It delivers exactly what it promises – and more! My skin is glowing, redness has noticeably reduced, and the overall texture looks smoother and healthier.I’m already finishing my second tube and will definitely repurchase. On top of that, I got it at a great price – even cheaper than on other websites.Absolutely worth it. A top-tier product with real visible results! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant 😄 *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 17 November 2025* I have mature skin , this is best I've used and have just started on Crystal Retinal 3 .. it works ! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 15 February 2024* I had tried a sample of this then proceeded to buy. I would say even with low end retinol to perhaps use sparingly as my skin does seem drier and this can happen. I also think unlike other serums this needs moisture cream also each day. We will see how it goes after a couple of months of using ## Frequently Bought Together - Medik8 Crystal retinal 1 night serum 30ml - Medik8 Surface Radiance Cleanse - AHA and BHA Daily Face Cleanser - Exfoliating, Gentle Foaming Face Wash - Anti-Aging Facial Cleanser - 5.0 oz - Medik8 C-Tetra Day Cream - Lipid Vitamin C Face Cream - Hydrates, Smoothens and Brightens - Luminous and Lightweight Face Moisturizer - 1.7 oz --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/221954853-medik8-crystal-retinal-1-age-defying-serum-0-01-retinal](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/221954853-medik8-crystal-retinal-1-age-defying-serum-0-01-retinal) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-08-27*
