Medik8 Crystal Retinal - strength question

2 replies

WobblyLondoner · 13/12/2021 22:24

I've been using Crystal retinal 3 for about 6 months, and am now using every night without any complications. I just ordered what I thought was the next strength up but have realised that I've skipped straight from level 3 to 10 without using 6. My fault I know - but not helped by the website I bought it from only offering 3 and 10 (so I assumed 10 was the next level up).

Am I going to struggle going directly into 10, even I phase it in twice weekly? Obviously the best way to find out is to give it a go but interested in what others think. The alternative would be to buy a level 6 as put the stronger one away for now.

I started Crystal Retinal at no6, having used Indeed Labs& The Ordinary with no issues, then moved on to No 10. I didn't notice any difference between 6 and 10 , no irritation or sensitivity. It's such a beautiful formula.
Maybe try a couple of times a week, and gradually work up? Alternate with No3?

It really depends on how sensitive your skin is. I had extremely sensitive skin and if I went up to 10 straight away my face would probably fall off Blushbut then I started at 1 and even that was ever so slightly. You may be ok if not sensitive and if you phase it very gradually.
