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%).

I have been using this for a while now i have just moved to 6 from previously using 3 . My skin feels amazing since i started using medik8 , this has been perfect for my sensitive skin . My skin is glowing ! The only downside is the price but that is why i will only buy from lookfantastic because of the amazing discounts .

This retinal is perfect, I have mildly sensitive skin and this hasn't caused me any irritation. I have used 2 tubes of this now, so will be moving on to the next strength soon. Friends always comment on how smooth my skin looks too.

Like this product
Moved on to this from Retinal 3 and I’m not sure yet if it’s making a difference but I love Medik8 products.

Medik8 retinols are the best!
I've worked my way through their retinols and was recommended this by my facialist as I have combination blemish-prone skin. I don't have any wrinkles so use it for clarifying rather than ageing (although at 35 maybe the lack of wrinkles is because I've been using Medik8 retinol for 8+ years!)

Always quality from Medik8
This is a lovely retinol product to use. I have been using other high end brands but switched to this as I find Medik8 products are consistently good quality. This one didn't disappoint. Effect yet still gentle on the skin. Highly recommended
