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%).

Lovely retinol for ‘beginners’
Half way through this product after starting my retinol after the summer - built up slowly as suggested and after 3 weeks of using it every night I have definitely seen an improvement in my skin. It has given me no irritation and smells lovely too. Wake up each morning with a glow (slightly oily but do have oily skin). Would definitely recommend for anyone starting out on their retinol journey. Will perhaps up dosage on my next purchase.

Great product!
Love the texture, very easy to apply. Doesn't smell bad. Feels like a good quality retinol for an ok price. 1 pump is enough to cover my face and so far, no adverse effects. The only downside is the size of the product, it looks like is not going to last long. I recommend it and probably will buy again despite the price, as I believe its worth investing in a good retinol. Also, I contacted customer service via chat before my purchase and I got a very quick reply and support, well done lookfantastic!

Improvement in skin
This product is great! It’s non-irritating, goes on the skin like butter but does not feel heavy sitting on the skin during absorbing. I can definitely see my skin is much clearer and it has made such a difference to the texture of my skin. My face is extremely smooth now which it never was before. I’ve now purchased the level up but number 3 is a great place to start. Really like this product and would definitely recommend it - it’s worth the money and even better Look Fantastic offer great discount codes which you could get some money off!
