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 - 0.1%) 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%).

Transformed my skin

Effective but purges
I have sensitive skin and this product didn't cause redness or sensitivity. However, I am acne-prone and this purged me for 4-5 weeks. Since then though, I am now using daily and seeing a great improvement in skin texture. Skin is much more glowy than before, so I will definitely keep using!

Gentle yet effective
I have sensitive skin and was worried about using retinol however I found this Medik8 Retinol 3 to be gentle enough to use without causing redness/trauma. I’ve been using for the last 8 weeks and looking forward to moving up to the next level.

Medik8 retinal
This is a fab product from a great skincare brand. Use it slowly to build up retinal usage and to reduce any skin barrier inflammation. Will definitely be repurchasing. Lasts for ages!

Absolutely love it
My favourite Medik8 product & retinal by a million miles! I’ve 100% seen in an improvement in my skin since using it. I’ve now ordered the 6 as I feel my skin is used to the 3 now. I built my way up to the 10 previously but I went too quickly and my skin suffered so start low and work your way up slowly! I’ll be sticking to the 6 for a few months this time before I move up to the next strength.
