[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I’ve delayed this post for sometime because I wanted to be sure I was giving an accurate review of my experience. I am relatively new to retinol so I was not sure how this would work for me. The.Medik8 crystal retinol 3 appears to be a great product. The packaging is simple and the tiny pump dispenser is convenient for dispensing small amounts of the product. And I used only a small amount. What I did find was almost immediate redness, and some areas of breakout which appeared to be simply a reaction. I stopped using the product, waited several days, and tried again. Unfortunately, same results. I waited another week, try it again, same results. Likewise after two or three weeks. So unfortunately, I am unable to give this a full review because I simply was unable to use it. I don’t believe it was the fault of the product, simply a reaction to my skin. I was able to use some of the other products from this company that included retinol, but for some reason this product and I were not a good match.

the product inside itself is really good IFF you can get it out. it doesn’t dispense properly and is filled with mostly air. this stuff is too pricey for this to be happening so i’m hoping they fix it
I received this for free for honest review. [I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Used for a month to give honest results. No scent only tightening power. But I also apply a melting balm over top for extra moisture. Results are great overall texture is smoother.
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This is a powerful yet elegant formula. My skin feels smoother and firmer. I also have a healthy refreshed glow. Helps with the appearance of fine lines in my forehead.
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I had been using Crystal Retinol 6 and the step up to level 10 has been great. I see smoother skin and smaller pores. I still need to top it with a thick moisturizer to combat dryness. Using this way I don't have any peeling or redness. Very little scent, applies easily on dry skin.
Best Retinal hands down! So glad they’re in Sephora now!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Cute, shiny packaging, but the box seems bigger than necessary for the size of the container. It also seemed the container itself was only half filled. Great smooth texture, I experienced no stinging or uncomfortable feelings. It absorbs well, and shows some results.
So I’ve been using this for two months now and the fine lines around my eyes and mouth are almost gone. My skin look brighter and more hydrated as well. It helped with my bumpy skin texture as well as blotchy redness too. There’s not much of a scent which is nice since I’m sensitive to smells and I didn’t react to it like most other retinol type products so I will be purchasing again.
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Crystal Retinal 20 by Medik8 has done wonders on my face! The yellowish peach serum is lightweight, absorbs effortlessly into the skin, and fragrance-free. The pump makes it easy to release the contents from the tube. It has a gentle approach to the skin. So far, I haven't noticed any irritation during usage. There isn't any residue left behind either. A small amount goes a long way. Prior to applying the cream, I make sure my face is cleansed well. Afterward, I'd distribute it all over my face and neck. In the beginning, I'd gradually work (twice a week and then went to wvery other night) it more into my regimen. Now, I put the serum on every night faithfully. I allow the cream to set a few minutes before applying a nourishing moisturizer to seal in hydration and to minimize dryness. During the mornings, I apply sunscreen to protect the skin while using retinoids. Consistency is key. My skin has a more youthful appearance. The fine lines and wrinkles are less noticeable. Overall, I'm pleased with the outcome.
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This retinal component leaves skin resurfaced and lines look less noticeable while still not being harsh on the skin like other products. I love the little tint to it providing a bit of a blurring and coverage effect and the packaging makes it to be very convenient without my fingers compromising the integrity and cleaness of the product.
