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%).

Try it!
This is a great product. Was looking for a more economical replacement to an expensive one I was using and I am so glad I came across this. It didn’t irritate my skin. Was using a retinol 0.5% before. Will buy again

Best retinoid product IMO
After trying a bunch of retinals, this is my favorite, even though I keep trying to find something more cost effective but haven't been able to. This is so gentle on the skin even though the retinal concentration is high, it feels lovely and silky on the skin, doesn't stain your clothes like I've had happen with a few brands, and a little goes a long way

My go to
I have been using the number 3 for a good while now and got this to move further in terms of dosage. The number 3 has had a good effect on my skin and it does not irritate or dry my skin.

Can’t live without it
I love Crystal Retinal, it was a recommendation from a well known skin freaks/rocks founder. I wanted something gentle on the skin, that does not sting, cause any redness, or tightness and this is it. It’s extremely effective at reducing fine lines, reducing dullness and congestion and makes your skin glowing. I started on 1 and slowly increased to 6, I notice when I do not use this product and it is one of my favourite night time products. Recommend to anyone.

Best product
I saved up for this after using the one below. I’ve noticed a massive difference in my skin. Plumper & less lined. Will definitely buy again

Great
It’s early days using it but so far it’s a lovely product. Leaves eye area feeling softer & hopefully smoothing out lines but a bit early to tell. I have noticed a slight difference after a week

Great so far
I've been using it for a few weeks now and it works very well. My skin is not as dry as it was after using retinol. It's quite pricey though, not sure if worth the price
