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%).

So far, so good!
In the first few weeks of using this product my face broke out a bit, but this is now clearing up. It is probably too early to tell whether it will make a difference to my skin, but it is a nice consistency and leaves my skin feeling soft. I’m going to stick with it and will hopefully see some results soon!

Great so far
Have finally moved up in retinol strengths and I was initially scared my skin would react but it still feels the same if I use the weaker one, leaves skin glowy and plump

Excellent Serum
This serum is great, when it goes on it is so smoothing. Gives a great finish, and does what it says on the packet.

Results
I’ve been using this for about a week and I’m sure I can already see a difference in my skin. It looks smoother and brighter and I’ve had no irritation at all. I’m expecting great results with continued use. When I’ve finished this I’ll move onto number 6! I’d like to try more Medik8 products too.

Time will tell
I’ve started using this for a couple of weeks now and it’s made me severely break out. I’m sticking with the products hoping the splurging will end but do prepare that it won’t work immediately and can make skin worse before getting better.

So far so good!
Purchased this retinol based on recommendations and that medik8 is dermatologist recommended. Have only used the product for about 2 weeks (as introducing slowly) and so far so good. Nice consistency and doesn’t burn etc. Will keep going with it :)

Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3 Serum
Really effective serum, my skin looks smoother and skincare and make up goes on better in the morning. I haven’t had any issues with irritation/redness as I have had with other retinol products.
