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%).

A good starting point for retinol
My skin did not experience any sensitivity to this product. Used every other day and then built up to everyday, before bed. Pleasant scent and left my skin looking glowy and feeling smooth. Always use spf as can increase sun sensitivity.

Glowy!
I have just started retinal and moved straight on to this one, I’ve only just found out I shouldn’t of done that but as it may cause irritation but this really hasn’t, in the small time I’ve been using this I’ve really started noticing a difference
