As Black Friday Beauty Deals go, 33% off is just about as generous as they come. So imagine my delight when I spotted my favourite La Roche Posay Retinol Serum with not just 1/3rd off it's (already very reasonable) price, but also a free gift with purchase.

And it's not just this powerhouse skin-improving serum that's going for a song. In fact La Roche Posay are offering a healthy 33% off everything this weekend - and there's more! Once you get to the checkout, bargain French skincare in basket, you get to choose a free gift as well. Products for the taking include the Effaclar Cleansing Gel or Posthelios Gel as well as lip balms, micellar water and more, and there's no minimum spend to qualify.

Sounds pretty good, doesn't it? View the deal here...

As we head into the colder months now's the perfect time to work a retinol product into your routine. Not only does this ingredient speed up cell turnover to reveal fresh skin texture, shift dead cells and congestion, it also regulates oil and boosts collagen production - essentially, this ingredient does it all.

The only downside of using retinol is that it's so powerful it can irritate sensitive skin. Luckily La Roche Posay Retinol Serum, much like all La Roche Posay products is formulated with gentleness as well as efficacy in mind.

Start using it two to three nights a week and build up to nightly use - you can expect a fresh glow by spring!

As woman&home's Beauty Channel Editor, Fiona Mckim has tried more beauty products than she’s had hot dinners and nothing makes her happier than raving about a brilliant find on womanandhome.com or her instagram grid (@fionamckim if you like hair experiments and cute shih-tzus)

Fiona joined woman&home as Assistant Beauty Editor in 2013, working under industry legend Jo GB, who taught her everything she needed to know (clue: learn about ingredients and employ extreme cynicism).

In a previous life, Fiona studied journalism back home in bonnie Scotland and honed her skills as a features writer at publications including Junior and Prima Baby, with a brief and terrifying stint on the showbiz pages of a tabloid newspaper in between. She's a skincare fanatic who can’t resist adding an extra step to her routine, adores fragrance, has fun with makeup and never turns down the chance to test a new hair tool. Basically, she loves it all.

When not slathering herself in self tan or peering at a tiny ingredients list on a moisturiser, you’ll probably find Fiona enjoying something to do with food - cooking it, eating it, cajoling her friends into trekking across London to try a hyped pop-up in a dirty car park.

Come to think of it, the hot dinners and beauty products are probably about even.
