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%).

Fantastic product
I'd previously only used the stronger version of the inkey list retinol, but had been using that for 3+ years. I noticed the difference with medik8 immediately and it left my skin quite red for an hour or so after applying. I only used it every other day for the first 2 weeks, but I've seen a significant improvement in skin texture and fine lines already. Some hormonal pigmentation has also faded, which is a bonus, because I didn't expect retinol to help with that. I'm tempted to say that this is the most effective skincare product that I've ever used! I'm waiting for Black Friday to stock up and invest in the c tetra too.

It works!
I have used this serum for 2 months now and it definitely works. For the first month, I followed the procedure. For the second month, I use 4 times a week (I pair this with the B5 intense serum). Since I used this serum, my skin looks brighter and the pores look less obvious. It is firmer as well! Even my hubby said that my skin looks smoother! It is pricey but it works!!!!!!!!

Great!
I really like this as a starter retinol. Bit of a scary prospect but my skin has not had any reactions whatsoever and nice and soft in the morning.

Retinal 3
This is my first retinal product and I haven’t used it long enough to notice any changes yet, but I’ve had no irritation with this and it sinks into the skin nice and quick!

I love it!
I love this cream, not only does it have a light texture when applied it also absorbs well into the skin. My skin looks brighter and has no irritation from this serum like previous serum's I have tried.
