Many of us aspire to have the complexion and beauty of the likes of Bella Hadid and Jennifer Anniston. Well it seems that dream is not as far of a stretch as we may believe as a face cream from the brand beloved by these A-listers and more has had its price slashed to just £14.
Mario Badescu is a brand that has been spotted in the social media beauty cabinets of the likes of Kylie Jenner, Gwyneth Paltrow and Suki Waterhouse and so you can imagine our excitement when we saw its 'glowy' vitamin C face cream had been reduced by half price on Sephora.
Formulated for daytime use, the lightweight moisturisere - which is also available at Cult Beauty for £28 - contains 10% vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which is a hero in revitalizing dull, lacklustre skin. The anti-oxidant rich formula works to "visibly brighten tone, improve skin’s elasticity, and achieve a glowing, more youthful-looking complexion" - what more could you want?

Complete with niacinamide, carrot root extract, seed, rose hip and jojoba oil as well as a plethora of other vitamins (E, A and D), this cream works wonders in soothing inflamed, tired looking skin and gives you a dewy finish - perfect if you want that glass skin kind of look. It's also got the saucy ingredient of bakuchiol, which is a retinol alternative, that reduces not only hyperpigmentation but wrinkles too - although this means you cannot combine this product with other retinol or retinoid products, so keep that in mind.
It's no wonder this tub of complexion reviving cream, which usually costs £28, has received glowing reviews from beauty buffs across the country, with a star rating of 4.5.
One shopper raved about the product and said it left their skin 'so soft' almost immediately. They said: "I have to say this is one of my favourite products. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I bought it, but my face immediately felt different once using it. It makes my skin feel so soft.
"So much so that I was going up to family members telling them to feel my face because I couldn’t believe it. A week or two I saw that my face had more of a brightness, like a sun-kissed glow. The citrus smell is wonderful. I am really happy with this product and will definitely be purchasing again."
Another remarked: "I really love it,it makes my face so soft and I love the way it’s brightened it too."
A third declared: "Smooth as silk! The cream is easily absorbed and leaves skin looking dewy and refreshed. Great scent, as well. All in all, a #1 choice."
That being said, although a number of shoppers enjoyed the rich formula of this cream, some deemed it too "heavy". They reflected, alongside a three star review: "Feels heavy on my skin. Almost as if it just sits there for an hour or two before being absorbed in. I don't think I'll purchase again." Other people added how they didn't notice much of a difference in their complexion.
