Making skin care simple, Medik8 takes the fuss out of caring for your complexion. Powered by three key ingredients: vitamin C, vitamin A and non-negotiable SPF, the brand's signature skin care saviours are famed for their potent potions. Enter: the Crystal Retinal 10 Serum (30ml), supercharging your routine with stable retinal for bouncy and plump skin.
Speed up the line-smoothing, brightening, firming and dark spot-diminishing process with the Crystal Retinal 10 Serum (30ml).
With a unique crystal structure, this superior serum ensures stability and maximum absorption while mitigating the look of redness. With the radiance-boosting, clarifying and retexturising benefits of retinol (without the sometimes scaly side-effects), this strengthens the appearance of skin overnight, delivering a visible difference 11 times faster than retinol. The addition of plumping and moisture-retaining hyaluronic acid and glycerin, alongside antioxidant vitamin E, makes this serum a true bathroom shelf staple.

The best retional you’ll ever find
Came across this retional on the recommendation of others, and it did not disappoint. I would definitely say to start off on the lower strengths if you’re a retional virgin, as this did initially dry my skin out slightly. I now use this nightly, and, along with VitC in the morning and SPF50 daily, my skin has improved massively, with a visible reduction in pigmentation and tone, which I hadn’t thought was possible!

Gold standard retinal
Medik8 is the only brand I trust for retinal! Have worked my way up to CR10 - skin is more uniform, blemish free and glowing! Thank you Medik8.

Worth the hype
Once I had finally made my way up the retinol strengths, I used this and realised what all the fuss is about. It’s forever sold out for a reason. Transforms skin and instantly helps with fine lines. Strong stuff so make sure to slowly introduce it into your skincare regime.

The Holy Grail of retinol
I've been using retinol for quite some time now but nothing compares to this one! It may be strong for some people, be mindful of that. But the results are there! Been using it for 2 weeks now and my skin has never been better. It's not drying at all, I apply it in the evening and 15 minutes later a good layer of moisturizer. I definitely recommend this product.

Really good, not sure about the price
I worked up my way to 10 from using 6 before. I never experienced irritation and I did notice improvement in my sun marks and fine lines as well as this glow. However it’s become really pricey so I am going with tretinoin now

The love is real.
I love this retinol. Even when I try to look for something else to compare I just can’t risk it. I’ve been using it for a number of years now and always seem to get compliments on my skin. I this this actually may be the reason.

Gets results
This is strong. You have to build up to it but once you do, it’s worth the wait. Always use a strong ceramide with your retinol and you won’t get the “uglies”.

My skin drinks this serum
While the drunken elephant can sometimes lead to severe side effects when overdosed, I tolerate all versions of this retinol serum absolutely great with no redness, no peeling or skin sensitivity. Have gradually approached the different versions and tolerate all very, very well. The serum smells pleasantly of apricot and is very well absorbed by my thirsty skin, absorbs quickly. The effects are - just my feeling - not as extreme as the drunken elephant, but for this I can use this product every evening and have a clear, fine-pored, slightly smoothed skin with an even complexion when I wake up. Definitely a post-purchase product that I mix alternately with the elephant.

Holy grail
This is a must. Smells great and works so well. After working my way up to 10, skin feels great. No sensitivity issues.

Very happy with this
I've been a tretinoin user for a few years, and decided to change to this because the tret made my skin impossible to wear makeup products! This Retinal product is strong and effective enough to deal with my adult breakouts and keep my skin looking fresh and healthy - but it also doesn't dry my skin out, or make it flake under makeup. I'm able to enjoy my makeup again, and have great skin! Highly recommend. I started on strength 6 and quickly moved on to 10. But my skin was already used to Vitamin A. If you've not used it before, definitely start with the lower dosage and work your way up.
