Medik8 Crystal Retinal 6 30ml

Reveal visibly firmer, brighter-looking skin with just 1 tube of Crystal Retinal.

Medik8’s bestselling vitamin A night serum is formulated with next-generation retinaldehyde (retinal) which is clinically proven to act 11x faster than retinol* for a visibly brighter, smoother and firmer-looking complexion.

Unlike other retinal serums available, Crystal Retinal features Medik8’s unique patented stability system to ensure maximum retinal potency, while their industry-leading encapsulation technology delivers powerful yet gentle results with minimal irritation, even on sensitive skin types.

Loved and recommended by dermatologists and professionals all over the world, Crystal Retinal features a unique ladder of 5 progressive strengths (0.01%-0.2% retinal) so that you can continue to experience increased visible youth-renewing results. If you’re a vitamin A beginner, Medik8 recommends that most people start on Crystal Retinal 3 (0.03%), or Crystal Retinal 1 if you have very sensitive skin (0.01%). If you’re an experienced vitamin A user, start with Crystal Retinal 6 (0.06%) and gradually work your way up to Crystal Retinal 20 (0.2%). To use Crystal Retinal 20, you must have comfortably finished at least 2 tubes of Crystal Retinal 10 due to it containing a high percentage of retinal.

Working to reduce the appearance of stubborn fine lines and wrinkles and dark spots, Crystal Retinal is the ultimate age-defying serum for a healthier, more youthful-looking complexion.
