Shoppers can get 20% off Medik8’s new anti-ageing serum that smooths w

Serums are the saviours in the world of skincare, offering more powerful ingredients than face creams. If you’re dealing with fine lines and uneven skin tone, Medik8 launched a new addition to its anti-ageing retinol range this week – and it really packs a punch.

The Crystal Retinal 24, normally priced at £109, has a potency that works 11 times faster than standard retinol to tackle concerns like stubborn wrinkles and dark spots. It is stronger than its predecessors – strengths 1, 3, 6, 10 and 20, which can be found at Amazon and Lookfantastic.

This overnight formula promises age-defying results with firmer, clearer skin in just months. What’s more shoppers can get 20% off the product thanks to skincare buff and content creator Andrew Wheatcroft, who has teamed up with Medik8 to launch a one-day discount code: ANDREW20. The offer is only available until 11.59pm tonight (August 31), so you need to be quick.

What makes this serum so special – and why skincare professionals approve – is that it delivers younger-looking, radiant and firmer skin in a matter of days, plus it diminishes wrinkles in just one tube.

The popular vitamin A formula is known for being relatively gentle on the skin, whilst reducing signs of ageing. In a study, 97% of users noticed their skin looked more youthful after using the serum. It’s designed with a patented retinal stability system that ensures “unmatched retinal potency and effectiveness until the very last drop.”

Usually £109, the Crystal Retinal 24 can be yours with 20% off using the code ANDREW20 – a saving of over £20. However, as mentioned earlier, the discount can only be applied to your basket before 11.59pm on August 31. Andrew isn’t the only one impressed with the quick results of this game-changing serum, as surveys conducted among Medik8 users also showed positive outcomes, reports MyLondon.

Speaking about the new product on his Instagram, Andrew explained how Crystal Retinal “transformed” his skin and hailed it as his “most recommended product”. He penned: “It also works to visibly improve tone but also brighten, it really does it all”.

While it’s a new launch, more than 3,000 beauty fans have already reviewed the serum on the Medik8 site. One said ‘it works on this 59-year-old,’ adding: “I can’t quite believe it but there is a very definite improvement in my skin. It’s becoming much clearer, it looks fresher and the fine lines are becoming less noticeable. I will definitely be buying again which is a shame as it’s quite expensive but thankfully not a waste of money unlike many other products that I have bought previously. I’m hooked!”

A second said: “I’ve almost finished my first tube of this, what can I say, WOW! Already my skin is glowing and the pigmentation has started to lighten. The fine lines and wrinkles are noticeable reducing and I’m having friends comments on how clear and fresh my skin looks. This has been a game changer in my skincare routine and will be a continued purchase to helps with skins of ageing!”

A third said: “Amazing product! This is the best retinol serum on the market. My wrinkles are really improved and my skin texture including pores and blemishes are so much better I’ve switched from foundation to a tinted moisturiser. Can’t recommend this enough.”

However, one shopper said they found the formula a little bit patchy: “Been using crystal retinal for about 2 years (started on 3 and built up to 20). Unfortunately the 20 feels really patchy upon application. I end up with orange patches and sometimes pilling. I believe that they will improve the formula overtime as this is a new product ” 

If you are tempted to get the product with a solid saving, there are just hours to snap up the newly released Medik8 serum. Just remember if you want to get it for less than £100, be sure to take advantage of the ANDREW20 discount code while you can.

For those on a budget, Andrew also took to TikTok and recommended The Ordinary’s 0.2% retinal emulsion, which costs £12.16 on Boots. Another potent retinal serum is the Paula’s Choice retinol serum for £61 on Cult Beauty.
