If you have acne prone skin, or looking for anti aging and antiwrinkle options, there could be something great for you with Medik8!
Medik8 has been one of my favourite brands since beginning my skincare journey. It’s not a cheap brand by any means but the quality of the products you get are well worth it for me.
Below are my five favourite Medik8 products.
I have previously been gifted items from medik8 but this is NOT a sponsored video.
👉🏾 As always, all opinions are my own based on my own acne experience and my years of studying and research.
👇🏽 I’d love to hear the products that work for you so we can build a helpful, informative community of skincare lovers 🙂

Thank you for the video it was very informational and helped me with choosing the right products!
Glad it was helpful! ❤️❤️❤️
I wish I saw this when Medik8 had the 20% off just recently 😭
I currently use Press & Glow, the Crystal Retinal 10 for eyes, Crystal Retinal 10 (almost ready to start CR20), the night eye cream, liquid peptides, and the Miceller Mousse for my first cleanse.
I have acne scarring so I'm going to buy the Press & Clear to use once or twice a week.
I'll also definitely get that Surface Radiance Cleanser as well.
I agree with you about the C-tetra and Hydra B5 Intense. I also did not like the Daily Radiance C cream that had vitamin C in it. It never sinks into my skin.
I unfortunately have bad skin from my teen years because my parents did nothing for it except let my buy the usual acne products at the grocery store that didn't work. They were also the type they would make little jokes about it as well. Now that I'm older, if I had children I couldn't imagine not doing everything I can to help them, and would never tease them about their bad skin. Not that my parents were totally abusive, but horrible skin is one of the biggest embarrassments to have. I just don't understand how they just left my sisters and I to deal with it on our own.
There's only so much any brand can do for my skin, but since starting Crystal Retinol a few years ago, my pores are definitely smaller.
I'm glad it's helping!
The skincare industry has changed so much in recent years! I'm sorry it affected you so much. I hope it's improved and hope my videos can help you ❤️
Really informative, and as post menopausal, oily skinned woman I find the retinal fab, but have never been able to find a Vitamin C serum that works and don't use it. The retinal is so good and worth the money, lasts a long time. All my other skincare products are under £10, but I think medik8 retinal has really improved my skin. I wonder if you have tried their bakuchiol? This also I think comes in an oil base which puts me off due to my oily skin
I agree I’ve struggled with Vitamin C’s a lot. The only two I’ve liked is Sunday Riley and Summer Fridays.
I haven’t tried their bakuchiol. It really depends how your skin likes oils. I’ve come to realise, especially in warm weather, my skin prefers light weight options.
If you are happy with your retinal I wouldn’t bother adding Bakuchiol personally ❤️
I've been repurchasing SPF 50 Advanced Protect Ultimate Cream from Medik8 for months. It's my favourite product 😄
So glad it works for you!! Love that it’s SPF50
Thanks for the video! How would you recommend using the press and clear with the crystal retinal? Is it too much to introduce at the same time for acne prone skin. Thank you!
One at a time is always my rule 🙋🏽♀️
Both would be useful for helping with acne and the CR will give anti-aging benefits
Thank you for this, i use medik8 surface cleanser everyday, and the press and clear everyday only morning, what do you recommend,
Like you i didn’t like the tetra but i loved the b5 intense in the winter. I used that with the press and glow and everyone said i had pregnancy glow😅
My skin personally can’t tolerate the surface cleanser everyday. It’s a bit drying for me but I do think it’s a great cleanser!
@DrSapnaSkin i usually feel my hands r a better way to use the press and clear as when i ise a cotton bud or smthing it feels some of the product gets absorbed by it
Yes! I feel like cotton pads can be wasteful 🤷🏽♀
Thank you for the video! What brand would you recommend instead? I’ve been thinking about la Roche posay or Cerave but not sure if they are good enough to replace Medik8
I love the CeraVe Hydrating Moisturiser and cleanser. Never been a huge fan of La Roche Posay except for the SPFs personally 🤷🏽♀️ take a look into Korean brands
The la roche posay vitamin c is fantastic absolutely fantastic
@@loui_kang ❤ Will give it a try! I've never really tried much outside of the La Roche Posay Cicaplast and SPF range
@DrSapnaSkin I've spend huge money on cosmetics over the years after 2 weeks I knew this was a product ill use my entire life
@@loui_kang ❤ added to the shopping cart 🛒
I don't have acne, but I do occasionally deal with under-skin congestion. I've started using benzac because I wear makeup every day, and I've cut back on my SPF because I spend most of my day indoors. However, I'm really interested in medik8 products, especially the retinal 3 and the blue press and clear. What are your thoughts?
I generally find Benzac quite drying, I’ve done a video on it so check it out.
Either CR3 or press and clear. If it’s not really acne then CR3 would be good for general anti-aging benefits too!
Been eyeing that Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting Liquid, but it's nowhere to be found in the UAE. Thinking of giving the Clean and Clear toner a shot. Benzac doesn't dry me out at all-I usually pair it with QV moisturizer, and it's all good for my skin. Tried tretinoin, too much for me. Differin's great, but I want something stronger, hence the curiosity about CR3. On the lookout for a decent toner I can use 1-2 times a week. @@DrSapnaSkin
Would say that Differin (Adapalene) is probably stronger than CR3, so if that works, keep with it.
My preference is the Press and Clear over the Paula's choice personally ❤️
Thanks for the advice i've purchased both the retinal and toner to test them out!@@DrSapnaSkin
Hi Dr. Sapna, Karla 63 herein Ok. I have seen amazing results using a lot of Medic8 products, like you, I purchased the C Luxe and will continue to use it, but not sure if I like the “Oil Based Serum” my skin is dry and dehydrated, I’ve never had any peeling applying my other serums and SPFs with it, but do not think I will repurchase although it does absorb rather quickly, but Iam convinced that my skin LOVES Timeless Vit C 20%. So glad that your channel popped up on my page. Great review of Medic8. Their Liquid Peptide serum has done amazing things for my texture, large pores and tightness!
So glaf you like ht medik8 products! It seems the C Luxe is love or hate 🤷🏽♀️ just couldn't get on with it, Sunday Riley CEO has been my all time favourite but it's so expensive! Going to be trying more Korean beauty options next
@@DrSapnaSkin have you tried Allies of Skin Vit C Serums? I think I am going to purchase it when almost thru with the Luxe Vit C. I purchased the Benton Vit C Serum from YesStyle. It has no water in it. It’s a bit different, but my skin really likes it. I love all Benton Products.
Hey had a question. I got the medik8 press and clear and i had things i was wondering. Am i supposed to rub it in? Am i supposed to leave it on my face? Is it ok that nothing happens after use? How would i know if anything has happened? Sorry for all the questions just am still learning. Have great night
You don't really need to rub it in, you apply it to a cotton pad and just swipe it across the face and then apply any serums over it.
I always say it takes 8-12 weeks to start seeing changes with skincare, it can take a while so stay consistent 😊
Does the crystal eye 6 help with eye lines? How long until u see results? I used all of 3 strength tube just started on 6?
It can help with eye lines, would advise using it for at least 12 weeks before you see a difference but you have to be patient,
I would generally say that deep lines and hollows won't disappear but they can be softened
Check out my video about the Crystal Retinal range: ruclips.net/video/z2P4l1MBpc8/видео.htmlsi=UQH1CK65sEJal1p7
Hope it helps!
@@DrSapnaSkin thank you so much for replying x I’ll continue with it
I have pigmentation what no# i start ? Thank you
Would always suggest starting at 3 or 6 and slowly building up depending on how your skin tolerates it!
😁😁😁😁
It so expensive!
For sure! It’s a good brand but not all the products are worth the hype 🤷🏽♀️
I swear their crystal retinal 1 gave me holes on my face
Oh no, make sure it's not just dehydration!!
