A must try!!

Been using this product for about 10 days now every other night and my skin has never looked better. No irritation or dry flakey skin like other retinol type products!! This is a must!!

Good

I bought this off the recommendation of Caroline Hurons who raves about this. Its a gentle retinol and hasn’t irritated me at all. Still need to use it more for effective results but like it so far.

Great

I recently started using to help tackle acne and small bumps on the skin and it really has helped. It’s very easy to use and beginner friendly so I haven’t had any reactions to it at all. My skin can be very sensitive to new products so this was great!

First retinol

This is my first retinol and is gentle enough for me to use every other night. I have PIH left from acne, can't say I notice much difference after a month but I think it's a slow and steady game.

Great

This is just such a fantastic product, like all medik8 products it is really gentle on my skin yet gives great results. I have pretty sensitive skin but have had zero irritation when using this as it suggests, building up over 2 weeks.

Best retinol

This is the best retinol I have used. It doesn’t dry out my skin like others and isn’t any oily texture or finish. It soaks right into the skin and is perfect for those with oily skin who don’t like oily retinols such as myself. It layers nicely and doesn’t irritate my skin while also giving my skin a-bit of hydration with it’s cream texture. I always wake up with glowing skin the next morning after use. Will continue to purchase

Brilliant

This is the best retinol I have used- doesn’t cause any sensitivity or peeling. It is gentle, yet effective. I have just brought Crystal Retinal 6 and I am hoping it is just as good as this one.

Amazing Retinol for beginner !

I'm a huge fan of Sunday Riley retinol serum and used 3 bottles of them but they're bit pricey and I want some changes so I decided to move to Medik 8 and really happy with the result ! I started with crystal 3 because I haven't used retinol from Medik8 before so must be careful but it works so well, same dramatic result as Sunday Riley but better smell 😂 and even better in some ways because my skin is less dry. Highly recommend to use along with Medik 8 advanced night cream cus they work amazingly together !
