I ordered a cream on your website, I think there's not much in the tube because when I click on it, I can't get the cream, it doesn't squeeze out

Crystal Retinal 6 - Amazing

I moved from Crystal Retinal 3 to 6 and my skin adapted without any issues. The results have been great – smoother, more radiant, and healthier-looking skin. It’s one of my must-have products in my routine. Highly recommend!

Really good product

I love that the pump delivers just the right amount and until the last drop in the tube. The texture is pleasant with a subtle but nice smell. I didn’t take a picture before so it’s hard to tell the result objectively but I will do with my next purchase.

Best encapsulated retinal

This is one of the best products on the market. It’s encapsulated so it has the best delivery system. You can build it up and it will never irritate your skin. It has definitely helped with my fine lines and wrinkles!

Real results without irritation

I’ve tried a lot of retinol products over the years, and this is one of the few that gives real results without wrecking my skin barrier. The texture is smooth, absorbs quickly, and layers well with the rest of my routine. What really stands out is how it improves the look of fine lines and overall skin texture. My skin looks smoother, more even, and has a healthier glow without dryness or peeling like I’ve had with other retinol products. It’s strong enough to work, but still gentle enough that I can use it consistently without irritation. That’s what makes the difference. This has become a staple in my routine and something I will continue to repurchase.

The Best!

I will repurchase the Crystal Retinal. I currently use 6 and I see the difference! Reduced wrinkles and fine lines. I had not reaction. I use 5 days a week. My next purchase, I will buy the Crystal Retinal 8. The picture is my after my Medik8, nightly routine.

The kind of retinal that makes you trust the process

Crystal Retinal is one of those products that quietly transforms your skin over time. As someone who’s very mindful about actives, I appreciate how intelligently this formula is designed — effective, stable, and remarkably gentle. My skin looks smoother, more refined, and noticeably brighter, with fine lines softened and post-acne marks gradually fading. No irritation, no drama — just consistent, visible results. It feels like a true luxury retinal: effortless to use, beautifully formulated, and absolutely worth the investment.

EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED

This was a total rip off. I bought a brand new tube , for over 100 euros and what I received it’s literally half tube. Now this is either a skincare edit issue or a Medik8 issue ( happy to share picture just not with me right now) either way a total rip off and I would NEVER purchase again

We’re sorry to hear how disappointed you were. Medik8 tubes are filled to the stated 30ml by weight, although the sealed end of the tube is intentionally left unfilled, which can make it appear as though product is missing.

We have quality-checked other products from the same batch and found no issue. Our customer care team will contact you directly so we can help you with this.

The best Retinal product I have ever used

I have been trying different brands of retinal or retinol products for a year. There is no significant improvement on my skin. So I tried Medik8 which recommended by my friend. I started with retinal 6 cuz my skin has already built up tolerance to retinal. After applying the serum, I can see my skin immediately smoothing, especially those obvious pores. I don’t really have fine lines or wrinkles problems. I use it is for preventing them appear on my face. I also bought the retinal 10 and can’t wait to start using it!

The Most Effective Skincare Product I’ve Ever Used

I’ve been using Crystal Retinal® 6 and absolutely love it — I’ll definitely go for a stronger level next time. My skin looks clearer, smoother, and noticeably firmer whenever I use it. I pair it with Press & Glow®, and the combination works beautifully. I apply it every other night because I’m cautious about overusing retinoids as I’m planning a pregnancy, but even with that schedule, the results are amazing. I haven’t experienced any irritation or redness, unlike some people mention. I usually need about three pumps per use to cover my face and neck, so I suppose one tube will last around two months if used every other day. That makes the product a bit pricey to me — especially considering the higher cost of stronger versions. This is honestly the most effective skincare product I’ve ever tried. I’ve used retinal serums from The Ordinary and Olay before — they were good, but nowhere near as powerful as this one.
