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%).

Amazing retinal
This is the best retinal I have tried and have managed to easily move up through the strengths without experiencing any irritation! It’s a really lovely texture goes on nicely and sinks into skin well. It has really helped to tackle my hormonal breakouts and I very rarely get them now.

Best retinal around
Nothing beats Medik8 for me for vitamin A products! I use this every other week and have recently moved up to 6 from 3. My skin feels firmer and brighter from using it. Look forward to moving up to 10 in the coming months!

Made my skin worse
I know this is supposed to be fantastic but I don’t think i noticed any difference it also irritated my eyelids and made them puffy and skin looked worse, (can use around eye area) my eyes were my main issue. Also my skin felt dryer and had more spots and blemishes. I don’t know on this product. I wouldn’t waste the money or recommend.
