Marks and Spencer shoppers hail €30 anti-ageing cream that’s like ‘8 hours sleep in a jar’

Marks and Spencer shoppers have hailed an anti-ageing night cream that’s ‘like eight hours of sleep in a jar’.

The skincare product has even been rated as ‘better than Clarins’ by customers, with one saying they ‘can’t tell the difference’. The Sleep & Replenish Ultimate Sleep Cream has received hundreds of five star reviews from customers, who describe it as ‘luxurious’ and ‘perfect for mature skin’.

The cream, which is priced at €30, 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.

Marks and Spencer 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.”

Many shoppers who used the night cream have been left impressed, with one writing: “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 said: “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!”

While a third wrote: “This is a product that feels rich and luxurious but also works. I can go to bed looking a complete wreck and wake up looking quite fresh-faced. I love it.”

The ingredients in the M&S skincare saviour aim to recharge and revive skin while you sleep, including Olea Vitae - a plant-based oil to support skin cells - plus Matrixyl 3000, which is a powerful peptide blend that helps to smooth wrinkles and improve tone and elasticity.

Other hero ingredients include marula oil for its skin-maintaining fatty acids, and antioxidant niacinamide which is known for its anti-ageing properties.

Despite a near-perfect rating of 4.8 stars based on more than 600 reviews, not everyone was completely sold. 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 customer said: “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!”
