‘I got a £35 anti-ageing retinol oil for under £9 with this new beauty box’

Often referred to as 'the gold standard in anti-ageing skincare', vitamin A derivatives such as retinol, retinal and retinyl palmitate are proven to be effective at tackling signs of ageing such as fine lines, pigmentation and dullness – but products containing these potent ingredients can be pricey. Luckily I've found a way for you to try out vitamin A-based product that usually costs £35 for less than a tenner.
OK! Beauty Box's latest monthly subscription box, called the Dream Night In Edit, has just dropped, and I've had a first look at it. Inside you'll get five skincare and body products designed to create the perfect calming evening routine, including the aforementioned £35 anti-ageing face oil, luxurious muscle-easing gel and three different face masks.
Altogether the box costs £8.99 if you're a new subscriber to OK! Beauty Box, or £15 if you've already got a subscription, but the contents are worth over £90 – so you're paying a fraction of the value of even just one of the products inside.

The most expensive product in the box is the Disciple Dreamy Skin Retinyl Oil – which costs £35 on retailers such as Lookfantastic –and if you've always wanted to try a skincare product containing vitamin A, this is a great option. Retinyl palmitate is less potent than other forms such as retinol and retinal, meaning there's much less chance of irritation. It's also a lovely lightweight oil formula that nourished dry skin but soaks in quickly and doesn't feel greasy.
