Restore the skin’s youthful look with the Medik8 Crystal Retinal 6, a hydrating serum made with 0.10% encapsulated retinaldehyde to help deliver anti-ageing results.
Medik8 Crystal Retinal 10 utilises a potent formula of skin-loving actives that release gradually to avoid irritation. At the heart of the complex is 0.10% encapsulated retinaldehyde, an innovative version of vitamin A that works 11 times faster than retinol to target the look of pigmentation, lines and wrinkles.
The retinaldehyde is enhanced by the addition of vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps protect the skin from free radicals. The serum is infused with hyaluronic acid and glycerine for overnight hydration to help the skin awaken feeling nourished and supple.

- Rich in vitamins, antioxidants and humectants

Good for sensitive skin
This was my first retinol that I have used. I usually have sensitive skin but didn’t have any adverse effects. It sinks in to the skin well and is a lovely creamy consistency. It is slightly coloured and has a medical smell to it which I don’t mind. It had made the pores noticeably smaller on my nose which I was really pleased about. Will be repurchasing.
Best Use: Visible Pores, Anti-Aging

Gentle but effective
This works on my sensitive skin. An obvious reduction in fine lines and uneven skin texture. None of the peeling or redness I have had from other retinol. I started with this one rather than using the lower retinol as I have been using retinol for a number of years.

Excellent Retinal
I have been using Medik8 CR range for a number of years working my way up to CR10. It sits beautifully on my sensitive skin, doesn't trigger my rosacea or eczema. I team this with Press and Glow before use and an oil or moisturiser after in winter. This is the most effective retinol/retinal product I have tried.

Great Retinal Product
I started off with Medik8 6 more than a year ago and I was brand new to using any vitamin A products in my routine. As instructed, I used a couple tubes of that before moving on to 10. I introduced it slowly as advised and had zero issues with it. I love the feel on my skin and how hydrated it feels. I just bought another tube. Definitely a staple in my skincare lineup!

Good as all Medik8 products are
I was on Crystal 6 for a few good months (and many tubes) and had very good, visible results with no irritation whatsoever. I recently decided to upgrade to Crystal 10 and introduced it gradually in my PM routine. Still no sign of irritation on my sensitive skin and results that I'm happy with. However, compared to the lesser strength cream/serum I'm not noticing much of a difference or improvement. This might be due to the fact that I need to use the 10 for longer and possibly increase the number of applications to nightly, rather than 3/4 times per week. I can't say I'm disappointed by this product because it is an excellent and trusted retinal, but I haven't rated it a full 5 stars just because, after the wonderful results achieved with a 6 strength, I had very high expectations for the 10. I'm definitely going to repurchase and I feel I can reccomend the Crystal line wholeheartedly, but perhaps sometimes more isn't always necessarily better.
