My absolute favourite skincare product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My absolute favourite skincare product. I am on my second bottle (it last ages) and since using it I can see a change to my skin - more hydrated, more even skin tone and softer skin. It is expensive but I feel you get value for money as you don't need to buy a separate serum, retinal and moisturiser.

Newbie to Retinal

Ridiculous packaging
I have used countless Medik8 products and love all of them. I took delivery of retionate yesterday - I can't rate the product as yet but I only hope it's as intense as the packaging - what a complete waste! The container is such that there will be a considerable amount of product left inside that the user won't be able to extract. Sorry to sound like a moaner but please cut down on the packaging and use a simple dispenser - the product is too expensive to waste.

Fan for Life!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've only recently started using Medik8 products and decided to treat myself to r-Retinoate® Intense during the Good Friday sale. I'm so glad I did.
Having used it for a few weeks now, I can see a very noticeable difference.
While my old acne scars will never disappear, they are looking less defined, and my overall skin is looking smoother.
I have a big pigmentation spot below my left eye, and that is definitely slowly getting lighter.
I'll be using this forever now!

The way the skin feels
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The way the skin feels and looks next morning makes the splurge well worth it. It sinks in very qyick, fab texture plus it basically contains all the ingredients you need for night routine

The best
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my 4 th purchase I really think for my 73 year old skin that the lines in both eyebrow area and a wrinkle between brows have kept them from getting any deeper. I did buy the Crystal retinal 20 but found that in the morning wiping my face the pad would be yellow, so I think it sat on my skin instead of sinking in, so I’ll stick to r-retinoate intense, it’s the one I get results with. Only negative it’s expensive, but you get what you pay for !
