Fountain of youth

My favourite Retinol, good for beginners and not. Only Pros: Clear texture, gone scaring, gone psoriasis, gone face dermatitis, fast skin regeneration. Cure after long flights. Best option to use before breakout to avoid break out.

Sily texture and non-irritating

This has a really nice creamy texture and soaks in well. My skin does not get irritated by it at all. Retinals are so expensive and I can never tell if they are actually doing anything but I've been using them for years anyway - this one for 2 years. Maybe my skin would be much worse if I wasn't using them.

Holy grail!

I’m almost 32 and I am lucky to have preserved a youthful complexion until my 30s (nobody can give me more than 25) but yet some subtle lines started appearing on my forehead so I decided it’s time to start with retinol. Looking for options and having watched dozens of skincare experts, I decided to invest into this one and it didn’t disappoint!  It’s gentle with the skin but also after 2 months of use I can see the difference! Have just bought my second one and I’m loving! Well done, Medik 8!

Great retinol starter

I’m relatively new to retinol and this has been great. Hasn’t dried out my skin and see a massive improvement since using. Really helping with keeping hormonal acne at bay. Will definitely move up to number 6 after one more tube of number 3.

Great beginner vitamin a

I’d been using the 6 for awhile then had a break. Went back in with the 3 to build up again. The texture is lovely. Doesn’t sit heavy in the skin. I use a moisturiser over the top to aid with sensitivity and that really works.  Can see improvement in texture and redness

Can't do without

I've repurchased this product too many times to count. It's done wonders for my skin, especially keeping it clear and bright, and I will continue to repurchase it until I find something better.
