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%).

I would give the product 10 stars!
This serum really does magic! I woke up with the smoothest skin ever and it looked as though I applied some filters on it! I have used so many pricey products that did absolutely nothing to my skin and I am so happy I finally came across this one.

Gentle but effective
Brilliant retinol treatment for the money. Gentle on skin and doesn’t have much scent. Using as per instructions with some improvement in fine lines in just a few weeks.

Use it with a night cream
I recently bought a range of Medik8 products and they are all amazing. I will see better results from retinal in a few months, however it did not irritate my skin and felt fine.
