What the gurus are saying

Unanimous yay from 2 reviewers. The Budget Dermatologist and April Basi both rate it highly. Top take: "The way that they formulated this with ceramides, it helps restore and fortify your skin barrier. So, you don't get irritation from the retinaldehyde, but then you're still getting the results.", The Budget Dermatologist.

"The way that they formulated this with ceramides, it helps restore and fortify your skin barrier. So, you don't get irritation from the retinaldehyde, but then you're still getting the results. [...] This really started it all when I first discovered this product from Medik8. It led to my whole deep dive into finding their best products. [...] This was my favorite product last year when I discovered it. So, I called it my 2024 product of the year. I did a whole deep dive video on why this was my favorite product of the entire year last year and I'm still on my game with this cuz there is nothing better in my opinion."

"This one is a little pricey, a little over $50, a Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye cream, and it's amazing for helping to improve signs of aging around the eyes. I honestly recommend this one if you're a little bit older, so if you're in your late 40s to 50s this one is amazing for helping to reduce the look of crow's feet or wrinkles on the side of the eye. It'll also help to lift and depuff your eye because it contains ceramides and hyaluronic acid, which are amazing for really building up the skin barrier, helping to increase elasticity in that area, and making it look tighter, firmer and smoother. It also has encapsulated retinol, which only has one conversion step to retinoic acid so it's actually pretty gentle even though you'd think it might be irritating, and they've encapsulated it so it stays potent until it reaches where it's targeted to work. This product really helps bring fresh skin cells to the surface of the skin faster so your skin won't look dull or dry, and it'll help any dark circles visibly start to disappear."
