Vitamin A taken to new age-defying heights. Crystal Retinal™ is a cult advanced anti-ageing serum crafted with stabilised retinaldehyde (retinal), a next-generation form of vitamin A. Not to be confused with classic form """"retinol"""", retinaldehyde has been desmonstrated in multiple scientific studies to harness improved efficacy compared to retinol, but without any added irritation.
Delivering results comparable to clinical-grade vitamin A, retinal is proven to work up to 11 times faster than retinol. Stabilised using patented crystal encapsulation and a patent pending carrot seed complex, this results-focussed overnight serum visibly minimises fine lines and wrinkles; helping to resurface skin texture and create an overall youthful complexion. The vitamin A is released gradually into the skin throughout the night, for minimal irritation.
Featuring hyaluronic acid and glycerin to draw moisture to every level of the skin, infusing skin with hydration and leaving it visibly supple.
Not only designed to target signs of ageing, Crystal Retinal helps to reduce blemish-causing bacteria, visibly improving skin clarity.
Medik8 offer progressive concentrations of Crystal Retinal products which form the Medik8 Crystal Retinal Ladder. Crystal Retinal 1, containing 0.01% retinaldehyde, is recommended as a starting point for those with more sensitive skin before moving to Crystal Retinal 3.
Medik8 recommend a simple, highly effective anti-ageing strategy of using vitamin C and sunscreen in the morning and vitamin A at night. This strategy is called: CSA.

Best retinol
This is my favourite retinol of all time, I have quite sensitive skin, so finding one that works yet doesn’t irritate my skin is quite a task, so I really appreciate the phases approach of the slightly stronger serums every other bottle or so, I limit my use to twice a week so that my skin doesn’t get too dry and find this works best for me and also mean one tube lasts a long time
Best Use: Reduce Dullness, Minimise Fine Lines & Wrinkles, Uneven Skin Texture, Anti-Aging

Retinol Serum
I'm really surprised by the ratings on this product. I used it for about a month and noticed little to no difference in the quality of my skin. Perhaps I'm using it wrong and would consider trying a higher strength but as I'm new to using retinol I started with the lower based ones. Shame as I'm a fan of the brand but not this product.

Amazing
I have really really sensitive skin and have tried retinol previously but couldn’t get past the irritation caused. Slowly integrated this in to my routine and it has had little to no irritation. It has drastically improved my skins texture. The more I use it the more it has helped with scarring and overall skin tone
Best Use: Breakouts & Acne, Treat Pigmentation / Dark Spots, Uneven Skin Texture

Excellent
I have tried retinol before and had a bad experience. I have sensitive skin and it increased the sensitivity to scary proportions. So much so I swore I would never try retinol again. My best friend, who has more sensitivity than me persuaded me to try it and I haven't looked back. I started slowly and worked up to using every night. No sensitivity at all. Brilliant.
