Why it worked

The video effectively uses a 'before and after' format with weekly progress updates, demonstrating tangible results over time. The creator's initial skepticism and eventual positive review build trust and relatability, making the product's benefits more convincing.

Summary

The creator tests Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3 for 30 days, documenting weekly progress. Initially skeptical, she observes improvements in skin oiliness, pore size, texture, brightness, and fine lines. She concludes by recommending the product and planning to move to a stronger version.

Transcript

No way this is going to make that much of a difference. What I saw before and after results this drastic, I'm always super skeptical. Here I am, a month later with a half empty tube and I'm going to spell the T. This is what I started with. I had fine lines near my mouth as well as under my eyes. I've tried a lot of retinol and it has always irritated my skin. However, this one is actually retinal now, which works 11x faster than retinol while remaining gentle and non-irritating to the skin. All the derms are raving about it. During week 1, no visible change yet. I was letting my skin get used to the ingredient. I was using this every other day. I took two weeks to start using it every single day. And the first thing I noticed was that I had a lot less oil on my face throughout the day. By week 3, my pores definitely appear smaller. It was helping a lot with my skin texture. When I look at week 4 footage, my skin appears to be a lot less dull. My dark spots are starting to fade. I also saw some improvements with my wrinkle faded! Medik8, I apologize for ever doubting your formula. Not my skin is more tolerant. I will be progressing from my Retinal 3 to a Retinal 6 for faster results! You can get these now exclusively at Sephora.
