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.
Every SKN Wellness Medik8 Collection contains genuine Medik8 products selected to help you build an effective skincare routine with confidence. The Ultimate Collection also includes a complimentary SKN Wellness skincare headband, skincare spatula and step-by-step skincare guide to help you follow your regime correctly.
