Sally Foran: I tried Medik8's €140 'age-defying' retinal facial — here's what I thought
Medik8's new crystal retinal age-defying facial combines two of my favourite elements in skin care — retinal and facial massage. Designed in collaboration with master facialist Michaella Bolder, it merges the brand's signature retinal technology with an expert sculpting massage to tackle signs of ageing, all while remaining kind to skin. I travelled to The Spa at Johnston Estate, Co Meath for an exclusive trial of the new treatment. Here's what I thought. Who are Medik8? Medik8 are the UK's number one dermatological brand, best known for their iconic 'Crystal Retinal' range. Retinal, a form of vitamin A, works up to 11 times faster than standard retinol. It's the strongest retinoid available without prescription and is just one conversion away for the active retinoic acid (most retinols are a couple of conversaions away from retinoic acid meaning they can cause less irritation, but can also be less effective). Medik8's Crystal Retinal range has options for beginners through to seasoned retinol/retinal pros Available in six strengths, from beginners to long-time retinal users, there's an option for everyone in the range. With antibacterial properties, it is also ideal for acne-prone skin. Many experts now recommend using retinal instead of retinol, just make sure you start 'low and slow', gradually increasing strengths as your skin adjusts. I chose Medik8 when I started my retinal journey and after experiencing impressive results, it's doubtful I'll ever switch to a prescription-strength retinoid. What is the 'age defying facial'? Daniel Isaac, Medik8's chief product officer and founding partner, said the new crystal retinal age defying facial "marks a new era" for the brand. "For the first time we're bringing our award-winning retinal technology into the clinic, offering a fully customisable results-driven treatment, that combines the age-defying power of retinal and Vitamin C in one treatment" It's also notable that Michaella Boulder, a leading master facialist with over 17 years of experience, has had a hand in its design. A favourite amongst celebrities and global skincare brands, I first discovered Michaella at a Lancome event in London, and after witnessing her signature, sculpting massage techniques in action, I immediately became a fan. Facial massage has many benefits; it improves blood flow, stimulates collagen, reduces inflammation, eases tension and promotes relaxation. Boulder says she designed the bespoke massage to work "in perfect harmony with Medik8's powerful anti-ageing crystal retinal formula and enhance its results'. Combining vitamins A and C with sculpting techniques helps to optimise retinal absorption, lift facial contours, support lymphatic drainage and deliver both instant and long-term results. This unique combination promises to offer a transformative result, leaving skin smoother, firmer and clearer. My experience Sally Foran, before her facial As the facial is customisable, my treatment began with a skin analysis. After a thorough cleanse, a light lactic acid peel was applied. Next, drops of crystal retinal were mixed with 10% pure vitamin C, in a hydrating mask. These drops are fast-releasing, for a quicker hit, unlike at home retinal, which is slower releasing. The mask was massaged into my face and neck, with Boulder's sculpting techniques, enabling the ingredients to penetrate deeper into my skin, for the ultimate absorption of retinal. I left with sculpted, glowing, nourished and smoother skin, which lasted for days. I left with a customised recommended retinal routine to foll at home to futher enhance and accelerate results. Sally Foran, after her facial Recommended for anyone who wants to soften fine lines and wrinkles, enhance radiance, plump, firm, depuff or sculpt skin, it is the ideal pre-event facial. I'm already planning my next visit! The details Location: The Spa at The Johnstown Estate, Co Meath. Cost: €140 for 60 minutes, with 90 minutes of rest and relaxation included in the spa's thermal facilities Sally Foran received a complimentary treatment in exchange for a fair and honest review

L'Oréal to Acquire British Skincare Brand Medik8
L'Oréal has acquired a majority stake in British skincare brand Medik8, the companies announced Monday. The brand will be managed under the beauty giant's Luxe division, sitting alongside premium lines like Aesop and Kiehl's. The terms of the transaction were not disclosed, though a recent report in the Financial Times said the brand was valued at roughly $1 billion. Medik8, which was founded in 2009 by Elliot Isaacs, sells science-backed serums that are designed to preserve and restore skin, including its popular Liquid Peptides ($66) and Crystal Retinal ($85) ranges. It has a production and research facility in Buckinghamshire, England, where it manufactures its products. In 2021, Medik8 was acquired by private equity firm Inflexion. Sales reached $70 million to $80 million in 2024, following a push into the US market. Science-backed skincare has been a boon for L'Oréal, which also owns other 'dermocosmetics' brands like the mass lines Cerave and La Roche Posay, as well prestige names like Skinceuticals and Skinbetter Science. 'We share a strong belief in Medik8's global potential,' said Cyril Chapuy, president of L'Oréal Luxe, in a statement.

Beauty's Top M&A Targets for 2025 After a slow year for acquisitions, brands and investors alike are hoping that 2025 will yield bigger exits. But with most strategic buyers like L'Oréal operating with an even narrower lens, only a select few firms will make it across the finish line.
