Delivering gentle fine line-reducing benefits, the Medik8 Crystal Retinal 6 Serum is an advanced retinaldehyde formula that protects from the noticeable signs of ageing. Powered by 0.06% stabilised retinal that's released via encapsulation technology, the treatment is best suited to experienced users of the active.
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 product
I saw an improvement in my skin after I used Cristal Retinal 3 so I got 6. It’s very gentle so if you have sensitive skin it’s great.

It Works!
I have super sensitive skin, even aloe irritates it. I have been wanting to try retinal products for a while. I started with 3 and have worked up to 6 with no issues. My skin looks and feels amazing.

Beautiful product!
Absolutely love this!! Have been using this now for a week and I can already start to see a difference. I do think this is helped by other skincare items I use but it has started to work a lot quicker than I thought! I use this every evening with nothing over the top and in the morning I use the MediK8 B5 intense serum (I use quite a bit to counter the potential drying effect).

Improved facial scars
This has improved my face and I’m going to get a second tube of this, then move onto retinol 10. It’s expensive but worth it, it does give some spots if you use it too quickly but over time it helps skin

Gentle but effective
A gentle alternative to retinol/tret. I’m gradually working my way through the crystal line and am really happy with the results: it eviscerates texture and doesn’t inflame my sensitive skin.

My 50+ skin loves this
Medik8 retinal 6 suits my skin.Use it 3x week as part of routine, get no redness or dryness. Worked slowly from level 1, 3 to 6. Easy to use, skin feels supple, looks even toned. Not Botox so won’t reverse wrinkles but in combination with other products it seems to stop them getting worse.

Amazing
I purchased Medik8 Crystal Retinal 6 as the next step up from Crystal Retinal 3. My skin is looking clearer, smoother and immediately noticed a difference even after the first application. Would highly recommend!

absolutely worth the money. I won’t be with Medik8 retinal products now.
I’m such a fan of Medik8, all their products are brilliant. This is no exception. I used this product after trying the less effective retinol products which often stung my face. I started with the Chrystal Retinal 1 and worked my way up. This is way stronger than any retinols and yet was comfortable to use. I’m now up to the retinal 10 in the evening and my face never stings even with using a glycolic exfoliator in the mornings (also Medik8). I can easily have a reaction even to sensitive products so this brand is a revelation! Lovely to use and only a very small amount for brilliant results. Tube lasts well and absolutely worth the money. I won’t be with Medik8 retinal products now.
