I’ve been using this product for several years,
and it has become a regular part of my evening skincare routine. After having my baby, I started paying much more attention to pigmentation and vitamin A in my skincare. I keep coming back to this product because I genuinely enjoy having it in my routine. This video is simply my honest experience as a real customer — no paid collaboration, just a product I’ve chosen to repurchase myself. 🤍1296 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Medik8 Crystal Retinal 6 – a product that deserves patience ✨
There is skincare that gives a lovely feeling in the moment, and then there are products you only truly start to appreciate after they've been part of your routine for a while. Crystal Retinal 6 belongs to the latter category for me. The first thing I was drawn to was the formula. It is light, silky, and surprisingly pleasant for an active step in the evening routine. It spreads nicely over the skin, absorbs without any heavy residue, and works very well under my moisturizing night cream. But it is after continuous use that I think the product shows its strength. The change hasn’t been dramatic from one evening to the next – rather subtle in that way where you suddenly realize your skin actually looks different. I experience a smoother and more even skin texture, more clarity, and above all that beautiful glow that makes the skin look healthy even without makeup. I also appreciate that Medik8 has managed to make the application itself so elegant. The pump dispenses just the right amount, the product feels fresh every time, and the packaging is both functional and beautiful. It might sound like a small detail, but for me, that’s the kind of thing that separates a good product from a truly well-thought-out product. Is it cheap? No. And that’s exactly why my expectations would have been high if I had bought it myself. But after using it, there’s one thing that says the most about my opinion: I would miss it if it disappeared from my evening routine. And for me, that might be the finest compliment a skincare product can get🤍 #lykomission #lykoreview1850 views - The post was made 3 months
Medik8 3 or 6?
Hi! I have used Geek & Gorgeous A-Game 5 0.05% Retinal Serum without major results, nor any side effects. Now I want to switch to Medik8. Should I choose number 3 or 6? Thanks in advance!2534 views- The user's roll: Customer service at Lyko. The comment was made 3 monthsHello Harris! 😊 Medik8 Crystal Retinal 6 is a reasonable next step if you tolerated 0.05% retinal without irritation, Crystal Retinal 3 is a gentler start if you want to ramp up even more slowly. Start with 2-3 evenings a week, gradually increase to every evening after 2-4 weeks if the skin feels good, apply on dry skin and always use SPF during the day. Crystal Retinal 3: lyko.com/sv/medik8/medik8-crystal-retinal-3-serum-30-ml and Crystal Retinal 6: lyko.com/sv/medik8/medik8-crystal-retinl-6-cream-30ml All the best! 😍️3 likes

Medik8 Crystal Retinal 6
Hi. I just picked up my latest order which included Medik8 Crystal Retinal 6. I was about to try it now, but noticed that the tube is half full. Is it supposed to be like that? It’s kind of flat halfway down the tube where there’s no product. Considering the price, I would expect it to at least be full even though it only contains 30ml.2544 views- The user's roll: Skin therapist at Lyko. The comment was made 4 monthsHi Erica 😊 This comes as 30 ml, and this type of tube/airless solution often leaves some space and can look flat further down without the amount being less. Gently massage the tube so the contents distribute and prime the pump with a few presses until product comes out. If it still clearly seems underfilled: file a complaint via My Pages 16 Order History 16 select your order 16 Complaint and attach photos of the tube, and we will assist further. Crystal Retinal is a faster form of vitamin A than retinol, so start gradually in the evening and use sunscreen during the day. Have a nice day! 🌼

Around the Eyes
Can this be used on the skin around the eyes?3308 views- The user's roll: Employees at Lyko. The comment was made 7 monthsHi Elfrid😊 It can be used on the face, but we recommend avoiding the area directly around the eyes as the skin there is extra sensitive. If you want to use retinal around the eyes, it's better to choose an eye product that is specifically tailored for that area, from the same series, like this one: lyko.com/sv/medik8/medik8-crystal-retinal-ceramide-eye-6-15-ml It's important to gradually introduce it and start carefully, then increase if the skin responds well. Don't forget sunscreen during the day🌞 Hope the answer can be helpful!2 likes

Combines with other products
How can this product be combined with niacinamide and azelaic acid (both from The Ordinary)?3067 views- The user's roll: Employees at Lyko. The comment was made 7 monthsHey Hanna😊 Medik8 Crystal Retinal 6 Cream 30ml can be combined with niacinamide and azelaic acid, but not all at the same time. A safe way is: niacinamide in the morning, retinal in the evening, and azelaic acid on evenings when you’re not using retinal. Start gradually and always use sunscreen during the day. Hope the answer can be helpful and that you have a super nice day💫1 likes

Laser?
I use IPL laser at home with a Braun machine on my face once a week. Can this be used in conjunction?2579 views- The user's roll: Customer service at Lyko. The comment was made 8 monthsHey Nora! 👋 I wouldn't recommend using Medik8 Crystal Retinal 6 while doing IPL treatments at home. Retinal makes the skin thinner and more sensitive, and IPL is a heat and light treatment that also stresses the skin. Together, they can increase the risk of irritation, pigmentation, burns, or slow recovery ✨ Here are some tips to follow: Before IPL: Pause the use of retinal for at least 5–7 days (7–10 days for sensitive skin). Also avoid other active ingredients like acids and strong vitamin C. After IPL: Wait until the skin is completely restored (no redness, tightness, or heat), usually 7–10 days, before starting with Retinal again. Start cautiously with lower strength or fewer nights a week. Sun protection: SPF 30–50 every day is extra important both during the IPL course and when using Retinal. Rule of thumb: Always pause Retinal during an ongoing IPL course, and only reintroduce it when the skin is stable. Take care! 🤍1 likes

Combine with other products
Hi. I use this every evening. I have 2 questions: *I also use Niacinamide serum. How can I combine these 2? Should I use the Niacinamide in the morning, or in the evening before Medik8? *When this runs out, should I then get a stronger Medik8? If so, which one?2997 views- The user's roll: Employees at Lyko. The comment was made 10 monthsHey Linda 👋😊 You are on the right track, use your niacinamide in the morning and the retinal in the evening to combine them best 😍🙌 If your skin feels stable and you want to work more on fine lines, pigmentation, skin texture, you can increase to retinal 10 👇 lyko.com/sv/medik8/medik8-crystal-retinl-10-cream-30ml Start every other evening for 1-2 weeks and then increase to every evening if your skin feels good 🤍 Good luck!!2 likes

Acne Scars
Does this work for mild scars and pigmentation after acne?4046 views- The user's roll: Customer service at Lyko. The comment was made 11 monthsHey Matina! 😊 Yes, it’s great for wrinkles and pigmentation! If you’ve tried retinal before but haven’t used it regularly, I recommend starting with number 3. If you’re completely new to retinal, number 1 is the best choice to gently acclimate your skin! Use it at night and gradually increase 💌 lyko.com/sv/medik8/medik8-crystal-retinal-1-serum-30-ml lyko.com/sv/medik8/medik8-crystal-retinal-3-serum-30-ml Take care!2 likes

How do I choose the right strength?
Hi! I use the “Retinal + Niacinamide Youth Serum” from the brand “Youth to the People” which contains 0.15% stabilized retinaldehyde. I really like the product but I'm curious about Medik8 and their retinal, so I'm wondering which product I should choose from Medik8 considering what I'm using today? I would be very grateful for guidance!3558 views- The user's roll: Employees at Lyko. The comment was made 1 yearsI understand! When I look, it seems like Medik8 Crystal Retinal 10 – contains about 0.10 % retinaldehyde, which is close to your current strength and a good alternative. If you want to start cautiously, choose Crystal Retinal 6 (0.06 %) and ramp up later. Tip: Introduce the product gradually anyway, even if the strength is similar – just a reminder that the formula differs between brands. Feel free to continue with soothing and moisturizing products in parallel. Hope this can help you a bit on your way and wish you good luck with your skincare😊3 likes

Main ingredients
RETINAL/RETINAL DEHYDE:
This is the next generation form of vitamin A that works 11 times
faster than retinol. Retinaldehyde enhances collagen production,
accelerates cell renewal and inhibits pigment production for one
youthful skin with an even tone. Retinal is also antibacterial and
counteracts Propionibacterium acnes which causes acne.
HYALURONIC ACID:
Hyaluronic acid has a unique ability to attract and retain more than
1,000 times its own weight in water and attracts moisture from the surrounding
the air and the lower skin layers to the top layer of the epidermis. Hyaluronic acid with
different molecular weights are used consistently in Medik8's products. When molecules
with different weight used together they distribute the moisture in all together
skin layer for soft and supple skin.
VITAMIN C:
Antioxidative effect that counteracts the free radicals that occur in
UV radiation and fights visible signs of aging.
Vegan (certified by The Vegan Society as formulated without ingredients or by-products of animal origin) formula.
