Medik8 Crystal Retinal 1 Serum 30ml

Now this is GOOD. I’m new to retinoids and have sensitive skin. I followed the instructions and have now been using this every night for a few months. A little goes a long way! I’ve had none of the retinol nasties and have genuinely seen an improvement in my skin! Recommend for those with sensitive skin who are new to retinoids. I’ll be moving up to the crystal 3 next!

This is my first time using this product I’d done some research into which ones are best and this was one. So far I’m following the every other night routine and my skin feels lovely and soft in the mornings I don’t seem to be having any dryness or skin problems so I’ll start using this every night now after I’ve finished this one I’ll move on to the higher strength but this seems a great way to start only thing I will say is the tube is a little tricky the pump action isn’t the best but apart from that the product is great certainly worth investing in for a great skin care regime 

Really enjoying this product. Not too strong for my face but gradually will buy the stronger one but this one is a great start for me. No bad reactions. Not been using it that long but impressed so far. I use effaclar astringent lotion before applying 

I’ve only been using this retinal for 5 nights and I’ve already seen an amazing difference in my skin. It’s helped clear up my spots and has smoothed my texture. Excited to see the results after prolonged use.

This retinal works a treat for me! I was on the market for something stronger was switching from the medik8 6tr (gradually worked it up to daily use). It’s really helped with some lines I had in my forehead and generally keeps my skin looking radiant (I pair it with the laroche posay hylauronic acid) in the evenings. 

I've tried lower strengths retinol and retinyl palmitate etc. but this was the first product I've used consistently that is retinaldehyde. Smells nice (which shouldn't matter). Consistency is a little thicker than I thought but does sink in which is nice for an oily skin like myself. Had a breakout which I think was a little purge at the beginning so having been doing as advised and using it every 3 days for the first two weeks.

I have only been using this product for a few weeks so too early to speak re anti-ageing, however, this has already made a MASSIVE difference to a cystic acne breakout I had on my cheek. For months I tried loads of different products and nothing seemed to make a difference (the area constantly looked so spotty and inflamed), but this product has almost completely gotten rid of it and it's looking pretty clear now! Very pleased! :)

Retinal is the next best thing. Want to rid of pigmentation, blemishes, texture then this is where it's at. I would definitely recommend and repurchase. So happy that look fantastic stores this product. Thumbs up from me.

After only ever using one retinol before I thought I’d upgrade to retinal. I should’ve gone for the 3 rather than the 1 personally as my skin is not too sensitive. However that being said this product is great. Easily absorbed and I use it every other night. Been using for a couple of weeks and already seeing results. My skin looks way more hydrated and plump

Recommended by Caroline Hirons! I'd previously used a liquid retinol from the Ordinary. This consistentcy is more like a cream and goes on beautifully. You only need to wait 1bmin after application and then move on to other products. No irritation. I'll be moving on the to the higher potency (crystal retinal 3) in this range after this is finished. Highly recommend!
