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
This really does what it says on the Tin. I used this as advised gradually into my skincare routine. The results are amazing. Fine lines look softer and pores visibly reduced. I didn't have any breakouts or sensitivity. I will go for number 4 next time.

Wow
I have tried so many products over the years, but medik8 crystal retinals are just the best for my acne prone skin. I can use crystal retinal 3 everyday and have no irritation or dryness. Retinal works way better than usual retinol, witch usually just irritated my skin and gave no significant results. Retinal well for everything, acne, post acne, wrinkles, sun damage ect.

Toxic stuff
Scanned the barcode of this product using Yuka skincare app. App said it contains a toxic chemical called BHT; A chemical often coupled with retinol products. Can't even get my money back as I've used it once. A 2002 International Journal of Toxicology report linked short-term repeated exposure of BHT to toxic effects in the liver; when applied to skin, BHT has been associated with toxicity in lung tissue & thyroid. Such a shame it's effective but terrible for human health.
