Good Retinol

Lovely texture, skin didn’t react badly to it. I would definitely go for CR3 instead though

The best starter retinol! No irritation and can already see results

First time retinal user

I know it’s supposed to take a good few months to notice anything but I’ve been using this for a short while as a retinal beginner and can see the purge happening which proves it’s working. I use it with copper peptides to achieve baby soft skin

Broke me out :(

I introduced this product carefully, using it once a week only, but it broke me out. And I never break out. Ever. So no doubt this is the reason. I will try building up my tolerance by using it once every 10 days, but if you have sensitive skin, be warned.

Good

Good retinal to start with. It's not irritating and feels nice and lightweight.

Lovely

Great retinol especially for people who have never used it before. Not irritating. Smells nice too.

Great

I have given this four stars because I haven’t allowed much time to notice a difference. However I have never been able to tolerate retinol / retinal products and this has been great for my sensitive skin. I do still use the “sandwhich” method with this and I’m using this every 3 days but given how great the Medik8 Press and Glow tonic is I know and hope this will do wonders!

BUY IT!

OH MY GOD. This is fantastic! I wanted to begin a retinal journey but had no idea where to start and many people raved about this. My skin has been scared from years of spots, by using 2/3 times a week over the last month my skin has honestly been transformed. It’s so much clearer, it’s tighter, my forehead lines have visibly been reduced. With the help of this and a few other products my skin has a glow that I never used to have. Best of all, making me feel so much happier and confident in my skin. 100% purchase this!

Repurchased, great for sensitive skin

I have dry, pale, sensitive skin and was looking for a gentler retinol or retinol alternative for a while as I was worried about the "retinol uglies". After a lot of research and reading of reviews, I decided to try Medik8 out and I'm happy with the results. I've purchased the Retinal 1 serum twice now, the first tube lasted about 6-8 months but mostly because I wasn't that consistent. Saying this, I did see improvements in my skin texture and tone when using it once a week or once every other week. Since being more consistent (twice weekly) with the second tube, I've still not had any harsh reactions, but my skin is purging more (I'm hoping this will stop in a few weeks). I'm happy with the results and I'm excited to see whether the fine lines on my neck improve too. NOTE: please wear sunscreen the next day if you put this on! It definitely makes your skin more sensitive to the sun!

I had never tried retinal before and found that this was the perfect way to ease in to adding it to my skincare routine. I definitely saw and difference in my skin after a few weeks
