Great for beginners
I had some trouble using a greater strength retinal, was too strong on my skin. This is a great alternative and will be doing a second round before moving up to the next level!Great intro to retinol
I was nervous to try any retinol or similar on my skin as it’s sensitive and acne prone however I was recommended this product by a friend. It’s a great first step to introducing retinol to your skin, it left my skin feel smooth, hydrated and plumperAmazing
This is an excellent and effective serum, I really trust this brandbest retinal introduction
this was my first retinal product and i love it. i can see my skin getting less congested overtime and getting smoother. can't wait to try the crystal 3!Perfect beginner retinol
I got this product as my first ever retinol and I have found it to be super gentle and my skin looks great. I have had heaps of compliments on my skin since I began using it regularly. Smell so nice too.Great product
I love how it makes my face so nice and smooth in the morning. Havent seen any dramatic change but planning to purchase the retinal 6 after i finish retinal 1.Mixed feelings
I was really excited to purchase this product as retinaldehyde is often gentler than retinol and is more effective. It's hard to find products in Australia with retinaldehyde and after I saw "fragrance free' in the advert, I excitedly bought it without doing my usual ingredients review. Unfortunately, this product contains Coumarin, which IS a fragrance and can cause contact dermatitis. It also co...Read MoreLeaves skin feeling softer and smoother
I found that this gave me instant results within a two week period, leaving my skin feeling softer. After a month I noticed the texture of my skin felt smoother and I was less prone to breakouts. I'm now using the number 6. It isn't harsh to use although I think a good moisturizer and sunscreen is key to use afterwardsGreat beginners Retinal
This was my first foray into Retinal. Initially, I used this as instructed on the packaging and was able to slowly build up to using it 6/7 nights a week. I really notice if I skip a night now as it keeps my texture and hormonal acne at bay. I would recommend a hydrating serum and moisturiser after use. LOVE THIS PRODUCT. Have just purchased the Crystal Retinal 3!Fast Results
Super light weight retinol cream for first time users. Pink in colour with a creamy texture. Absorbs nicely into the skin. Visibly noticeable results in only a few applications. Definitely a must have in any face care regime.So good
So far I've only used this about 6 times over a few weeks and my skin already looks so much better. My skin looks brighter, my pores are less visible and congested and i haven't had any reaction or purging. The scent is lovely too. I will definitely purchase the 3.Improves texture
My face feels smoother after using this.Great entry to retinol
I really liked this product as an introduction to retinol for my skin routine. I found the consistency to be great, and it did help- but found that it's probably not strong enough for my maturing skincare needs so I will be now looking at stronger retinol products- but still the same brand.Great level up from retinol
I am a few weeks in to using this after levelling up from the LRP B5 Retinol, which I always found to be super gentle. I have definitely started seeing the benefits from this though! I purged initially, which weirdly I was happy about because that meant I knew it was more potent. But I haven't found this drying at all when I sandwich it between a niacinimide and then a centella serum or heavy mois...Read MoreGentle and effective
I nervously stepped up to this from the La Roche Posay B5 Retinol because I wanted something stronger. I can tell this is working because I'm purging (it's only been a few weeks) but is surprisingly gentle and feels lovely to put on. It also goes nicely when sandwiched between a prepping serum and a moisturiser - doesn't pill and still sinks in.Luxurious
The medik8 crystal retinal from the first use mage skin feel soft & hydrated. You feel medik8 products instintly make a difference. I love itGentle retinol
I knew I needed to get in the Retinol game but my skin is very reactive. I've had no issues with this! It is gentle and doesn't sting at all. The scent is nice too if that worries anyone. I will definitely continue using Medik8 products.Gentle but effective
Recently introduced retinal into my skincare routine and have successfully moved to daily use without any irrigation or reaction. Feels light and non sticky on the skin and also not too drying.Great introduction
I enjoyed this product. It was gentle enough as a first time user of vitamin a. No irritation. Hydrating. Helped to reduce some fine lines and breakouts.Entry-Level Retinol
A nice entry-level retinol which won't cause irritation to the skin. The product is quite hydrating and absorbs quickly. I didn't notice any difference in fine lines, but believe it has helped reduce the number of breakouts. I used half the tube prior to starting Retinal 3, and experienced no redness or sensitivity.Holy grail of Vitamin A
I have tried a couple of different vitamin A's but recently started using this and I think I've found the one! The texture of this serum is beautiful. It glides on so easily and sinks into the skin. It did not irritate my sensitive skin and I woke up in the morning even after the first time I had used it and noticed how bright and clear my skin looked. It felt like I had a facial while sleeping an...Read MoreLove love love
This is one of the few products that has actually worked for my blemishes, forehead wrinkles and pigmentation. It's a really nice intro to retinal and has a nice texture.
The only issue I had with it was the perfumed smell and not sure why it's an orangey colour...
However, I'll definitely repurchase! Just remember to wear spf when using it!!so far so good
First time user of retinol. Been using this product for about a month and can see a difference in my skin already!Nice intro to retinal
First time user of retinal so started with this and gradually built up use to everyday. It has a really nice texture, doesn’t dry out or irritate my skin. I’ve almost finished the bottle and will purchase the retinal 3 next. I’ve only needed to use a small amount and have noticed slight improvements to my skin with consistent use.Great
This is great for my sensitive skin and doesn't not irritate it. Leaves my complexion betterMy first time using retinol and I have loved it
I only recently in the wrong side of my 30s have got into retinol so I’m late to the party, but I have loved using this, it’s a beautiful consistency and doesn’t irritate my skin at all and my skin looks great the morning after, I also don’t have congestion, it’s the best it’s ever been. I’ve already ordered the stronger one ..Best range
The number 1 is a great start off point if you’re new to using Retinal. This didn’t iterate my skin at all, it’s a beautiful creamy texture with a pleasant scent. It makes my skin feel smooth and looks glowy and well hydrated. It also has helped my breakoutsBeautiful product
This product is so good for sensitive skin. It leaves an instant glow & no irritation. Skin is soft & hydrated in the morning. It delivers excellent results.great retinol
lovely first retinol starter ... light, no irritation, soaks into skin leaves no residue... makes skin feel greatGreat for sensitive skin
I've only used this a couple of times so I could not tell its effectiveness on improving wrinkles. However, unlike other horror stories that I've heard about starting retinol, this is quite gentle on the skin. I do not experienced any peeling or any tingling sensation, and that is a huge bonus since I have quite a sensitive skin. I also feel that it helps with my hormonal acne around my chin and j...Read MoreWonderful results
I just finished my retinal 1 and have absolutely loved it. It’s a Creamy formula that glides on wonderfully. It didn’t upset my skin at all and I saw visible results. I have now moved onto number 3A great starting point
I bought this product for my mum who wanted to get into skincare.
In just a month we have seen improvements in her skins appearance, her skin looks dewy and her her skin texture has also improved.
She began using this product alongside the a Medik8 Vitamin C serum and together they have definetly changed her skin!

This has been very gentle for my oily skin but a great product. Will increase the strength next timeGreat starter to retinal
I have just finished my first tube and I am loving the results. My acne has cleared up 100% my fine lines have almost disappeared and my skin is so smooth. I will now be leveling up to the next strength and can’t wait to see how much more my skin will improve. I had 0 irritation with the crystal retinal 1.Love this!
Have been using this for over a month now and my skin took to this really well, no irritation or bad reaction (I have dry and sensitive skin). Skin feels and looks smoother. Highly recommend this product as a great starting point to adding vitamin A into your routine. Will move onto Crystal Retinal 3 once this is finished.Helped skin a lot
This has been amazing for my skin. It has cleared up all my acne and my acne scarring. It has also improved the texture of my akin and help with fine lines. Will be steeping up soon to the next levelLove!
I have really been loving this entire range. I started out with crystal retinal 1 and had absolutely no reaction it has made my skin look amazing. I have no gone up in strength. I do recommend you start off low and work yourself up
