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%).

Holy grail product
Effective yet not too harsh for the skin, this is my go-to retinoid. Pricey but worth the money.

Quite drying.
I find this product quite drying. Face doesn’t feel great afterwards. However I continue to buy it as it does work. Keeps wrinkles at bay. I now apply it before an hydrating moisturizer

Best retinol available on standard beauty sites
I have bought this multiple times and it’s great! Use with caution if you haven’t used retinol before. I have since switched to a medical grade one which is nearly triple this price but may go back to this

Love Medik8 products!
Medik8 is my favourite skin care brand! CR6 is a rich cream, has generous smell (someone probably likes no smell, but I really love it) , no irritating from the product at all. The skin eats 2 pumps for 10 seconds, velvet feeling, the skin becomes very smooth! One tube (I use it 4-5 evenings weekly) lasts around 3-4 months. So it is economy! This retinal product really works! Recommend!

Crystal retinal serum
It feels good after application, doesn't dry the skin but haven't use it long enough to see a difference. I guess time will tell but good serum overall
