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%).

Brilliant
This is a third repeat purchase for me now, medik8 are so high quality and always deliver. This causes no irritation whatsoever even though it’s fairly high strength. Really notice a difference in the clarity of my skin and fine lines around my eyes. When I don’t use it / run out I always see my skin become more congested. I went straight into using the no. 6 and skipped the no.3 as it is that effective and gentle.

Great product
I’d been using retinal products prior to this so decided to jump in with the 6 and skip the 3. I love the way my skin feels and how fresh it looks in the morning. Great product that gave me no irritation. Love this range x

Amazing!
This is not the first my serum with retinol, but it's amazing one! I like it very much. My skin is dry and sensetive one, I use it 4 times a week, and it works just fine :) But I used the Medik8 retinol stage - started from 0.30% retinol serum (3TR + intense) and now I have this serum. So you also definetely should try this one also, I like it))

Good value
Great value. First time trying Medik8's retinol (switching from Murad 0.3%) . So far I haven't had a reaction. The smell is not unpleasant though isn't a feat for the senses but that's why you're buying it. Will definitely move up to the 'Retinal 10'. Also loving their Hydra B5 serum.

no problems
I went from a 1 to a 6 (48 with often dehydrated skin, prone to break outs and dryness. Few wrinkles and under eyes are my problem area.) I didnt have any issues. Use it 3 to 5 times a week and my skin looks radiant actually! The 1 was too md and the jump to a 6 is great for me. Will repurchase

Really good treatment
Been using Medik8 for years especially with the white click balance which cleared up my pigmentation. It was recommended by my dermatologist. I wanted to get something a little stronger so I opted to use the crystal Retinal 6 since I also was introduced to Retinal at a lower rate. I checked Medik8 website to get more info on which Vitamin A product to switched over from. This was actually good. For the size, I used every night from the beginning as my skin is tolerable and I bought beginning of March. I still have some left and its almost 4 months. My skin is clearing up and I used this alongside the Super C30-Intense (AM). In the morning my skin is smoothed and I can see the clearing up of dark marks. I have dark complexion and suffer from hyperpigmentation.
