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%).

Medik8 Crystal Retinal 10
If you read Medik8 reviews you will see my name keep popping up as I LOVE their products. I discovered Medik8 after having Covid mask face back in 2020. Before then even if I used high end products I never had ‘great’ results. However, their products healed and brought my skin back to life, it looked better than it had in years! I was put on to their Crystal Retinal by my beautician after having Medik8 Peels. I’ve now worked up to Number 10 and WOW I didn’t think I could still be impressed, but I am! My Skin is continuing to get better and people always comment on how healthy my skin looks. I do attribute it to keeping a rigourous Medik8 routine. If you want great skin I would definitely recommend this and their products, however if you are new to Retinal please educate yourself about it and start at the lower end and not jump straight in to using Number 10.

Love this retinol
I was using Retinol 6 which have been super happy with so decided to go for 10 as been using a while. No sensitivity and so far it's been great.

Amazing
I have gradually built up to 10 and was a little worried about the jump from 6 to 10 but I needn’t have worried as my skin has accepted this really well with no irritation or drying and I have definitely noticed a difference in my skin. I will probably use a couple of tubes of 10 before moving up to 20

Not my first retinal rodeo.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS. it’s gentle but wow have I seen good results. I also use the Sunday Riley a+ retinol which I also like but I think this may have just pipped it to the post. It’s expensive but in my opinion it’s worth the price tag.

Great retinal
Love all Medik8 products but this retinal is my holy grail. I’m 36 years old and have no wrinkles so far. My routine is : vitamin c in the morning, spf during the day and retinal at night. If you are begginer I would suggest you to start from the weaker formula.
