good, non-irritating

This made my skin look smoother and helped with texture, and was non-irritating as well. Only drawback was the price which is too high considering there are so many other retinols that do as good as a job without charging this much

Worth The Money!

I’m a savvy person and I’ve always tried to get my retinols through budget friendly options (at the pharmacy or other brands). Unfortunately, this only resulted in a severely damaged skin barrier because stronger is not always better. I’ve decided to trust Medik8 due to the impressive results I’ve seen on social media and I honestly just wish I had trusted them years ago. I’ve been using it every other day for 3 weeks and my skin looks better than years on prescription retinoids. No more breakouts, post-acne marks controlled and an overall glow like never before. A pea-sized amount every other day will last me 3-4 months easily, but I’m already re-purchasing to have a back-up.

First time trying retinol

I was recommended this brand and I’ve been slowly introducing the product into my routine, no huge breakouts or issues yet! I really like the packaging and it’s working well for me so far

Taking it slow

This is good, but you need to work up to using it nightly so it doesn’t irritate the skin barrier. I’m at the purging stage but confident that it’s going to help clear and smooth my complexion before I move up to the next strength. Try it!

New staple

Love this product! I have been using it for over a month and it makes my skin so smooth. It's also absorbed on the face quickly and has no strong smell.
