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%).

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.

In LOVE
I have purchased this for the third time now and I’ll continue to buy it. It actually lasts much longer than they say and the results are just 🤌🏼! I had started to resemble a pug with deep inset forehead wrinkles and now it’s as smooth as a babies bottom, even my smile lines seem more reduced. You know it’s working when you’re getting compliments! Buy it now

My second tube
Love this stuff! Applies beautifully and sinks in straight away, love the carrot orange colour of the product (don’t worry it won’t make your face orange!). It’s strong stuff though so must pair it with a good rich moisturiser.

Good intermediate retinol
Goes on lovely and sinks right in. I did get a bit of irritation as my skin was getting used to it but nothing a good moisturiser couldn’t fix. If you are after a good intermediate retinol then this is it! I will certainly be buying it again.
