Beauty buffs who look to celebrities for skincare inspiration are in for a treat this Black Friday as a plethora of A-list-approved products have been reduced majorly for Black Friday - including a relatively affordable moisturiser loved by none other than Hailey Bieber.
Hailed as a bit of a holy grail for soothing inflammed skin as well as protecting and repairing the skin's natural barrier, Avène Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream has been discovered in recent years to be the model's go-to skincare product when her complexion is in need of TLC - she said it was her "forever and always" product. It's also been approved by skincare expert Andrew Wheatcroft.
While a 100ml tube of the stuff usually retails at a mere £16 on Lookfantastic, in the retailer's Black Friday sale it can be snapped up for £10.72 - that's 33% off.

Described as 'ideal for weakened or sensitive skin', the cream "helps to protect the skin from further damage caused by environmental aggressors, creating a dressing-like film over the sensitivity." Crafted with a powerful postbiotic [C-Restore]™ complex that is rich in Avene thermal spring water, it has anti-inflammatory benefits and soothes - not just the skin on your face.
It's also a bit of a multi-tasking whizz and can be used to provide comfort for nappy areas, sunburn, the appearance of scars, localised dryness and even post-waxing.
The multi-tasking Cicalfate+ cream, which is the same price at Boots, has received a near perfect star rating of 4.9 on Lookfantastic, showcasing that it's not just Hailey Bieber who's a fan of the cream, with one shopper gushing: "The best one. I like it better than cicaplast. I use this one on my face and also on my body. It’s amazing after shaving and I also noticed less ingrown hairs since I started using this. It is also perfect as a makeup base. It absorbs quickly and is not leaving an oily feeling at all."
Another hailed it as a great product for getting that 'glass skin' look. They said: "I have been using this cream as a face cream for a few years now. I absolutely love it.It's so thick and does not irritate my very sensitive skin. Leaves me with glass skin. You do need to put SPF on top of it."
One shopper has ditched all other moisturisers in favour of this one and said: "This product has replaced all the moisturises that I have used and tried thus far. It's a little bit thick on the hands but it blends on the face so nicely and it doesn't leave a white cast and it leaves my face so smooth and gives it a healthy glow without looking shiny."
The thick consistency hasn't been enjoyed by all, however, as one four star reviewer shared: "It feels very heavy and greasy on the skin but it does do the job."
For a lighter cream, you could try out the Avène Hydrance Hydrating Cream which contains shea butter and Avène Thermal Spring Water to gently restore, hydrate and soften the complexion - whilst minimising the appearance of fine lines. With 50% off in the sale, it's down from £19.00 to £9.50, as is its sister product the Avène Hydrance Light Hydrating Emulsion Moisturiser for Dehydrated Skin.
This 'rich facial moisturiser' uses 'naturally active spring water to mimic the eye's moisturising system and deliver long lasting hydration to dry skin', transforming lack-lustre complexions to one which glows with youthful hydration.
Also included in the brand's Lookfantastic reductions are some of its gift sets, including the Avène Hydrance Hydrating Duo which is reduced to £34.67 from £51.75. Two piece set consists of the Hydrance Aqua-Gel Hydrating Cream-in Gel and Hydrance Boost Serum which both use the powers of Thermal Spring Water to deliver 'instant and long-lasting moisture to the skin'.
Want to test out a few of its products before taking the plunge and investing in full sized tubes? Its Avène Moisturising And Calming 3-Step Routine For Very Sensitive Skin is currently on offer for £16.75 down from £25 at Lookfantastic and contains the Tolerance Extremely Gentle Cleanser (100ml), Avene Thermal Spring Water 50ml and Tolerance Control Soothing Skin Recovery Cream 40ml. Get it here.
The Lookfantastic Black Friday reductions on Avene will last until December 2 2024, and will see shoppers enjoying 33% off the entire Avène range and 50% off selected hero products.
Also taking part in Black Friday is Sephora, which has discounted up to 30% on some of its top brands from Rare Beauty to Glossier. SpaceNK is another beauty retailer reducing its prices by up to 25% with the likes of Charlotte Tilbury's Magic Cream costing £39 instead of £52 here.
