M&S shoppers say retailer's anti-ageing cream that’s like ‘8 hours sleep in a jar’ is ‘just like Clarins’

M&S shoppers have hailed an anti-ageing night cream that’s ‘like eight hours of sleep in a jar’.

The product has even been rated as ‘just like Clarins’, with one beauty fan saying they ‘can’t tell the difference’, reports Chronicle Live.

The high-street retailer’s Sleep & Replenish Ultimate Sleep Cream for £22.50 has been described as ‘luxurious’ and ‘perfect for mature skin’, reports Chronicle Live.

The cream comes in much cheaper than rivals such as the Clarins Super Restorative Night Cream, which is £84, saving shoppers more than £60.

M&S said: “Our Ultimate Sleep Cream is like eight hours of sleep in a jar. It’s formulated to work in harmony with your body's natural circadian rhythm to tackle dryness, dullness and deep wrinkles overnight.”

The retailer added: "From your first use, wake up to skin that feels nourished and rejuvenated, with visibly improved smoothness."

This product was previously known as Absolute Ultimate Sleep Cream, but the retailer has confirmed that it has the same formulation, just updated with a fresh new look, reports Chronicle Live.

M&S continued: "Ingredients include Olea Vitae™, a plant-based oil to support your skin cells, plus Matrixyl 3000®, a powerful peptide blend that helps to smooth wrinkles and improve tone and elasticity. You'll also find marula oil for its skin-maintaining fatty acids, and antioxidant niacinamide which is known for its anti-ageing properties."

The cream has received over 560 five-star reviews on the M&S website.

One buyer said: "Once you’ve used this luxurious night cream you won’t want another. It’s similar to a very expensive brand which costs £100 per pot which few can afford. The M&S Formula night cream is perfect for mature skins.”

Another shopper added: “Just like Clarins but £50 cheaper! I heard this was a fantastic cream so I use the night cream as a day cream and honestly can't tell the difference between Clarins day cream at £78 which I've used all my life. The money I could have saved!”

A further five-star review stated: "Love this cream. Smells beautiful and feels luxurious. Will definitely buy again."

Not everyone was sold on the cream despite a rating of 4.8 stars based on more than 660 reviews. Some said they simply preferred other, more expensive creams, while others liked it, but didn’t see many results.

One said: “It’s just o.k. It’s a bit too thick to spread evenly, and the perfume is not that pleasant. I don’t think I’ll buy again. I’ll go back to REN.”

A second added: “Although this cream is very pleasant to use, I can't really say I see much improvement in my appearance. Maybe, I'm just too old!”
