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 product
Still using mine 6 months on! Wean yourself onto this. I didn’t read the label and had redness for the forst week as you aren’t supposed to apply every night at the start.

love this retinal
One of the things I appreciate about this serum is its lightweight texture, which absorbs quickly into the skin and doesn't leave any sticky or greasy residue behind. It also has a subtle but pleasant scent that doesn't overpower other skincare products.

Great for sensitive skin
I was apprehensive to try retinol as I dabbled with it a year or so ago and it reacted badly. I didn’t know whether to get retinal 1 or 3 due to my sensitive skin. However, I’ve phased this in and it’s been absolutely fine. Smells lush too!

Great product
I’ve used retinol in the passes and always reacted badly to it, knowing it takes a while to adjust, 2 months of red, patchy was just too much. I read about retinal and how skin improves at a faster rate, without the reaction…well I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and I’m pleased to say I’m not reacting like I have been prevented.

It really works!
Received this serum in one of last year’s advent calendars and purchased it again from LF. You only need a small amount and with a pump applicator it’s easy to adjust the amount you need. The smell is divine but what really matters is that the serum really works! Just after couple of days of use my skin was smoother and brighter, fine wrinkles disappeared, the others were considerably reduced. Can’t live without it now!
