Reviews

Now a staple in my routine

"I love that just one pump of my Crystal Retinal in my nightly routine (after double cleansing and my Medik8 Advanced Peptides MP) helps me taking care of my skin with a little luxurious feeling TLC. I switched from another retinal and so started at level 6, but love that I can go up the retinal ladder as my skin adjusts. I am also already seeing some improvement in my forehead wrinkles and 11’s (I don’t do any in-office procedures like Botox)."

Great Product, but the Pump Could Be Better

"I’ve been enjoying Crystal Retinal so far. It feels really nice on my skin and I’m happy with the results I’ve seen. My only issue is the pump — it can be quite difficult to dispense the product. I often have to press it many times just to get a small amount out. The product itself is great, but I wish the packaging were easier to use."

A bit over hyped

"I’ve been using this product every night for a month now. I even purchased the one recommended after this. Honestly, my skin looks the same. No visible improvements and I have healthy skin for a 42 year old. My focus was fine lines. But so far no visible change. I’m not sure I’d continue buying this product in the future. It’s not cheap"

Incredible glow

"I moved up to crystal retinal 6 after finishing a tube of retinol 3. The difference is night and day. It has a lovely, non-greasy cream/serum texture that absorbs almost instantly. Within just a few weeks, my skin looks significantly smoother and my lines are softer. It's completely worth the investment xx"

So far so good

"I’ve been using this for a couple of months now. It’s quite pleasant to use, I didn’t have irritation even though my skin can be a bit sensitive. I really had to get used to the smell. I think it’s doing something good for my skin but will have to move to the higher strengths to see if that will give more obvious results. The big downside is the price, and it becomes more expensive with each step so I’ll need to see it makes a difference to continue."

Tamar H. (4/5)

Seems good so far

"Have been using this for a couple of months, it's a nice cream with a gentle scent (slightly vanilla), moisturising, and lightweight consistency. I can't say I've seen any improvement to my skin texture, but it's only been a few months. I don't really have wrinkles but I'm hoping this keeps them at bay! My only point of dissatisfaction is that for the price the packaging feels very cheap - not even a glass cap, and I don't like that I won't be able to easily get all the product out without cutting the tube eventually."

Crystal Retinal is a game changer

"I couldn't use any retinol products before I tried the Medik8 retinal range. I started on the serum at strength 3 but then moved to the Crystal Retinal. It is gentle and my skin accepts it well. Importantly it works. My skin is looking better than it did 15 years ago in terms of glow and texture and elasticity. I wish they did larger tubes or bottles for the body! I wish I had started using this years ago. Highly recommend. Don't forget to use SPF and put a moisturiser on after applying the crystal retinal in the evening. I use the medik8 eye night restore and the moisturiser"

Best Retinal out there

"Best Retinal I have used. I have worked my way up to 10 and my aging menopausal skin loves me for it. It’s gentle yet effective keeping my skin youthful and glowing. It really helps in reducing my pores and fine lines."

Helen H. (5/5)

A fantastic Retinal from Medik8.

"A fantastic Retinal from Medik8. I am seeing results in less than a month. Other people have noticed too which is lovely to know that it's not just wishful thinking on my part. The formula absorbs beautifully leaving my skin smooth with no clogging of my pores at all. Another outstanding product from Medik8 who's quality I have complete faith in. ."

All good so far!

"Been using the crystal retinal for about a month now and my skin is definitely feeling much better texture wise. I’ve not had any problem with sensitivity so will go up to the next strength once this tube is finished. I’m new to retinal but even after a few short weeks I’ve noticed the difference; not sure about fine line changes yet but it’s early days! My skin generally feels good and, as someone who didn’t really have any sort of skin regime before, I’m really pleased with the change in such a short time so will definitely be continuing."

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.
