My favourite

My favourite Retinal cream!! Retinal is more powerful than Retinol and I’m so glad Medik8 does these. Love this brand!  This cream smells divine and leaves face glowing. Can’t wait until I finish it so I can go up one percent more.  I started using it once per week for a month before using it more regularly. Now I use it every night and didn’t get a reaction or dry skin.

So far so good

I still feel like I need more time for this to have the full effect but so far I do feel like my skin is looking clearer and healthier after adding this to my routine. I started with the twice a week as stated, and make sure I follow up with a good moisturiser.

Recommended for a beginner

Recently bought this as it was recommended by my aesthetic nurse, only starting off at 1, as a beginner. it didn’t really tingle much so I’m happy that this suitable for me at the moment. Look forward to seeing the results. Applied SPF and moisturiser aswell. It’s a must!  will use this tube and then gradually go higher than 1.

Second purchase

Skin feels silky after using this. Tried Retinal 3 after the first bottle of retinal 1 and it was too strong for my sensitive skin, my skin got red and itchy, so I decided to go back to this one.

New to retinol

Im a bit late in using retinol and after doing a bit of research decided to go for the Medik8 range. I started off with the retinal 1 and will be moving on to the retinal 3 soon. I cant say ive noticed any difference in my skin so far but willing to stick to it and work my way up to retinal 10 as ive heard so many good things about this range. This product did make my acne prone skin purge but Ive read that this should settle after a while as my skin is new to retinol. I experienced no irritation when using this.

Worth the price tag

Expensive but see results! Helps with fine lines, skin texture and pigmentation! It’s a great product, a little goes a long way also

Sore skin after

Chose the lightest one to start with as recommended. Used only once weekly not twice and got red, sore, spotty skin, that was dry. I even used a moisturiser after. Stopped using
