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%).

A favourite and a staple
With my skin being very sensitive my skin doesn't tend to tolerate retinol type products very well but i'm absolutely fine with this. I use it 2-3 times a week generally and don't get the same irritation i've had in the past from using similar products. I don't wake up with my skin feeling dry/tight either and I really like the smell and texture

The best retinal ever!
This is by far the best retinal I have ever used. I have used quite a few retinols but nothing compares to retinal, especially this one from Medik8. The first time trying it a fine line on my forehead had reduced overnight! I love that its available in different strengths so your skin is always improving. 10/10 would definitely recommend to anyone!

Staple in my routine
I've completed the Crystal Retinal 3 and have recently started on the Retinal 6. I use a pea-sized amount after cleansing in the evening, followed by my miosturiser. For even better results, I've been using the Medik8 Vitamin C Serum (6 drops) in the morning before my SPF moisturiser. I'm seeing such a noticeable difference in my skin texture and my complexion is a lot more glowy. My skin is combination/dry, so to have smoother, glowy skin is my goal! I was worried that I'd experience a lot of purging at first, especially going onto the 6, but luckily I haven't (could be because my skin isn't very sensitive). Looking forward to continuing with the 6 and moving onto the 10!

Good stuff
I changed to this from the serum. Think I prefer the serum just as this has a bit of a fake smell!

Best retinol I tried
It’s the second time I’m buyin this. Super gentle on the skin. You have to build up tolerance of course as it is a retinal. So far no complaints love it

Gentle but effective
I love this serum, I definitely see results and love the range of strengths on offer. I've never had a reaction either which is unusual for me. I find this lasts for several months using it every other night and I can cut the package to get every last bit out!
