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.

Available for standard UK delivery where suitable. A consultation is not normally required to purchase this collection. Professional skincare advice is recommended if you have sensitive skin, use prescription skincare or are unsure whether Crystal Retinal 6 is appropriate for your previous vitamin A experience.
FAQs
Is this collection suitable for beginners?
The overall regime is straightforward, but Crystal Retinal 6 is better suited to customers who have already tolerated a lower retinal strength. New vitamin A users may prefer Crystal Retinal 3.
Can I use Liquid Peptides Advanced MP morning and evening?
Yes. It can be used in both routines before vitamin C in the morning and before Crystal Retinal in the evening.
Can I use peptides with vitamin C and retinal?
Yes. Liquid Peptides Advanced MP can be layered within both the morning vitamin C routine and the evening retinal routine.
Do I need a second cleanser?
Lipid-Balance Cleansing Oil can be used alone, but customers wearing heavy makeup or water-resistant sunscreen may prefer to follow with a gentle water-based cleanser purchased separately.
How long will it take to see results?
Hydration and radiance may improve within the first few weeks. Fine lines, firmness and texture generally require consistent use over a longer period, and results vary between individuals.
Can I progress to Crystal Retinal 10 later?
Yes, once Crystal Retinal 6 is comfortably tolerated with regular use. Progress gradually and seek advice if you are unsure whether a stronger retinal is suitable.
Why is daily SPF important in an age-defence routine?
UV exposure is a major contributor to visible premature ageing, including wrinkles, loss of firmness and uneven tone. SPF50+ should remain the final morning skincare step every day.

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.
