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%).

Gentle yet effective
Bought the medik8 crystal retinal 6 after using number 3. This is very gentle but effective, I use it every night and have found that a lot of my creases aren't as deep, just bought a second tube before I move on to the higher strength. I have sensitive skin so I do layer this with a ceramide rich moisturiser after waiting for it to absorb but haven't experienced any irritation. The only negative is that when you're getting to the end of the tube its difficult to squeeze every little drop out and with it being on the pricier side, I'm not willing to throw it away without opening the tube and getting it all out!!

Love it
I’ve moved on to this after using no. 3 and wow, loving it. I’m currently using it 3 times a week, putting layer of hyaluronic serum on before as a slight barrier, so far no sensitivity with it (I do have sensitive skin). My skin is looking glowy and smooth. I look forward to continued use to see how my skin improves.

Good one!!
My first time using medik8 and I need to confess this retinal is a must!! I went straight for 6 and no reaction at all!! If I knew it I would go straight for 10!! Anyways…. Too early if does the job, cause it takes at least 1month!! But so far so good!!

Effective retinol
Every nighttime regime needs a retinol and I’ve tried a few. So far this one has been pleasant to use and not caused any reaction, even on my neck, which can be sensitive. I like the fact that you can go up in strength as you become acclimatised.
