Visible effect

First product from the brand - there was a visible difference on the first use in the morning. Didn’t cause any irritation, and absorbs well as the first layer. As an added bonus, the packaging is quite effective and hygienic. I look forward to trying other products from the brand.

Love, will repurchase

Obviously the benefits of a retinol/retinal are long term, but my looks incredible the morning after after using. I have dry skin but I don’t feel like this is drying or irritating, though I have only been using once a week and use a lot of hydrating products in between. Will absolutely repurchase, possibly the retinal 6 depending how I’m going when I get toward the end

Early Days

It’s still early days but I was looking for a higher strength retinol and this comes highly recommended. Im using it as directed and building up the tolerance, some localised break outs but that’s to be expected with a retinol. A few weeks in and I’m waking up and my skin is super soft!

Love it!

Have been using it for the past 3,5 weeks now. My skin looks much clearer and no sign of any redness and skin discoloration.

The best

This really is the best retinal on the market! My favourite one to recommend for people to start with, it really does change your skincare game with little to no irritation

Good starter retinol

Medik 8 produce some nice products to introduce you to retinol. I have several other products from the brand and they all perform well.

It works but not dramatically

I have oily, slightly textured skin and medium sized pores. Also a black women prone to hyper pigmentation. I gave this a gift because I want to get closer to ‘glass skin’ and it has been working to even my skin out very gently but not a massive difference yet. I think I may need the stronger version and my skin is pretty resistant to a lot of things. A good and a bad thing

Great retinal

Was introduced to this via the last good bag. It’s a really great retinal. I’ve used retinal on and off for years as it’s helped my skin recover well from acne damage. It feels light and gentle, and makes your skin feel so smooth. No redness, itchiness or peeling bits at all. It says follow with moisturiser but if you’re watching your purse strings over the next wee while, you don’t have to as it’s very moisturising on its own. I’ve been using it every other night and it’s lasted a month so far, and I’d say there’s another month in it still so I can justify the expense and now add it to my routine.
