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%).

Wouldn’t use any other
I have been working my way up (slowly) through all of Medik8 retinol and now reaches Crystal 10. I have had zero irritation, even when moving through higher strengths. I wouldn’t buy any other.

Noticeable change within weeks
I have used retinol products from Peter Thomas Roth, Sunday Ridley and decided to try this one partly due to previous reviews and brand's reputation in retinol. Since my skin has been tolerant towards retinol, I immediately try the this retinal 10. In term of texture, it's rather thicker than other retinal product. I use this at night along with collagen booster from the inkey list and glow recipe watermelon mask. Strangely, when I apply Herbivore facial oil, it renders remnants or when I use Home medics eye revive to apply my eye cream, it also leave residue of the retinol which I'm pretty sure hasn't been obsorbed yet even though I had wait for 10 minutes after dabbing retinol to layer other products. Still, I find my skin slightly becomes smoother, particularly the forehead wrinkles, though I'm 30 and hasn't had any issues with wrinkles besides my forehead as a result of my habitual frown

Game changer
Wow! From the first night I used this, I noticed a difference in the clarity and texture of my skin. No irritation or redness and could go straight to using it every night, possibly because I regularly use retinol.

Best affordable quality retinol with great results!
I absolutely LOVE THIS Retinal. I’ve used skin medica prescribed by dermatologists for years (And it comes with a huge price tag) The results from this retinal Equal that and with no irritation at half the price! And with the discount code, even better, love it and would highly recommend not wasting your money on any other retinal products and go straight into using this range! Lasted 3 months so worth the money. Great fast absorbing texture! Can’t live without it!
