Normally, the upmarket skincare brand is only available at Harrods, the luxury department store in London’s affluent Knightsbridge.
But shoppers can now get the brand’s Anti-Aging Line Concealer cream for a fraction of the price TK Maxx.
The preventive eye concealer, which usually retails at £160 for 15ml, claims to delay the formation of fine lines.
However, TKMaxx shoppers can now pick up a bottle of the cream for just £27.99 – that’s 83% less.
TK Maxx is also flogging some other exciting anti-ageing tools like the Doctors Cosmeceutical, Anti Ageing Moisturiser.
Once priced at £119, it’s now available for just £12.99.
Shoppers can also enjoy discounts of up to 94% on select Dr H Skincare products, such as the Anti-Ageing Night Moisturiser, which has been reduced from £200 to an incredible £12.99.
The products can be purchased both online and in-store.
However, availability in your local store may vary depending on stock levels.

How to compare prices to get the best deal
JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn’t mean it’s always a good deal.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that’ll check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
Here are some that we recommend:
- Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
- Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
- Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one.
- CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.
How can I save money when shopping at TK Maxx?
Start by shopping in your local store on the right day, which, according to one ex-worker is a Tuesday or Thursday.
Dale O’Keeffe told The Sun this is when items that are already in clearance are reduced further.
The former staff member said Fridays are worth a punt too as this is when stores are at their fullest ahead of the weekend rush.
Dale said most TK Maxx shops twice a year have a “final clearance” as well – which sees massive reduction on clearance stock.
The two periods are usually around two weeks long and tend to come in January and July.
Dale said he would see items that started out at £40 reduced to as little as 30p.
Dale also advised shoppers check out the home furnishings section where you can find some serious hidden treasures.
Plus, he said heading to bigger stores like the Bullring in Birmingham or Trafford Center in Manchester, could see you snap up “Gold Label” items.
These are essentially the biggest designer items, reduced by hundreds of pounds.
How to bag a bargain
SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain…
Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with.
Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks.
Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.
Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on.
Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too.
When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.
Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping.
Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out.
And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item.
