Frequently asked questions

Which Medik8 retinal or retinol should I start with?

If you're new to vitamin A, begin with Crystal Retinal 3 or Retinol 3TR and use it two nights a week. Once your skin is comfortable, climb through Crystal Retinal 6, 10 and beyond, or move to R-Retinoate Day & Night, which combines retinal and retinol for an advanced anti-ageing result. Intelligent Retinol TR suits those who prefer a classic retinol over retinal.

How do I introduce a Medik8 retinal without irritation?

Apply a pea-sized amount to dry skin at night, twice a week for the first fortnight, then build to alternate nights and finally nightly as tolerated. Always follow with a moisturiser and use SPF every morning, since vitamin A makes skin more sun-sensitive. If you see flaking, drop back a step rather than stopping altogether.

What's the difference between Crystal Retinal and R-Retinoate?

Crystal Retinal is pure stabilised retinaldehyde at a single strength per bottle, ideal for building tolerance step by step. R-Retinoate Day & Night pairs retinal with retinol in a patented complex for a gradual-release treatment you use morning and night. R-Retinoate Intense delivers the same technology in a richer night cream for drier, mature skin.

Can I use Medik8 retinal during pregnancy?

No — vitamin A serums like Crystal Retinal, Retinol 3TR and R-Retinoate are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Switch to peptide and vitamin C options such as Liquid Peptides and C-TETRA during that time, and return to your retinal afterwards. Speak to your midwife or GP if you're unsure. For advice specific to your pregnancy, please contact us at hello@skintique.co.uk.

Choose your Medik8 retinal

Medik8 is famous for vitamin A. Crystal Retinal uses fast-acting retinaldehyde in a clear strength ladder (1, 3, 6, 10, 20) so you can step up gradually; R-Retinoate combines retinal and retinol for advanced anti-ageing; and Retinol 3TR and Intelligent Retinol TR offer gentler time-release options.

How to introduce retinal

Start at the lowest strength a few nights a week on clean skin and build up as tolerated. Use only at night and always wear a broad-spectrum SPF the next day.
