’s much-loved Age Benefit Integral Regenerating Cream Dry Skin and Age Benefit Night Renewal Elixir, both crafted with more mature skin in mind.
For those seeking even greater savings, QVC is offering new customers an extra £5 off when they enter the code FIVE4U at checkout. This bundle forms part of QVC’s Glowtopia campaign, which showcases its most-loved beauty brands through carefully curated edits, exclusive deals and much more.
The campaign runs until 30th June, reports Birmingham Live.
Ideal for mature skin, QVC’s Age Benefit collection — tailored for those aged 50 and over — targets fine lines, wrinkles, sagging, and dullness. The Night Renewal Elixir is highly regarded for its ability to restore a more youthful appearance — sometimes overnight — thanks to its powerful blend of ingredients, including cellynkage marine ingredient, artichoke leaf extract, and hibiscus.
Meanwhile, the Regenerating Cream smooths skin texture, boosts elasticity, and enhances radiance and can be used both day and night. Its makeup combines artichoke leaf, hibiscus extracts, red algae extract, calcium, sweet almond oil, avocado oil, and shea butter. These ingredients work together to soften fine lines and resurface skin, while delivering an intense surge of essential moisture and luminosity to dry skin.
The Night Renewal Elixir — as its name implies — is designed to be applied before a night-time moisturiser, allowing it to work its magic while users sleep.
Should this particular formula fall short of expectations, Elemis’ Pro-Collagen Overnight Matrix delivers equally impressive results — though it comes at a steeper price of £115. Nevertheless, it has been specifically formulated to restore elasticity and firmness to the skin during sleep, making it an outstanding option for mature skin seeking swift and visible tightening.
Meanwhile, Liz Earle’s SuperskinTM Advanced Firming Serum-in-Moisturiser, £49, has earned praise for its botanical formula featuring acacia tree extract, rosehip oil and linseed extract. It’s claimed to leave skin ‘more resilient, firmer and rejuvenated and the appearance of wrinkles and wrinkles reduced’ within a fortnight.
As a 2-in-1 product, it also eliminates the requirement for a separate ‘elixir’ or serum.
However, Gatineau’s Age Benefit Night Elixir and Cream Collection should integrate seamlessly into existing routines, and it has earned enthusiastic feedback from skincare fans with a flawless five-star rating – the sole minor criticism noted by reviewers concerns the cost, with some describing it as ‘expensive’. Nevertheless, most believed the outcomes justified the expenditure.

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.”
Another added: “Best night serum I have used, amazing results can be worn alone or before night moisturiser, texture is amazing and smells divine.
“Saw improvement to my skin after only 1 week of using, fine lines less noticeable and a lovely glow to my skin. I would definitely recommend this product. I used the night moisturiser on its own before, which was fabulous, but together it’s a game changer for me.”
One customer remarked: “Trust me you’ll feel and SEE the benefits of this. Absolutely a must! My skin feels so smooth and radiant after. Love it.”
Reviewing the serum specifically, another 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 a further reviewer 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!”
One glowing assessment added: “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.”
They continued: “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 it 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.”
This pair isn’t the only markdown available on the QVC website in the run-up to summer. For those hoping to recreate a sun-kissed radiance that suggests they’ve just returned from a tropical getaway, the Laura Geller Supersize Bronze-N-Glow Baked Face and Body Bronzer has been slashed from £54 to £36.
Available in three shades, the compact is a radiant powder that offers a buildable colour and a luminous, glitter-free finish.
Those requiring a sun protection restock can purchase the Ultrasun Sun Protection 4 Piece Home and Away Spray Collection for £49.92, reduced from £87. The set includes four bestselling Ultrasun products, featuring its Face and Scalp UV Protection Mist, both a 100ml and 200ml bottle of the Sun Protection Spray, and an SPF30 lip balm.
