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%).

Great product
Lovely product, it goes on well, sinks in and leaves skin lovely and clear. It doesn’t dry your skin out if you ease into using it.

Medik8
This is the first product I have brought, used and woke up in a morning and could feel the difference and see the difference. It has really softened the fine lines I had. I love this product and will definitely be getting it again!

Seems good
I’ve only used once up to now as it needs phasing into skincare routine but I definitely noticed a nice difference the next morning.

Amazing
Bought as a gift for a friend for Christmas. I’m an avid Medik8 user and I’m currently on CR20. This is a great starting point for people wanting to try Retinal. You won’t be disappointed.

Great retinal
Great product which isn’t too harsh on the skin when you first try it. It hasn’t caused my skin to go dry or caused any redness.

So far so good!
Bought this as a gentler retinol than others, as I have very sensitive skin and so far I love it, I only use it every 3 days which seems to work for me

Sensitive skin
It helps blemishes, sometimes if use it a lot, I got dry patches. But I just stop using for couple of days and balance it. They say it is safe using it in summer but I only use it in winter. I wish it would be cheaper though.
