Reviews

Absolute winner

"I never realised how much my skin needed this. An absolute game changer for dehydrated skin. It's so nourishing and calming. I've noticed a difference since using it. If there was only one product I had to choose, this is the one. You only need a small amount and as it warms on the skin it becomes easier to blend. It feels gorgeous and is great for sensitive skin. Wish there was a larger size."

— CJ (5/5)

Love the product but better tube please

"Great moisturiser for my very dry skin but deducted a star because the tube is so small and I have to cut the top off to get the last of it out. Please make a bigger size and make it vacuum packed like the crystal tube to make getting to the last bit easier"

Great for skin slugging

"This is a lovely thick cream which I use after two of Medik8 serums at night to slug my skin and give a huge boost of healing and moisturising overnight. Too rick for day wear."

Q&A

Can I layer this with the Crystal Retinal? If so, which would be applied first?
Hi Laura - absolutely! You would apply Ultimate Recovery after your Crystal Retinal.
Hello. Could you please explain me . Can I use this cream two times per week or more? I have dry skin , wrinkles and my age 53. Or how to correct use it?
Hi Oksana, thanks for your question. You can either apply Ultimate Recovery as and when you feel your skin needs further nourishment or, you can apply every day - noting this is a very rich texture and a little goes a long way. 'After cleansing in the morning and evening, apply an almond sized amount of Ultimate Recovery where necessary. Leave to absorb before applying sunscreen. Use more often if required. ' Thanks, Medik8.
Do you use this under a moisturiser or instead of? And can it be used around the eye area?
Hi Johanna, thank you for your question. Ultimate Recovery is rich enough to be used as a standalone moisturiser. It can be applied all over the face, but we do advise avoiding the eyelids and too close to the water-line, to avoid migration of the product into your eye. I hope this helps. Thanks, Medik8.
Can I use this cream if a have oily skin and now it’s irritated by treatments? Thank you.
Hi Yuliia, thank you for your question. Please could I ask you to email us directly on hello@medik8.com so that we can offer more tailored advice. Thanks, Medik8.
