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%).

Love this
My facialist said I should use a vitamin C cream in the morning and retinol at night. Having tried, and loved, the Medik8 vitamin C day cream, I thought I’d try this to use before my night cream. Wow! My skin seems clearer and smoother when I wake up. Fantastic products! Not cheap but but not eye wateringly expensive either. You get what you pay for!

AaaaaMazing!
I have never used a retinol treatment before so didn't know what to expect. Since using this (on week 2 only) my pores are visibly shrinking, skin is super smooth and there is a noticeable difference in the surface of my skin. I have not had any redness / peeling yet so not sure if this will come from next week when using every night but super happy and highly recommend!

Medik8 Great Vjt A
This retinol product is so easy to use. The instructions are straight forward regarding how to use. Have had no problem with using and will continue to use. I love the way that my skin looks so good and the difference under make up is certainly noticeable.

Obsessed with the results 🥰
I am literally obsessed with this serum, it has so many benefits to your skin without causing any irritation. I purchased it to target fine lines and improve skin texture, but after just few months my skin is glowing as never before. The fine line are almost gone, there are no signs of impurities and the texture is so smooth. Definitely recomend it and cannot wait to level up to Crystal Retinal 6.

Sensitive dry skin prone to eczema flare ups
Fantastic product. It smells beautiful and absorbs into the skin with no issues. Packaging is very convenient and user friendly. Since you only need a tiny amount, this will last a very long time. I have dry sensitive skin and have no issues using this product. My skin texture has noticeably improved and feels smoother.

Gold standard
This serum is one of the closest you will get to prescription tretinoin. I’m a skin therapist and I recommended this to my mum who is 60, to use on a night and the medik8 c15 in the morning with spf and her skin has gotten a lot brighter and smoother. The reinAl is better than traditional retinOl as its less irritating and is more effective.
