Delivering gentle fine line-reducing benefits, the Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3 Serum is an advanced retinaldehyde formula that protects from the noticeable signs of ageing. Powered by 0.03% stabilised retinal, the treatment is suitable for beginners and those with sensitive skin thanks to a blend of nourishing actives and time-release encapsulation technology.
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 - 0.2%) 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%).

A good introduction to Retinol
At first I used this 2 nights a week and had no irratation. The liquid is nice and goes on smoothly. Doesn't leave any stickiness or greasiness. I think I would need a higher strength to start seeing better results .

This product is a GEM!
This product is a GEM! I immediately saw results. My face was brighter the next day, and the glow was very visible. My dark spots have also lessened with this. Every time I use this product, I notice instant brightness. I try not to use it every day, but, mate, I'm ready for Strength 6. I have had no irritation with this product, which makes me very happy.

Lovely So Far
It gets 5 stars for not causing any skin sensitivity! I've been pleased with this so far and have been using it twice a week for the past few weeks. I layer it with a moisturiser to act as a buffer just in case. The texture is nice and the scent is bearable. I've not noticed a dramatic difference to my skin, though I have been getting compliments recently, but retinol generally takes longer to show results so I'm just being patient. Love Medik8 products so feel like I'm in good hands!

Very strong!
Reeeallly wanted to love this but unfortunately it’s too strong for my skin. Tried all sorts of methods including sandwiching with moisturiser but unfortunately even with use 2x wk it was too strong for me.

Retinal
Great gentle retinal especially if you are just starting to implement into skincare routine. It doesn’t give me sensitive skin but I definitely feel a different from using it. Skin feels healthier and plumper and more glass like.

Wow!!
I have never had a skincare product make this much of a difference in my skin. I could almost see and feel a change overnight. The product is lightweight and absorbs so quickly and has a very faint, non-offensive scent. Make sure you stay consistent with it to see an improvement.
