Delivering gentle fine line-reducing benefits, the Medik8 Crystal Retinal 1 Serum is an advanced retinaldehyde formula that protects from the noticeable signs of ageing. Powered by 0.01% stabilised retinal, the treatment is suitable for beginners and those with sensitive skin thanks to a blend of nourishing actives and time-release encapsulation technology.
The fast-acting form of vitamin A is known for its skin-smoothing effect and potent renewing properties. Paired with hyaluronic acid, glycerin and vitamin E, the serum diminishes the look of uneven texture, dullness and discolouration to encourage the illusion of enhanced elasticity and bounce. Recommended by dermatologists, the innovative Crystal Retinal collection features a unique ladder of five progressive strengths (0.01 - 0.2%) to ensure optimal results at every level of your retinaldehyde journey.
- 97% felt their skin had a more youthful appearance*
- 20% reduction in the appearance of wrinkles*
- 20% reduction in visible hyperpigmentation*
- 11% increase in skin firmness*
- 100% felt Crystal Retinal was gentle on their skin*
*Proven via independent clinical study on one tube of Crystal Retinal 6. Tested on 33 participants over 12 weeks.
Step 1: After cleansing in the evening, apply 2 pumps of Crystal Retinal to the face and neck. Allow to absorb then follow with a moisturiser. We recommend Advanced Night Restore which is specifically designed to be used after vitamin A.
Step 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 the next morning after using vitamin A.
NOTE: Ladder up your visible age-defying results over time with Crystal Retinal's 5 progressive strengths (0.01% - 0.1% retinaldehyde). For those with very sensitive skin, we recommend starting with Crystal Retinal 1 (0.01%). However, most Crystal Retinal and vitamin A beginners start on Crystal Retinal 3 (0.03%). If you're an experienced vitamin A user already, start at Crystal Retinal 6 (0.06%) before working your way up to Crystal Retinal 10 (0.1%).

5* product
So happy I finally gave this product a go!! I was a little skeptical to begin with and I was worried how my sensitive skin might be after using hence why I chose the 0.3% to begin with. After only 2 weeks of using (twice weekly) my skin is amazing!!! Skin feels firmer, acne scaring has immediately gone down and skin appears brighter. I am so happy! I have experienced really dry/flaky skin after the 2nd time of using this - I was pre warned this could happen. This is all in the process and for me to stick with it. I was recommended to use a hyaluronic acid product (serum/cream) on wet face after cleansing as this helps restore hydration. For anyone that is in the hesitation stage of buying this - GO FOR IT! You will not be disappointed! Worth every penny

I’ve always been interested in fashion and makeup, and continue to be so. Over the years I’ve tried products from most of the leading manufacturers mainly loving French, British, Japanese and American products. I’m an Advertiser’s dream, and even though I’ve been frequently disappointed with products, I continue to buy at the age of 72 years! My latest purchase, Medik8, has left me speechless. I have a good complexion with only a few facial lines, however this product is outstanding. If it can help to improve a skin which is over 70 years old, this should be at the top of your list as your very next buy.

Amazing
I love the product and have noticed a difference in my skin when used daily. Smells nice and I haven’t experienced any irritation which I got from inkey list retinol. The only issue is the pump isn’t that great as it gets stuck a lot. I would defo recommend though and will purchase the next percentage when I run out.

AMAZING!
I bought this after reading the reviews, I have oily/ acne prone skin so was a bit wary at first. I have been using this a few weeks now and wow it has changed my skin completely!!! Break outs are at bay and skin is so smooth. Can’t wait to move up to number 3 soon. 100% recommend.. if you are thinking about buying it DO IT!!
