Making skin care simple, Medik8 takes the fuss out of caring for your complexion. Powered by three key ingredients: vitamin C, vitamin A and non-negotiable SPF, the brand's signature skin care saviours are famed for their potent potions. Enter: the Crystal Retinal 6 Serum (30ml), supercharging your routine with stable retinal for bouncy and plump skin.
Speed up the line-smoothing, brightening, firming and dark spot-diminishing process with the Crystal Retinal 6 Serum (30ml).
With a unique crystal structure, this superior serum ensures stability and maximum absorption while mitigating the look of redness. With the radiance-boosting, clarifying and retexturising benefits of retinol (without the sometimes scaly side-effects), this strengthens the appearance of skin overnight, delivering a visible difference 11 times faster than retinol. The addition of plumping and moisture-retaining hyaluronic acid and glycerin, alongside antioxidant vitamin E, makes this serum a true bathroom shelf staple.

Disappointed
For the longest time I wondered what I was doing wrong with my skin because at times it would be so soft, plump and supple and other days I would break out and have a bunch of white heads all over my face. I later realized that whenever I stopped using this product, my skin clears up. As a retinol product this is supposed to help with texture but instead it causes my skin to become so congested and bumpy I end up having scars now as if I had acne (which I don’t). Really disappointed :/

Miracle Product
I have the most sensitive rosacea skin that reacts to everything and is intolerant to retinol. Amazingly I can tolerate this. I started slowly with No 1, then 3 and now on 6! It has changed the look of my skin - less inflamed and dry and more fresh looking. Definitely recommend!

Medik8 Crystal 6
My first medik8 retinol product, so far I really like it, a lovely texture applies beautifully, I've not had a single reaction, but I have been using retinol. In hindsight I perhaps should have gone for the 10, will definitely purchase it next.

Show stopper
Having used Medik8 products for over 2yrs now, I cannot fault this product at all. My skin would be quite sensitive but I haven’t had a reaction at all, no dryness, flakiness, the dreaded retinol purge or tightness. It’s a wonderful product!

Love this product
I first tried Retinal 3 from Caroline Hirons’ winter kit. If the queen says it’s good I believe her! Important - you do need to ease into this slowly. After five months my fine lines are definitely improved, particularly around my eyes and upper cheeks when smiling. Skin looks plumper, smoother, and lines not as deep. Am now trying the 6 and looking forward to continued good results!

Truly impressive
I’ve been using Medik8 products for about 6 months and have made my way up the ladder. This is truly amazing in terms of effectiveness and is in a class of its own, however, it’s really important to wear SPF (50) religiously.

Gentle and effective
I have dry/sensitive skin and almost all retinol products make it extremely dehydrated. This is wonderful and you can notice the result almost immediately (increased clarity & glow). I have used other retinoids before, this is just a notch up in strength. Will definitely repurchase.

Great product with visible result
Medik8 retinal has a great texture and gentle affect which provides a visible result within 3 months of use. I personally have resilient skin so I cannot say for sure if the product is non-irritating for sure, but from my own experience, I jump to this strength from 1 month of Retinal 3, and before that, I was using retinol from THE INKEY LIST. So I think the transition is perfect for me in my own experience. After upping the strength from 3 to 6 (using them in mix), I still did not experience any irritation and still see results in the firmness of my skin. Overall retinoid is a long-term game, and I'm glad this product worked for the time being for me, hoping that it will continue to provide me all of the benefits in the next few years when my own bio-activities in the skin start to slow down. Definitely recommend it to an experienced retinol user who cannot get Tret from a prescription.

Love it
I’m getting fantastic results on texture and fine lines with no irritation. Bad reviews I guess had unrealistic expectations of going back to their teen years… I think this is as good as it gets outside prescription retinoic acid.
