Real difference

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I use this every day and the texture of my skin has improved greatly. My skin actually breaks out if I stop using it so must be working! Wrinkles reduced and no irritation.

Affordable and STRONG

Strong retinal at a very good price. Really noticeable but can only use once a week as it’s very strong for me .

Botox in the bottle

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

From the first use my fine lines were visibly reduced, I’ve used other retinol products before and this is hands down the best and most affordable. Will 100% repurchase

Great retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

As a retinol fan with dry/sensitive skin, I sometimes find it hard to find a product I love. But this is not super harsh on the face and have seen improvements. I would start light to begin with and then build up. It is now in my forever retinol rotation and such a good price point. Small bottle but have found one pump is more than enough for face and neck.

Wow!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have been using this as a step up from my lower strength retinol serums. I have started using it with hyaluronic acid underneath to minimise dryness and irritation but have already noticed a difference with tone and texture of my skin! Love it!

The lines…. OMG so less noticeable/deep Been using for 3 months now and the results are just incredible. 51 years old and thought home products would no longer make a difference. This truly does. And all without the dreaded ret flakes! Give it a go. Medik8 who!!
