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%).

Fabulous
I have tried many retinols but this has to be the best by far. I have very sensitive skin but this I can apply every night. I follow up with the medik8 serum and my face looks like I’ve had Botox. Amazing value. .. amazing product x

Super effective but so gentle
I struggled to find a vitamin A that didn’t break me out until finding this, and now I won’t be without

So far so good!
I've been using lower strength items for a while now and decided on this one to up the ante. I am being very careful to introduce it slowly nonetheless, and so far I find the texture really nice. I'm not sure I can say it is groundbreaking just yet, but that probably isn't fair, I've been using it just twice a week now for 3 weeks only. So far I like it, no irritation and overall I think my skin is getting better, possibly from a whole decent routine.

Retinal
I use all strengths of medik8 crystal retinals, this one is right in between 3 and 10 and is the perfect spot for me. The 3 and 6 I can use everyday, and alternate them, while using the 10 about one a week, or whenever my skin is having an acne flare up. Works for my acne prone skin amazingly, fades post acne.
