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%).

My first try
I decided to try this serum cream after reading a lot about that, I’m sometimes a retina serum, sometimes retinal serum/cream, and do like them both

Break outs
While I am aware that Retionols can make you break out, this especially made me break out and caused scarring on my face, I used this only 2x a week. I spoke with Medik8 after this and they’ve resolved

Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3
I had previously tried number 1 and found it dried my skin out too much. After doing some research it was recommended to layer this product between moisturiser (moisturise, Medik8 & moisturise). I have been slowly introducing this in to my night time routine for the past month and so far so good.

Expensive but worth it
This costs more than other products containing retinol , but as 11x more effective worth it , didn’t have any reactions as my skins is not sensitive. Nice smell and texture and absorbs easily , just start slowly if your not used to retinol.

Bought this for my daughter who was using roaccutane for months. Any scarring after acne can be left. This reduces that significantly. Just what skin needs

Medik8
Yet to see results as I have only just started using this but I purchased from reading the fantastic reviews. I expect big things from this brand. Product smells amazing and although a bit pricey you only need a small amount.

Best for beginners!
The Medik8 Crystal Retinal is a great product for new Retinal beginners. I started straight away with Number 3, having no prior retinol use and found the formula to be gentle enough to use every 2-3 days. Immediately after apply the retinal there’s a slight tingling sensation but nothing too uncomfortable. I would recommend! Skin type: Combination Age: 25
