Medik8 Crystal Retinal 1 Serum 30ml
With their tried-and-tested CSA philosophy a hard-working marriage between vitamin C with sunscreen by day, and vitamin A by night Medik8 seeks to create simple routines that result in healthy, beautiful skin for life. Aimed at mature skin to maintain a more youthful complexion, the goal is to uncloak the mystery surrounding anti-ageing skin care with results-driven products that dont compromise on ethics. Big fans of vitamin A and retinol, Medik8 introduced the Crystal Retinal 1 a next-generation age-defying formula that works like retinol, but on a clinical-grade level up to 11 times faster. Made with stabilised retinal a supercharged derivative of vitamin A the Crystal Retinal 1 is an overnight treatment that works hard to prolong youthful-looking skin and reduce blemish-causing bacteria.
With 0.01% Encapsulated Retinaldehyde, also referred to as retinal, the Crystal Retinal 1 is your new hard-working hero serum. Not only does it help to minimise the look of fine lines and wrinkles, it plumps, softens, resurfaces and firms, too. Add hyaluronic acid, vitamin E and glycerin into the prodigious blend, and you have a serum that hydrates skin at every level resulting in a supple complexion without aggravating the skin.
A cream-like serum that effortlessly melts into skin, the Crystal Retinal 1 is your new nighttime treat. Providing the same results as retinol but up to 11 times faster, retinal works to boost the production of collagen and elastin for resurfaced and renewed skin. Retinal also triggers cell regeneration, ready for overnight rejuvenation that results in visibly improved skin texture. Encased in a crystal structure that can be broken down by the skins natural enzymes, retinal is easily absorbed, allowing the slow release of vitamin A for minimal irritation as you sleep. Combine this with the hydrating and soothing properties of cult ingredients hyaluronic acid and vitamin E, and youve got a serum that feels just as good as it makes you look. Dont forget the antibacterial properties of retinal too, that directly and powerfully attack acne-causing bacteria for a healthy, clear complexion. Mighty, yet mild, the Crystal Retinal 1 is suitable for sensitive skin or vitamin A newbies who want low strength with power.
After cleansing in the evening, massage a small amount of Crystal Retinal across the face, neck and daccolletage. Allow to absorb before applying your moisturiser. Crystal Retinal application should be phased in gradually, and only use in the evening. Use twice a week for the first 2 weeks, every other night for the next 2 weeks, then every night. Always wear sunscreen the following morning while using this product, and for 1 week after. Consult a doctor if breastfeeding or pregnant.

So worth it
I have never been able to tolerate retinol (in the past it triggered breakouts, red patches) and I am amazed at how lovely, plump and healthy this makes my skin feel. Follow the instructions for usage and you will see the difference in the first few weeks. It has a beautiful texture (creamy but light and absorbs fast) and very subtle scent. This is really one of the best products I have ever tried and I cannot wait to move onto Retinal 3! For reference my skin is normal-dry and sometimes sensitised and my staples are BR Vip 02 cleanser, Dr. Dennis Gross peel pads and LED mask, Medik8 vitamin C tetra (and now this!), La Mer soft cream, Valmont prime pack and Skinceuticals SPF.Â
