    n.h. · 28 October 2022

    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 Bolo, 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.

    J.A. · 16 September 2024

    I’ve used this for about 2yrs and it’s so good for age spots. It really works but you must wear sunscreen in the day.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Waste of money

    Precio totalmente desorbitado

    e. · 9 October 2023

    Religiosamente he usado está famosa crema durante dos meses y medio. Eso sí, cada dos o tres días ya que es bastante fuerte y me ha provocado reacciones típicas de una crema con retinoids. Aquí tenemos retinal que se supone que es más suave que el siguiente y último paso que ya necesita receta. Se nota la potencia y no dudo que contenga retinal de buena calidad. Deja la cara amarilla y esto es también normal con este ingrediente.Es una crema que NO cunde. Hay que poner una cantidad generosa para sentir que está bien extendida. Obviamente tampoco hay que pasarse, pero deja la sensación de... parece que no hace nada.No he observado ningún efecto wow. Tengo piel acneica adulta, muy castigada. No ha reducido ni la cantidad de los granos ni me ha dado brillo en la cara.Súper cara y super decepcionante.

    Box of the cream is very deformed.

    F. · 18 June 2023

    Box of the cream is very deformed and it was completely open, without any security labels on it. On the way it was squezed by something else and both sides of the box was open. I am not sure that if that product is original or not. I will send it back.
