Reviews

Love it

"I absolutely love Medik8 Crystal Retinal 24! It has a noticeable yellow color and can sometimes leave stains on my pillow, but I still love it. It works perfectly for my sensitive skin without causing irritation, redness, or peeling. I even use it around my eyes! I hope it’s working its magic while I sleep and making my skin look even better. A fantastic retinal product!"

Disappointing customer service

"I’m very disappointed with this product. I received the order on Sep 9, 2026. The pump stopped working after only two uses. I have tried pumping it multiple times, but no cream is being dispensed. Additionally, after only two uses, the container now appears to be empty. This is extremely frustrating, especially considering I paid over $100 for a product that has only been usable twice. I have contacted customer service but did not get any help. Now my emails are being blocked. I won’t purchase again."

Großartiges Retinal für empfindliche Haut!

"Ein hervorragendes Produkt! Ich habe empfindliche, zu Rosazea neigende Haut und führe es daher schrittweise in meine Abendroutine ein. Die Textur ist leicht, zieht schnell ein und verursacht weder Reizungen noch Unreinheiten. Letztes Jahr bin ich bereits auf die Stärke 6 umgestiegen."

Visible Results

"I skipped retinol and retinal 0.1% started off using the crystal retinal 0.2% serum with no negative side effects you get from using retinoids. It’s been less than a month but I can say that it’s doing something because my partner and family frequently compliment me on my skin. Definitely going to repurchase another tube before moving on to crystal retinal 25 💙"

Miss hatice

I received my supply of

"I received my supply of creams within 2 days of ordering. The service is excellent- if you have any queries the response is very quick. The crystal retinal cream product has certainly improved my skin texture. I am very impressed with all the medik8 products. Thank you 🙏"

Sensible step up, early days

"I used the lower strength first and have only just moved up to this one, so I can't comment on results yet. So far it has felt comfortable on my skin, and I'm building up use gradually. My one reservation is the packaging. I can't tell how much is left in the tube, and I suspect some product stays behind once the pump stops delivering. At this price I'll be watching that closely. I'll update this review once I've finished the tube."

Visible results in just a few weeks

"This is probably the first retinal product where I’ve actually seen noticeable results after just a couple of weeks. It absorbs very quickly and, unlike some other retinol products I’ve tried, it doesn’t leave any yellow residue on the skin. My skin looks noticeably renewed by the morning — smoother, fresher and more even. I’ve also noticed that small blemishes and irritated spots seem to calm down and heal much faster overnight. I’m genuinely impressed with how well my skin responds to it and will definitely keep using it!"

— Alla B. (5/5)

My first retinal experience and I loved it

"I have been using the product now for the last 8 months and it has improved the texture of my face and neck. I first started every other day in evenings and now I apply every evening and every other day in mornings. A pea-sized amount is enough plus the cream smells nice. I will soon move to retinal #6."

— DANIELA U. (5/5)

Great

"I’ve been using Medik8 Crystal Retinal for years and absolutely love this product! I’ve noticed a real difference in my skin since using it, and although it’s expensive, I think it’s worth every penny. It took me a while to build up to Crystal Retinal 24, but my skin has tolerated it really well. I wouldn’t be without it!"

Merhaba 1 numarada hiçbir hassasiyet yaşamadım etkisi güzel ancak çok efektif olmadı, 3 ile mi devam etmek gerekiyor 6’ya geçilebilir mi, daha önce retinal kullanmadım ancak retinol ve retinoik asit geçmişim var
Merhabalar önce Crystal Retinal 3 e geçiş yapalım. Teşekkürler
Merhaba, 1 tüp 3 numara bitmek üzere. 6'ya geçmemde bir sakınca var mı? Yoksa bir tüp daha 3 mü kullanmalıyım?
Merhabalar herhangi bir problem yaşamadıysanız Crystal Retinal 6 ya geçiş yapabilirsiniz.
