  1. Powerhouse Retinal

    Vanessa L

    After being on high strength prescription retinaldehyde for acne I was needing something that was still strong but not prescription. Being used to strong retinol I went from 6 and then to the 10. I fined my skin is radiant and smooth without being excessively dry from strong Retinol use
  2. Wow

    Shaz

    I loveeee this product. It has dramatically improved the texture of my skin and leaves me glowing with no irritation whatsoever. I jumped straight from 3-10. I purchased another which is slightly cheaper (by about $20) to try out and it has destroyed my skin. Back to this I go!
  3. Disappointing

    Jemma

    I’ve been using the crystal retinal range for a few years now and I’ve just worked up to the 10. I actually received the Medik8 retinal oil as a gift and I found that that actually worked better over 2 days of use compared to the weeks I’ve been using this. Pretty disappointed.
  4. My skin loves this

    Tina

    This has really improved the texture of the skin on my face and dramatically improved very bad scars I have on the backs of my hands. Honestly cannot say enough good things about this product, but be sure to incorporate it into your routine gradually and use sunscreen during the day (it increases cell turnover and therefore, increases sensitivity to the sun)
  5. This is an outstanding retinol. Completely non-irritating. Highly recommended.

    Dino

    Overall, my skin is much smoother, clearer and more radiant.
  6. The best

    Tina

    This is my favourite serum m. It has transformed my skin. It has also made a difference on the backs of my hands
  7. New favourite

    Allgearnoidea

    Switched from Skinceuticals Retinol to Medik8 10. My skin hasn't reacted or purged in the months i have been using retinal which is a huge win. I like the texture and easy to dispense packaging that allows me to apply the same amount each time. My skin is clear and glowy post use and i will continue to use this.
  8. Product v dispense

    Jacqueline

    I’ve been using this regularly for quite a while now and I’m happy with it. It goes on smoothly and feels good. A small quantity goes a long way. I don’t like the dispenser though. When my last tube stopped dispensing, I cut it open to find that there was still a lot of cream inside it! I’d like it to be in a jar so that we can access all of the cream with ease.
  9. Officially one of my staples

    Rocky

    I’ve used this for a year now and it has become one of my staples, you have to gradually build your self up to this strength and then go off it for a month and go on it again. Helps with my purging, pigmentation, over all skin texture and my skin is more firm and youthful. Very happy and will continue using
  10. Silky smooth

    Chrissy

    For a retinoid, this serum is super silky and smooth when applied. It leaves my skin feeling soft, but needs around 2 pumps to fully coach my face. My skin soaks it up. It doesn’t cause any irritation which is a plus, but I haven’t yet used this product for long enough to observe the long-term results. Slightly pricey for the amount of applications in the tube, but based on the description, it’s ...

    Applies so nicely, beautiful scent and feel. Non irritating for my usually sensitive skin. Worked up from the 6, and will continue using.
  12. Best non- prescription retinol you can find in the market

    LC

    Been using this for around 2 years and I dont think there is another non-prescription retinol that can beat it yet. Absorbs quickly and the best part is that will give you quicker results compared with other retinols since this is an advanced formula with a molecule that does not need a break down by your skin before doing its job. If you are new to retinol start with number 3 and build your way...

  13. Gentle and Effective

    Chloe

    I am new to the retinal products. I started using it two times per week, then every second night in the following week, then every night. I had no irritation at all. It shows how incredibly gentle this product is on my skin. I also apply a bit of a moisturizer before, it helps spread the cream as it has a bit of dry texture to it. After one-month I can see some results - some of my pigmentation is...

  14. Definitely yes

    Medik8 retinal is one of the best in the market for the price point it is offered. I feel they have put a lot of thought on formulating their products and I respect that. I am on my second tube after I used the retinal6
  15. Fast acting no irritation

    Katie

    This is an expensive product for a reason. The product works to combat acne and improve skin quality and texture overall without being irritating. I use this as part of a four day skin cycling routine and it has dramatically improved my acne and post inflammatory hyperpigmentation without causing any dry skin, flaking or irritation.
  16. Thumbs up

    T

    I have been wanting to use this for a while and Im very happy I have. Only started a couple of weeks ago but I like that im only having mild sensitivity to it and my skin looks really fresh. Look forward to seeing future results
  17. Pampering

    Jo

    I've nearly finished my first tube....had to cut it to access a lot of leftovers that wouldn't pump through the applicator, but that's the advantage of having it in a tube. I worked my way up the strengths of retinol/retinal to this one. I was a bit scared at first, but I've had no reactions to this at all...I can use it nightly & it's quite a luxurious texture. My skin is starting to glow
  18. Perfect

    Joanne

    Retinal without the irritation. Works so well on sensitive skin and really helps get rid of breakouts.
  19. Can not Thank You Enough

    OdiMART

    Acne is gone Skin tone is back Congestion is gone Smooth skin is YES BRIGHT SKIN IS YES ALL things I get from Adore Beauty.
  20. Gentle on the skin

    VS

    Definitely gentle on the skin but I have yet to see any results on my face after using this product for over a month now. They do say retinals are a slow and steady game so I will wait and see if I notice any changes after three to six months.
  21. Seems good so far

    Jo

    I've only just starting using this product as I've worked my way up through the milder strenths of retinol/retinal. So far I'm happy, it doesn't smell, it has an easy to use applicator & consistency, it hasn't aggravated my skin. Haven't seen a huge difference yet, but I'm feeling positive. I did a lot of research before I chose this one, so I'm confident :)
  22. I use this every night

    J

    This has become a staple in my skin care routine. I use this every night before bed and it has helped improved my skin along with my other Medik8 products.
  23. Low irritation, high impact

    Charlotte

    I recently switched to this from Skinceuticals 1%, which for some reason my skin would not build up a tolerance for. I tried using this once a week at first, to be careful, and found that I could immediately use it three times a week. I've had no sensitivity or peeling like I experienced after over a year of using the same strength from Skinceuticals. My skin looks so smooth and bright. Too early ...

    Been using the Crystal range (from 3 to 6 to 10) and really impressed with the results. Retinaldehyde is more potent and my skins looking amazing.
  25. Worth the price, 100%

    Zoe

    After starting on the Crystal Retinal 3 and working my way up a level after finishing each tube, I’m happy to be using the 10! I’m using it for anti ageing purposes and have noticed a significant improvement in my skin texture, bounce, some lines minimised and overall rarely getting normal acne now. This cream does leave a slightly yellow cast which I didn’t find with the others, but I personally...

  26. Great product

    Bella

    I have been a long fan of Medik8 crystal retinal line. I have used Medik8 Crystal Retinal 1 & 3 previously and decided to jump straight to 10 because I am confident that I have built enough tolerant for retinal product. This product has helped to reduce bumps on my face and makes my skin smoother.

  28. a game changer!

    laurzy

    i had been using a 1% retinol in a different brand for a long time and never felt it did anything for my skin that was noticeable. I started seeing a dermal therapist and she immediately put me onto the crystal retinal 10. I have really resilient skin which doesn't react to strong cosmeceuticals however she advised me to apply every second night at first for a couple weeks. I used it every second ...

    JenJ

    Firstly, I am a big fan of Medik8 and use a huge range of products. I started on the Retinal 3 (regular, not crystal) and then moved to Crystal 6. Followed instructions exactly in terms of working it into my routine / number of days a week and no issues. I then moved to Crystal 10 and again slowly worked in. I think it has made a huge difference in my skin. I just bought my second tube of 10 which...

  32. Love this product!

    StephanieM91

    I started with the ‘6’ retinol and moved onto the ‘10’. I absolutely love this on my skin. It’s very gentle after your skin adjusts to it and it has helped a lot with my break outs as well.
  33. Does not irritate my skin

    Marge

    I went from 1 to retinal 10 and I must say that I didn't have much irritation during the transition. I use a b5+ hyaluronic acid serum before applying this and it absorbs really well.
  34. Fav retinol ever

    Bumbler

    I've repurchased this a few times now. I love this product. It's potent, effective and does NOT irritate my skin. I love this product. Worth every penny! The packaging is also really good. Easy to use. It's in a tube so I can get every last drop out of the packaging as well.
  35. Favourite!

    Matilda

    Love retinal!! Cannot recommend this product highly enough, absolutely obsessed! My skin is clearer and tighter
  36. Love it

    Kat

    non irritating, fast acting and really comfortable product to wear. I use this every second night and usually just later one serum and a moisturiser with it for optimal results (without diluting it with too many other products). My skin is clear, brighter and healthy looking.
  37. Great product

    Brooke

    I have used this product for 18 months now and couldn't live without it. I am a regular user of all my ABC serums and have tried many. This is a good one. Make sure you ease into it though as it's quite powerful. It's pricy, but worth it.
  38. Use with a Serum

    Silvia

    I use serums on a regular basis so didn't need to work my way up to regularly using this. As a standalone product its good, however I found that over time I wasn't really feeling the benefits anymore? I will continue to buy as it is better than a Retinol - but will need to layer this with a serum first, then this and followed by a night cream.
  39. Nice anti ageing product

    Ali

    Bought this one hoping it would help with my hormonal breakouts but I’m not so sure it’s very effective. I do feel like it has anti-aging benefits though, without causing any adverse reaction, I found it quite gentle. It’s non-greasy, dark ochre coloured, diluted clay-like texture. Lightly scented.
  40. Powerful!

    RyE

    Moved onto this after Beaute Pacifique Super3 Clinical, no irritation whatsoever and the morning after results are incredible. Have found it works really well over a mist (Osmosis) and left on it’s own to do it’s work. Next morning skin is super soft and has a more united complexion/refinement. Keeps blemishes down too!
  41. Amazing Retinal

    Paula

    I’ve built up to this by first using the retinal 8 and now I’m using this stronger version I can see the difference. Some softening of fine lines and a definite improvement in skin clarity. Will definitely buy again.
  42. I love this

    Matilda

    I love this product, it quite strong so had to work my way up to using this retinal.
  43. lovely formulation

    ana

    I have moved through the medik8 system up to 10 now... never irritated or caused any problems ...a bit pricey but does last a while , you dont need to use much.
  44. Amazing Anti Aging

    Yonico MAK

    This product is not only for anti aging agent, but it prevents my skin from blackheads, pimples, and it exfoliates my skin routinely. I am 28 but this is the best way of my aging prevention
  45. First retinol

    Allison

    This is the first retinol I tried and it never caused me any problems. Seems to be a great entry level product.
  46. I see results

    Sarah

    I moved upto 10 after using (and loving) the 6. My skin which is damaged/oily/combination, looks brighter, acne scarring is fading and I have found this to do wonders for healing and resurfacing my uneven skin tone. Be patient - keep a habit of daily use and results will show before your eyes. If you can afford it!
  47. Gold standard retinol serum

    Lee

    I stepped up from Medik8 Retinal 6 and I am onto my 2nd tube of the Retinal 10. The transition has been seamless. No irritation whatsoever after gradual phasing in of the product as per instructions. I apply this after hyaluronic serum and the creamy retinol serum leaves my skin smooth, hydrated and refined. The best retinol product on the market. Well worth the price tag.
  48. Good product but didn't notice huge results.

    Ren

    I purchased this product as it was recommended to me by a friend who loves it. The product is a nice rich creamy texture and does not leave your skin feeling dry at all like some other retinol based products do. It left my skin feeling nice and moist. I found that I had no irritation but also found that I didn't really see any major results. Maybe it is just not the right retinol based product fo...

  49. Lovely retinol product

    Lisa

    After a month of using this product my skin is looking much more refined. It applies smoothly and feels moisturizing on your skin for a retinol product and not too drying. It is costly but I will keep on buying this one.
  50. Great

    Kylie Q

    I really like the crystal retinol range from medik8. It's allowed me to easily step up to a higher level with zero irritation due to it's special micro encapsulated formula. They say this is better than retinol as it's got one less conversion to do this product doesn't irritate me at all. Start on the 3, move to the 6 then up to the 10.
  51. No irritation

    Kylie

    Medik8 is one of my favourite high end brands. I think medik8 make the best retinol products on the market I am very impressed with this line, great strength without irritation.
  52. Little bit pricey

    Sue

    I wasn't really seeing any real improvement in my skin at this moment. I do feel my skin is soft and smooth after I applied this product at night. Will try few more month let see any improve. Price is little be expensive.
  53. Evened out my skin tone - Noticeable different in skin

    Bec

    This product is great for evening out skin tone and overall making your skin feel and look healthier. I absolutely recommend this product. Although it is a bit pricey it is certainly worth the money and really it actually lasts quite a long time. Mine lasted about 4 months
  54. LOVE LOVE LOVE this Retinal!!!!

    Nicola

    I adore this product. I progressed my way up to using this product by using weaker strength Retinol products (by both Skinsitut & Medik8). I personally prefer this Retinal. I prefer the texture of this one over the liquid variety.

    I definitely think it helps with breakouts as well & helping to get rid of the bacteria. I just feel 'cleaner' after using it.

    Yes it is a ...

  55. Not bad

    Katie

    I’ve used many brands of retinols over the years. This didn’t cause any skin irritation etc. Used it every night. Skin is definitely softer but haven’t noticed any improvements to pigmentation or fine lines.
  56. Great product

    Ash

    I decided to try this after using the Medik8 retinol 6 for a while. I didn’t love the texture of the 6 but the 10 is heaps better. Much smoother and faster to absorb into the skin. It’s pricey but my skin feels so much firmer and radiant in the morning. Definitely noticed the difference

    Jerry

    I have used this product for sometime now and love it wouldn’t stop using it
  58. Great high strength retinol product

    Lindsay

    I have been using this product for over a month. To be honest, I have not seen any marked improvement in my skin over that time. That is perhaps unsurprising though given that I was previously using a retinol product (the Medik8 10TR balm) and I don’t have any significant issues with pigmentation, wrinkles or acne. I bought this product after seeing it recommended by a number of dermatologists as ...

I have been a big fan of the 10TR Retinol serum so wanted to see how this compares. I was pleasantly surprised that it does work as fast as it says it does- results were noticeable from day one, but the jury is still out as to whether it is better than the se...
