Beauty buffs looking to reverse the signs of ageing know that there is one product that seems to live up to its promises.
It’s Medik8’s iconic Crystal Retinal and it is said to be so good that it has shoppers saying it has “replaced” Botox injections. For anyone considering trying it out, it’s officially on offer for 20 per cent less.
The celebrity-approved skincare firm is running the discount across a range of its bestselling products that deliver proven results. As an extra incentive, shoppers who spend £150 or more will get three travel-sized products, worth £49, completely free.

Medik8’s award-winning Crystal Retinal itself is available in six different strengths, starting from one for beginners to 24 for long-time users. This means that the price-tag does differ as well, with prices previously ranging between £45 to £109 – but the expert strength is now down £36 to £87.20 with the discount.
Hailed as “the UK’s number one dermatological serum”, Crystal Retinal uses the firm’s next generation vitamin A, being the only serum on the market to do so. Unlike regular retinol, Medik8’s formula is said to act “11 times faster”, allowing you to see results faster.
Designed to provide “wrinkle reduction in just one tube”, the iconic night serum also incorporates other skin-loving ingredients such as vitamin E and hyaluronic acid. This means it doesn’t just target wrinkles and fine lines, but also firmness and hydration.
With Crystal Retinal being arguably Medik8’s most beloved line, it’s no wonder it has earned a 4.8 rating from enthusiastic beauty fans who have hailed it as a “wrinkle busting miracle” that they “would not be without.”
One five-star review read: “My favourite retinal, I love its texture, smell, and overall results. It made a significant difference on my acne scars and age spots. This replaced my Botox injections.”
A second Botox user said: “My skin has never looked so good since using this! My fine lines are reduced so no need for botox anymore (I know I can’t believe it!) And my skin tone is more even. I would not be without this product.”
Another delighted user added: “A step up from my usual no3, nice to be able to try a sample first. Works well, a non drying, wrinkle busting miracle!”
While another said: “This product has vastly improved the clarity and quality of my skin. I love it for giving luminosity, brightness and for its amazing result on my fine lines and wrinkles. I would not be without it.”
It is worth noting that not all shoppers have been impressed with the results, as one disappointed user wrote: “I didn’t notice much difference with my skin. Just very minor improvements in terms of hydration and tone.”

While the anti-ageing line is unique to Medik8, there are many other similar alternatives that can help target signs of ageing. For example, the £22 e.l.f. Skin Youth Boosting Advanced Night Retinoid Serum is said to improve fine lines and wrinkles within “four weeks.”
Another intense option is Neutrogena’s Retinol Boost+ Intense Night Serum that uses the firm’s “highest concentration of pure retinol”. A 30ml tube can be purchased from Boots for £27.79.
