Medik8 Nighttime Renew Gift Set - Crystal Retinal 6 30ml & Crystal Retinal Ceramide 6 Eye Cream 15ml - Age-Defying - 0.06% Retinal Strength - 11x Faster than Retinol - For Regular Vitamin A Users

Best retinol I’ve ever used! I put this on most nights - all over face - I have a lot of hyperpigmentation on my face, well, I did! It’s almost all gone after a few weeks. I had one stubborn brown blotch that I’ve paid for micro needling and laser for and it did not work. A few weeks on this retinale and my skin is clear, unblemished, smooth, pores are minimized and added to the matching eye retinale, they seem to have worked together really well. This seems to have been worth the money! What I’ve been using is retinale all over, the eye retinal around my eyes but not on my eyelids. And then when it’s dried in I put a moisturizer over the top generously. I’ve tried retinols before - some pricey ones too but this is the first one that I can see results very obviously. Very happy and I’ll purchase again.

Usually i don’t write the reviews but this time i have toHonestly this cream is the best one i ever use i didn’t believe its work for the wrinkles but boy i was wrongI have wrinkles in my forehead and around my eyes and mouth now they gone honestly am not kiddingI use this product now 2 months and i can tell i will never stop using !it’s bit expensive but rather use this then botoxdefinitely recommend!Pictures show now my skin look like i have botox and i haven’tdefinitely all wrinkles gone 😍😍

I used medik8 for over a year building from 3 to 6 to 10, with 10 over most of it and eventually daily.Pros:-gentle as long as you build up in strength n frequency and don’t combine with actives like acids on same night.-Smells nice-Nice creamy consistency-Spreads and absorbs well.Cons- pump container isn’t always great, and can waste some when nearly empty- cut tube open to use the last lil bit.-expensive but if you shop around online you can often find it cut price somewhere. Check amazon, look fantastic, beauty bay etc.It does make a difference but *over time*, its important to keep expectations realistic and I’m going to drum this right in now. Retinaldehyde or any retinoid for that matter will not stop ageing nor give you Botox results and especially not after just one month nor 2 nor 3. Sorry, but its retinoid not a liquid facelift. But out of all the retinoids I have used, inc the ordinary, this one made the most difference.And as much as Itd be great if it did, using retinoid cream alone without other care taken alongside it (eg keeping it clean, protected, moisturised) will limit results.try to target the cause as well as treat the problem.WEAR SUNSCREEN!! retinoids will do nothing if you arent protecting from sun damage so of course it will seem like its not working, because the sun is undoing what good it does. SPF, everyday rain or shine. Get into the habit of using it or youre wasting your time and money.What it did for me: it did not do much to my deep forehead lines but I had crows feet forming where I squint a lot and they are virtually gone now. It helped alongside practicing relaxing my face muscles more, wearing SPF and wearing sunglasses on sunny days. Some enlarged pores have gone, only the v worst ones remain.Made my skin softer and reduced some pigmentation from past sun damage. I had a brownish spot under my eye from it which is now barely visible. But again, you NEED to protect it from future sun.It helped my acne problem. It was bad deep cystic acne. I got into skincare when struggling with it, some spots would crop up in the same place. I tried AHAs/BHAs & they helped abit but only short term and on surfaced spots. This is where the retinoids, and eventually medik8, came in.My skin was in a pretty bad way at first after a lifetime of neglect and went through a long 6 month purging process, so be prepared for many many spots- it feels like it will never end at times but this is normal with retinoids, its cell turnover+++ pushing years of crap out. I finally came out of it and now have clear skin, after persevering. There can be side effects like dryness but I have oily combo skin so didnt really get that. However its normal to get the odd side effect from retinoids so expect them.My routine: wash, retinoid, moisturise. SPF in daytime, repeat. Clean pillowcases. Only touch face with clean hands. Protect in the day, clear treat and restore at night, is what I go by.I no longer use this product because I have moved on from retinaldehyde to tretinoin (stronger stuff) so no longer need the medik8. But medik8 crystal retinal is a good retinaldehyde product to use when moving on from retinol, or as a bridge retinoid to build up to prescription strength. (Retinyl parmitate to retinol to retinaldehyde to tretinoin+)Ultimately, you should get results if you:- use it as part of a consistent skin routine- practice good skin hygiene- Use sunscreen everyday- persevere through purging and initial side effects- keep up with using it regularlyThere is a wealth of info on the tinterweb and by dermatologist/aestheticians on retinoids, care while using them, what to expect etc. its well worth learning.

Great product, leaves skin soft and tightens the area, would highly recommend

A game changer. My skin has done a 360 flip since I started using Medik8 Retanol. My skin is soft, glowing and visible reduction of fine lines around my eyes. It is especially effective on my nose and reduced my pore size, alongside sebaceous filaments which it is very effective on. The user of Retanol has to be consistent and patient, it takes time to get results. On my next order I will increase the strength up to Retanol 20.In the morning you need to exfoliate, cleanse, vitamin C serum (Medik8 7% or 14% or Cera Ve Vit C is a good option too) and Cera Ve SPF 50 moisturiser is brilliant. SPF is KEY when using Retanol the following morning. At night time, cleanse, and then use MediK8 Retanol twice or three times a week.

I used this just once and Then Couldn’t get the cream dispenser to workIt just wouldn’t no matter how I triedI informed Amazon who told me this could not be Exchanged, for an expensive product it was a waste of Money

Love Medik8 , and absolutely love this product. It works! Face feels and looks perfect! Next time, i will purchase stronger (crystal retinal 6) I reccomend! A++++

I was searching for a vegan retinol and found this product. The first time I used it, it felt too drying, I now use it over the top of my face oil instead of underneath it has worked very well.
