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%).

Amazing
Love this product I saw an improvement in my skin I’m on my 3rd tube. It’s very gentle so if you have sensitive skin it’s great.

Best retinol
I have been using this for a couple of months now and noticed a good difference from the start. My skin is clearer and the texture has been improved, looks overall a lot better. Best retinol I have used so far.

Quite impressed
So this was my first retinal purchase, I started low on stage 3. I've really enjoyed using it! No reaction, my skin feels smoother in the morning! Smells gorgeous too. Bought while on offer as whole range can be expensive!

Gentle but effective
A gentle alternative to retinol/tret - it helps with texture and my skin hasn’t been inflamed once whilst using this.

Absolutely worth the money. I won’t be with Medik8 retinal products now.
I’m such a fan of Medik8, all their products are brilliant. This is no exception. I used this product after trying the less effective retinol products which often stung my face. I started with the Chrystal Retinal 1 and worked my way up. This is way stronger than any retinols and yet was comfortable to use. I’m now up to the retinal 10 in the evening and my face never stings even with using a glycolic exfoliator in the mornings (also Medik8). I can easily have a reaction even to sensitive products so this brand is a revelation! Lovely to use and only a very small amount for brilliant results. Tube lasts well and absolutely worth the money. I won’t be with Medik8 retinal products now.
