30ml

Discover youthful skin with Medik8 Crystal Retinal, the ground-breaking serum that reinvented vitamin A skincare. Featuring retinaldehyde, the next-generation retinoid that is 11x faster acting than retinol^[1], now available in a series of 5 progressive strengths to accompany you on your journey to Beautiful Skin For Life.

WHO IS THIS FOR

Crystal Retinal is our ‘everyone’ vitamin A. It is renowned for its universal hydrating texture and low-irritation potential, while delivering profound, proven age-defying results.

Extremely sensitive skins should start low on Crystal Retinal 1 (0.01% retinal), with Crystal Retinal 3 (0.03%) best for sensitive skins or for those nervous about using retinal. Most people can start on Crystal Retinal 6 (0.06%) and gradually move up to Crystal Retinal 10 (0.1%) & 20 (0.2%) for clinical-strength results.

RETINAL VS RETINOL

RetinOl is two conversion steps away from active retinoid ‘retinoic acid’, whereas retinAl is just one step away. So you get faster, elevated results.

Retinal improves all of the visible signs of ageing 11 times faster than retinol^[1].

Unlike other forms of vitamin A, our Crystal Retinal formula is suitable for even the most sensitive skins.

Retinal is the only form of vitamin A with antibacterial properties, making it perfect for oily or blemish-prone complexions.

WHY IT’S UNIQUE

Crystal Retinal is a one-of-a-kind innovation within the retinoid category. Not only featuring a patented stability system to offer unparalleled sustained levels of retinal power, Medik8 have taken it one step further and developed a progressive 5-strength ladder from 0.01% to 0.2% retinal. Harness the power of this molecule in a skin-friendly solution to build visible results comfortably over time.

• How To Use
  1. Use in the evening. First cleanse, then apply 2 pumps of Crystal Retinal over face and neck. Allow to absorb then follow with a moisturiser. We recommend Advanced Night Restore, designed to be used after vitamin A.
  2. For new users of Crystal Retinal, phase application in gradually. Use twice a week for the first 2 weeks, every other night for the next 2 weeks, then every night. You should always use a sunscreen in the morning while using vitamin A.
  3. Patch testing prior to use is advised. Refer to medik8.co/patch for an in-depth guide to patch testing
  4. Crystal Retinal 20 should only be used by those who have comfortably finished at least 2 tubes of Crystal Retinal 10, due to it containing a very high strength of retinaldehyde (0.2%).
