Delivering gentle fine line-reducing benefits, the Medik8 Crystal Retinal 10 Serum is an advanced retinaldehyde formula that protects from the noticeable signs of ageing. Powered by 0.1% stabilised retinal that's released via encapsulation technology, the treatment is best suited to experienced users of the active.
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 promote the illusion of enhanced elasticity and bounce. Dermatologist recommended, the innovative Crystal Retinal collection features a unique ladder of five progressive strengths (0.01 - 0.1%) 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 pigmentation*
- 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.
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%).

Love!
Love this! Worked my way up from the crystal retinal 3 and can honestly say it’s made a difference to my skin. Medik8 products are the best!

Great
Does dry me out slightly, I’ve worked my way up in strengths but great for overall skin glow

Gentle but effective
A much gentler alternative to retinol. This helps with rosacea and texture without aggravating my sensitive skin.

Gentle but effective
A gentle alternative to retinol/tret. I’m working my way through the Medik8 intensities and would highly recommend this for anyone who is looking for results but also has sensitive skin.

Great product
Such an elegant cream! I don't have problematic skin, and I've used some other retinol, and retinaldehyde products before, but I didn't see great results. So I jumped into Crystal Retinal 10, and never had any issue. I use it every night, after a half hour I use a peptide serum, and some moisturiser. This is my 3rd tube, my skin so soft and nice, I'm so happy with it!

The best - repurchased many times
50 year old woman. Now using the Crystal Retinal 10 (I built up). Gorgeous texture, smell, feeling. Doesn't stain pillow. I feel gives great results. I live in very hot environment, so don't want to use Retin-A (despite using SPF). Retinal in particular in this formulation have been great winners. Repurchased many times.

Absolutely worth the money. I won’t be with Medik8 retinal products now.
I previously used Retinol products which are much less effective and stung my face. I have worked my way up from Chrystal Retinal 1 and each transition has been smooth, even when using a chemical exfoliation in the morning (also by Medik8). This works perfectly with the matching moisturiser which soothes any possibility of stinging so if you are having trouble with any transition that’s a must! Even without it though it’s gentle but effective. Absolutely worth the money. I won’t be with Medik8 retinal products now.

Amazing results
I’ve gradually been working upwards through the Medik8 retinals and can honestly say the difference is amazing. Yes they are more expensive than others but more than worth it!
