Frequently asked questions
Which Medik8 best-seller should I buy first?
Which Medik8 best-seller should I buy first?
If you buy one, make it Crystal Retinal, Medik8's stabilised vitamin A night serum that comes in rising strengths from 1 to 10. Pair it with C-TETRA vitamin C by day and Hydr8 B5 for hydration, and you have a complete morning-and-night core. Add Press & Glow to smooth and Liquid Peptides to firm as your routine grows.
How do these five bestsellers fit into one routine?
How do these five bestsellers fit into one routine?
Morning is C-TETRA vitamin C, then Hydr8 B5 on damp skin, then moisturiser and SPF. Night is Press & Glow swept on after cleansing, followed by Crystal Retinal, with Liquid Peptides layered underneath for extra firming support. Keep vitamin C and retinal at opposite ends of the day rather than mixing them in one sitting.
Which Crystal Retinal strength should a beginner choose?
Which Crystal Retinal strength should a beginner choose?
Start at Crystal Retinal 1 or 3 if you're new to vitamin A, using it two to three nights a week before building to nightly. Move up to 6, then 10, only once each strength feels comfortable with no lingering flaking. The retinal in every strength converts to active vitamin A faster than standard retinol, so patience at the lower numbers pays off.
Can I use Crystal Retinal and C-TETRA together?
Can I use Crystal Retinal and C-TETRA together?
Yes — use C-TETRA vitamin C in the morning and Crystal Retinal at night, which keeps each active in its ideal window and protects skin from doing too much at once. On nights you use retinal, follow with a ceramide moisturiser and always wear SPF the next day. Skip the retinal for a night or two if skin feels tight.
How long until I see results from these bestsellers?
How long until I see results from these bestsellers?
Expect fresher, more hydrated-looking skin within days of adding Hydr8 B5, brighter tone in four to six weeks from C-TETRA, and smoother, firmer-looking skin in eight to twelve weeks from Crystal Retinal. Vitamin A rewards patience, so hold each Crystal Retinal strength for several weeks before stepping up. Keep the routine consistent morning and night to compound the results.
