Science-backed skincare brand Medik8 is having a massive sale on its serums, creams and moisturisers.
Medik8 has launched it’s Black Friday deals with 25% off site wide meaning skincare fans can get their hands on the brand’s best selling products less. As well as the discount, from November 24 to December 3, shoppers can also receive a free gift. Orders over £120 will get a free Micellar Mousse worth £25.
It’s the perfect opportunity to try Medik8’s Crystal Retinal face serum – a highly concentrated retinal formula that smooths, brightens, clears and firms your skin. Retinal is as much as 11 times more powerful than retinol, the more common type of vitamin A you’ll find in anti-ageing products. Medik8 says it’s specially-crafted formula ensures its skincare range is stable, powerful and consistent.
As part of the Black Friday sale Crystal Retinal strength 6 is £51.75 for 30ml instead of £69. This retinal-infused night cream is a powerful wrinkle, dark spot, and congestion-busting night cream available in a variety of strengths.

It’s recommended that you start with a lower strength and slowly build up. One happy customer said: “Love this product! I’m 66 years old and lived most of my life in the sun, we didn’t use sunscreen in my youth and I’m definitely showing signs of pigmentation.
“Since using Crystal Retinal and going up in strength, my skin has improved dramatically. I would recommend this and any Medik8 with a gold star rating.”
It’s worth noting that it will work differently for each individual. “I wanted to like this but something in it is breaking me out. I feel like this is better suited for normal to dry skin,” said a Crystal Retinal customer.. If you wanted to try a different brand’s retinal, Facetheory’s Retinal Supreme MultiCream 0.1% costs £47 and also has several positive reviews.
Another Black Friday bargain from Medik8 is the brand’s C Tetra Luxe, is now £44.25 for 30ml instead of £59. This Vitamin C-enhanced serum helps elevate skin’s natural radiance, with antioxidant qualities and deep moisturisation.
One reviewer said: “I was advised to [use] Medik8 after a facial using these products. I cant recommend them enough. I have seen a vast improvement in my skin pigmentation issues.” However another said: “I’ve already used one bottle of C-Tetra Luxe but haven’t seen much difference to be honest. But I’ve re purchased it as I’ve already tried two other brands before and this one feels better than those on my face.”
For some much needed hydration during the dry winter months shoppers can also save on Medik8s Hyrd8 B5 Intense which is £44.25 instead of £59. This hyaluronic acid-based treatment is a powerful moisturising serum that provides long-lasting and rapid effects.
It’s soft and non-sticky, and has the same plumping and firming effects that you can expect from other Medik8 products. “I love this product! Makes my skin so smooth, soft and hydrated.
“I love to use under makeup and it makes my skin look shiny. I got a lot of compliments,” said one shopper. As with all products result vary and another said: “The feel of this serum is lovely but it doesn’t seem to do that much for me.”
If you’re keen to check out some other high-powered alternatives, Kiehls’ Super Multi-Corrective Soft Cream at £51.75 for 50ml (reduced from £69) has legions of fans. There’s also Clinique’s Wrinkle Correction Serum – currently £46.50 for 30ml – that is also said to deliver great results. Or if you were after a really moisturising overnight cream, the Clinique Turnaround Overnight Revitalizing Moisturizer is £44 from Boots.
