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%).

Good product
This cream makes my skin so soft by the morning. It goes on well with no residue. I have previously used retinol products so went straight to using the retinol 10 serum without any trouble. I use the medik8 vitamin c 15 in the mornings and with both combined I have smoother, clearer skin.

Best product ever
I’ve finished the crystal retinal 6 which I absolutely loved. I didn’t have a single bit of skin shedding which I had daily with a previous retinol subscription service. I have now moved onto 10 and am getting even better results again. Well worth the money

Best retinol
I love this brand. My skin is tolerant to actives as I have used them for years. This retinol is such a beautiful formula. I love Paula’s Choice but her retinol irritates my skin but this one is a superior formula all round. Expensive but wait fir a discount and get it! I did start with number 3 just in case. As tolerant as my skin is it can still react. I love all Medik8. Such a great range.

Combination/mix skin
So far I've only been using Crystal Retinal 10 for a few days. I like the results so far. I have combination skin - dry and oily at the same time with open pores and acne. After using Retinal, some of my pimples have dried up on the inside and I can get rid of them easily after cleansing my face.. I started using Retinal 10 because I had already used another brand's product with Retinal 5/0.5% without my knowledge. I didn't know about it, but it was worth sticking with. I'll be purchasing more C-Tetra Cream (for my morning routine) and Hydr8 hyaluronic acid serum (for morning and evening). I'll let you know how it turned out. For my skin type, I want to avoid high SPF in the cream, I have SPF 15 in my makeup.

Excellent
This is fantastic; I've never reacted to it, and it creates gorgeous skin with diligent use. I know it won't be the same as having fillers / botox etc, but for those who don't want to do that, this would be the next best thing ( that's over the counter ).
