Medik8 Night Ritual Vitamin A

Really nice quality cream looks & feels special after use day in day out skin feels nourished looks supple healthy 

I have just “recovered” from using this product twice a little over a week ago (4/02/2021).  I had been, up until now, using the Retinol 3TR with great success and had just finished my last bottle and thought I would try this purchased from Look Fantastic.   Oh my goodness, my face was swollen and there were red patches all over.  Then the “dry patches” remained and are still there but not as serious. I contacted the Medik8 people and they were  “very sorry to hear that you aren't experiencing the results you had expected from your Night Ritual Vitamin A. I would kindly advise that this is a Retinol in cream form and a night cream should be applied on top such as our Advanced Night Restore (which will be back in stock soon) to keep the skin hydrated. If you are switching between Vitamin A's, it's also best to phase them in to allow your skin to adjust (even if you have used Retinol previously) - twice a week for the first two weeks, every other night for the next two weeks and then every night.  ​We are unable to offer exchanges however if the Night Ritual Vitamin A still isn't suitable after following these guidelines, please let me know your order number and I can advise further.”

I bought this product because I wanted to introduce retinol into my skin care routine. I feel like this product has perfect for that. I can also see a difference in my skin using this product regularly. The only issue I have with it is that it leaves a kind of grainy feeling on your skin after use. 

Great moisturiser perfect to use with Crystal retinal as helps to hydrate the skin when using retinol. It also isn’t too heavy so doesn’t block the pores or feel greasy. 

This cream is grainy, smell is not great. Feels very dry. So disappointed. Waste of money. Feels cheap and really not nice on the skin

This is absolutely the best retinol to use at home and I think I have tried all of them.  I use this 2 or 3 times a week together with retinol 3 serum and my skin looks fantastic for it. I really do look 10 years younger. For retinol newbies: Three things to know when using any retinol 1) only use it at night 2) always wear sunscreen during the day, especially after after using retinol as it increases photosensitivity 3) retinol can dry your skin so use a good moisturiser on the nights in between. 

I’ve been using this product for just over two weeks and has changed the look and feel of my skin. I wake up to a brighter and silkier complexion. I shall keep using!

Though I often use retinol I chose this cream because it came highly recommended.  Rather than my usual vitamin A serum I am using this cream, the texture is lovely, it is easy to apply. I only use vitamin A at night, I assumed that as a cream it wouldn’t be as effective as serum however I have found that the morning after using it my skin is smoother, clearer and I look refreshed. This is an excellent vitamin A product, as a cream unlike other products it doesn’t feel harsh on my skin, instead it is soothing and every bit as good as the recommendations.  I can’t write a review of a vitamin A product without reminding users that if you are using vitamin A (retinol) to always use a high SPF on your face in the daytime.

Love everything about this cream from the smell to the texture to the way it makes my skin look and feel. Will be repurchasing! 

This is a really nice product in terms of what it does, the only thing I’m not keen on is the scent
