Pregnancy/breastfeeding/medical cautions
This collection contains Crystal Retinal, a vitamin A product. Do not use vitamin A skincare during pregnancy or while trying to conceive. Seek advice from your GP, midwife or healthcare professional before use while breastfeeding.
Patch test each product at least 24 hours before first use. Avoid applying products to broken, inflamed or actively irritated skin. Do not combine Crystal Retinal with another retinol, retinal or prescription retinoid unless advised by a suitable professional.
Delivery/consultation requirement
Available for standard UK delivery where suitable. A consultation is not normally required to purchase this collection. Professional skincare advice is strongly recommended if you are unsure whether Crystal Retinal 10 is appropriate for your previous vitamin A experience.
FAQs
Is the Ultimate Collection suitable for beginners?
No. Crystal Retinal 10 is a high-strength retinal and is best suited to experienced vitamin A users who already tolerate a lower strength such as Crystal Retinal 6.
Are the headband, spatula and skincare guide included?
Yes. The Ultimate Collection includes a complimentary SKN Wellness skincare headband, skincare spatula and step-by-step skincare guide.
Are the complimentary extras included in the £516 RRP?
No. The £516 value reflects the combined standard RRP of the included Medik8 products. The SKN Wellness headband, spatula and skincare guide are provided as complimentary extras.
Do I need to use every product twice a day?
No. The routine can be adjusted according to your skin. The included skincare guide explains which products are essential, which are optional and how to reduce the frequency if the regime feels too active.
Can I use Press & Glow with Crystal Retinal 10?
Many experienced users can use both within the same overall regime. If dryness or sensitivity develops, use Press & Glow in the morning only or alternate exfoliation and retinal on different evenings.
Do I need both cleansers?
Lipid-Balance Cleansing Oil removes makeup, sunscreen and oil-based impurities, while Surface Radiance Cleanse provides the second cleanse and exfoliating benefits. A double cleanse is most useful in the evening or when wearing makeup and water-resistant sunscreen.
How should I use the skincare spatula?
Use the clean, dry spatula to remove cream from the jar rather than using your fingers. Wash it after use and allow it to dry fully before storing.
How long will it take to see results?
Hydration and radiance may improve within the first few weeks. Fine lines, firmness, tone and texture generally require consistent use over a longer period, and results vary between individuals.

FAQs
Is this collection suitable for sensitive skin?
It has been curated specifically for sensitive, redness-prone and easily unsettled skin. Sensitive skin can still react to any new product, so patch test first and introduce the regime gradually.
Does this collection contain retinal or exfoliating acids?
No. The collection has been designed as a gentle barrier-supporting routine without retinal, retinol, salicylic acid, glycolic acid or a dedicated exfoliating toner.
Do I need both moisturisers?
No. Total Moisture Daily Facial Cream is the lighter everyday option, while Advanced Night Restore provides richer overnight nourishment. You can alternate them according to how dry or comfortable your skin feels.
Can I use both moisturisers at night?
Very dry skin may apply Total Moisture Daily Facial Cream first and a small amount of Advanced Night Restore on top. Use only one if applying both feels too rich or causes congestion.
Can this collection cure rosacea?
No cosmetic skincare collection can diagnose or cure rosacea. The products may support comfort and the appearance of redness, but persistent or worsening symptoms should be assessed by a GP or suitable healthcare professional.
Can I add vitamin C or retinal later?
Yes, once the skin feels settled and comfortable. Introduce only one active product at a time and choose a lower-strength option where appropriate. Seek advice if your skin is highly reactive.
Can I use this after a professional skin treatment?
Calmwise Soothing Cleanser is positioned by Medik8 for sensitised and post-treatment skin, but always follow the aftercare given by your treating practitioner before applying any skincare.
How quickly should my skin feel calmer?
Some customers may notice improved comfort after the first few uses, while visible redness and barrier recovery may take longer. Results vary depending on the cause and severity of the sensitivity.

FAQs
What is the difference between dry and dehydrated skin?
Dry skin generally produces less natural oil, while dehydrated skin lacks water and can affect any skin type, including oily skin. This collection supports both moisture replenishment and the skin barrier.
Can oily skin use this collection?
Yes. Oily skin can still be dehydrated. Use Hydr8 B5 Intense and adjust the amount or frequency of the moisturisers according to how your skin feels.
Do I need both moisturisers?
They serve different purposes. Total Moisture Daily Facial Cream is a versatile day and night moisturiser, while Advanced Night Restore provides richer overnight nourishment. You can alternate them rather than applying both together.
Should Hydr8 B5 Intense be applied to damp skin?
It can be applied after cleansing while the skin is slightly damp, then followed promptly with moisturiser to help seal in hydration.
Can I use this collection with Crystal Retinal?
Yes. The hydration products can complement a retinal routine. Apply Hydr8 B5 Intense before Crystal Retinal and moisturiser afterwards, unless your skincare professional advises a different order.
Can I use Total Moisture Daily Facial Cream underneath SPF?
Yes. Apply it before Advanced Day Ultimate Protect SPF50+ if your skin needs extra hydration. Keep sunscreen as the final morning skincare step.
Is this collection suitable for sensitive skin?
The regime has been selected to prioritise gentle cleansing and hydration, but sensitive skin can react to any new product. Patch test first and introduce products one at a time.
How quickly will my skin feel more hydrated?
The skin may feel softer and more comfortable soon after application. Longer-term improvements in visible plumpness and barrier comfort depend on consistent use and individual skin needs.

Pregnancy/breastfeeding/medical cautions
This collection contains Crystal Retinal, a vitamin A product. Medik8 generally recommends avoiding vitamin A during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Do not use Crystal Retinal while pregnant or trying to conceive, and seek advice from your GP, midwife or healthcare professional before using the collection while breastfeeding.
Do not combine Crystal Retinal with another retinol, retinal or prescription retinoid unless advised by a suitable professional. Avoid applying the products to broken, inflamed or actively irritated skin.
Delivery/consultation requirement
Available for standard UK delivery where suitable. A consultation is not normally required to purchase this collection. Professional advice is recommended for persistent or severe acne, prescription skincare use, sensitive skin or uncertainty about whether retinal and exfoliating acids are suitable for you.
FAQs
Is this collection suitable for acne?
This collection is intended for oily, congested and blemish-prone skin. Persistent, painful, cystic or scarring acne should be assessed by a GP, pharmacist or appropriate healthcare professional rather than managed only with cosmetic skincare.
Why does the collection contain Niacinamide Peptides rather than Clarity Peptides?
Niacinamide Peptides is Medik8’s current 10% niacinamide and peptide serum for blemishes, visible pores, uneven texture, redness and barrier support. It replaces the earlier Clarity Peptides product within this updated collection.
Can I use Press & Clear and Crystal Retinal together?
Yes. Medik8 states that Press & Clear can be used alongside Crystal Retinal. New users should introduce both gradually and alternate them on different evenings if dryness or irritation develops.
Can I use Clarifying Foam twice a day?
It may be used morning and evening when comfortably tolerated. If your skin becomes dry, tight or sensitive, reduce it to once daily or alternate it with a gentler cleanser.
Do I use Balance Moisturiser and SPF together?
Balance Moisturiser can be applied before Advanced Day Ultimate Protect SPF50+ when extra hydration or oil-balancing support is needed. Always keep SPF as the final morning skincare step.
Will the collection make my skin purge?
Changes in blemishes can occur when exfoliating acids or retinal are introduced, but significant, painful or prolonged worsening should not automatically be treated as purging. Reduce use and seek advice if symptoms are severe or persistent.
How long will it take to see results?
Oil balance, smoothness and visible congestion may begin to improve within the first few weeks. Blemishes, post-blemish marks and uneven texture usually require consistent use over a longer period, and results vary between individuals.
Can I use benzoyl peroxide or prescription acne treatment with this regime?
Do not combine several strong active or prescription treatments without advice. Speak to your prescriber, pharmacist or skincare professional before using this collection alongside benzoyl peroxide, prescription retinoids or prescription acne medication.
