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%).

Expensive but effective
I bought this to help with wrinkles and acne , it’s a really pleasant product to use and seems to be working for both concerns . It’s not caused any drying or skin reactions .

Great strength
This is a good product and also a great strength. The texture is good and non-irritating. This is so effective yet so easy to use. Choose the strength that suit you better.

The best retinol
Love Medik8 as a brand - this has given results without the peeling/soreness that can often be experienced with certain retinols. Love it and have repurchased often.

The best
My skin loves retinal way more than regular retinol. I have tried all of the strengths of medik8 crystal retinal, as this one is the strongest, I currently do not use this everyday, but after every application I wakeup with visibly improved skin, with my main concern being acne and post acne. No irritation, just sometimes a little dryness.

CR 10
Medik8 CR series is gold, if your looking for a good retinal you need to use Medik8 CR. I have used CR1 when I first started using Retinal, then jumped to CR6. Retinal definitely improves your skin and now its exciting to try the CR10 strength and praying it does wonders to my skin. Retinal does not irritate skin or cause flakiness, but definitely use it max 3 or 4 times a week.
