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.

Great results

This was my first retinol product and I was quite nervous to start using the ingredient. This was a perfect start for me and my sensitive skin and still gave me great results. I think for my next purchase I’ll buy the next strength now that my skin has adjusted.

The only retinol I will ever use

I have very sensitive, fussy perimenopausal skin that has now been “blessed” with acne; not just tiny pimples but big, sore doozies under the skin. Acids just didn’t cut it, and ended up stripping the skin despite using per instructions. Moved to retinols and despite introducing/dosing it gradually to daily use, I either got very irritated skin, or got results but skin looked and felt sensitised. Had almost given up after yet another bout of acne following a break from all actives, when I spotted that Medik8 had introduced a level 1 for sensitive skins/total newbs to retinol. Used 3 times a week for the first week with no irritation, then took the plunge to daily use as the preparation is so gentle but effective. 2 weeks into treatment and there has been no irritation, other than the expected purge with retinols. Skin is smoother, glowing, acne has lessened significantly, and pigmentation has started to fade. You can go up to the next level after completing this, but I will likely stick to 1 as it takes a gentler approach. I use this with the clarity peptides in the evening and this combination works well for me.

Best Use: Breakouts & Acne, Treat Pigmentation / Dark Spots, Uneven Skin Texture, Anti-Aging

So far so good

This is my first Retinal after lot of research. I'm following the instructions so I've only used it a few times so I haven't yet seen the full results but so far I'm happy with my choice. My skin can be sensitive especially around the eye area, so I was cautious but I've had no irritation. It's lightweight and spreads easily on the skin, it absorbs quickly and doesn't leave any greasy residue.

Best Use: Minimise Fine Lines & Wrinkles, Firming, Anti-Aging

The gold standard in Retinol!

This was my first venture into using retinol. My skin can be a bit fussy at times so I was conscious to start off slowly and build up. I use this a couple of times a week. I apply on dry skin after double cleansing in the evening and leave at least 20 minutes before applying the rest of my skincare so it has chance to sink in. It smells lovely and I have had no irritation from it at all. Over time, I have noticed better texture of my skin. Next I will be moving up to CR no. 3!

Best Use: Minimise Fine Lines & Wrinkles, Uneven Skin Texture

Not very dramatic results

Great introductory retinal, I have very sesitive skin and this is the only thing I've been able to consistently tolerate. Hasn't caused any soreness or dryness that I've noticed. I wouldn't say I've seen any dramatic results butr a great start to get my skin used to retinals.

Best Use: Reduce Dullness, Minimise Fine Lines & Wrinkles, Firming, Anti-Aging
