Aussie women lose it over ‘miracle’ range that transforms their dull, ageing skin in weeks – and it works 11 times faster than retinol

Beauty lovers are obsessed with a ‘miracle’ skincare brand that many say has given them a youthful glow and reduced the appearance of wrinkles in just weeks.

And it’s all thanks to retinal, an ingredient that works eleven times faster than retinol.

Started from a shed in 2009 by ‘chemical brothers’ Elliot and Daniel Isaacs from Britain, Medik8 has grown into a global empire with customers claiming to see results after just one use.

The brand’s award-winning Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye cream, the world’s first clinical-strength retina on the under-eye market, is a fan favorite for its anti-aging formula.

Customers report that they have noticed their skin looking plumper and visibly softening the signs of aging after just 12 weeks of using the Crystal Retinal Eye Cream and Crystal Retinal Facial Serum.

Daniel, Medik8’s Research Director and Chief Product Officer, told FEMAIL that retinal (short for retinaldehyde) is also a retinoid and a form of vitamin A that can provide a host of benefits to the skin.

“(Vitamin A) helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, increases cell turnover for a visibly brighter, fresher skin tone and can provide an even, more youthful-looking complexion,” he explained.

‘It also helps minimize the appearance of blemishes and promotes and maintains overall healthy-looking skin.’

Retinal has been shown to repair skin, leaving it looking and feeling flawless 11 times faster than classic retinol.

The Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye starts at $85 and should be applied at night after cleansing.

There are three progressive forces in the retina that ensure that results never stagnate.

‘When introducing a retinoid or new active ingredient into a regimen, it should be introduced gradually so as not to overwhelm the skin. For new users, use twice a week for the first two weeks, every other night for the next two weeks, and then every night,” Daniel explained.

‘Always start with a low strength retinoid. Once your skin has built up a tolerance to the ingredient, you can move up to a higher strength.”

The Crystal Retinal collection also includes a line of facial serums that can be used in combination with the eye cream for an overall radiant complexion

The ‘miracle’ eye cream has racked up more than 596 five-star reviews.

One woman said she sees her expression lines fade after just four weeks of use.

Daniel Isaacs, Medik8’s director of research and chief product officer, said retinal is also a retinoid and a form of vitamin A that can provide a host of benefits to the skin.

“Since using this product, I have noticed that the fine lines around my eyes have reduced and the eye area appears brighter,” said another reviewer.

‘You don’t need too much of the product at a time, so it lasts quite a long time. Nice and lightweight.’

‘I have very sensitive skin, I did the patch test, the slow introduction to using it and had no sensitivity issues whatsoever,’ said a third.

‘I’ve been using this for a few weeks and am starting to see results. I am hopeful that this treatment will remove the lines around my eyes.’

The Stable Retinal Night Serum has five different strengths that allow users to increase their skin’s tolerance to the retina.

Dr. Daniel added that those who use retinoids should apply sunscreen in the morning.

‘Retinol should only be applied at night as it is not a photostable ingredient. This means it is deactivated when exposed to direct sunlight,” he said.

The Isaacs brothers are the brains behind Medik8 and started the company from a small laboratory behind their father’s pharmacy.

In the laboratory, the pair created the Calmwise and Firewalls serums before Medik8 officially launched in Britain in 2009 with a range of cosmeceuticals.

Just a year later, Medik8’s Advanced Day Total Protect was crowned Best Anti-Aging Cream at the Celebs on Sunday Beauty Awards and has since won a litany of awards, medals and accolades.

This year, the brothers celebrate Medik8’s 15th anniversary and have grown the brand into a global skin care leader, helping thousands of people maintain healthy-looking, beautiful skin.
