Medik8s mission is simple - beautiful skin for life - which is why they consistently harness new, youth-boosting breakthroughs to keep your skin stronger for longer with three key technologies: vitamin C, sunscreen and vitamin A. High-end formulations at purse-friendly prices, this attainable range means you dont need to choose between pounds and performance: the CSA method (C in the morning, followed by sunscreen then vitamin A in the evening) makes beautiful skin aber easy simplifying your daily regime while fast-tracking your path to a healthy complexion. Whats more, the brand is committed to making sustainable changes from ethical sourcing to minimal waste so your beauty routine is as clean as your conscience.
With four strengths to suit your skins needs (and its tolerance!), Medik8s Crystal Retinal will super-charge your ritual with stable retinaldehyde to stimulate your cells to manufacture precious collagen which bolsters skins resilience and density. Level 3 stars 0.03% encapsulated retinaldehyde and is great for beginners who're dipping their face in the retinol water
Retinoic acid is the form of retinol your skin can utilise (currently only available via prescription because of its potency) however, cells convert retinol (vitamin A) into retinaldehyde then retinoic acid with remarkable results its just that they take a bit longer. Thus, by skipping a step in the conversion process and harnessing encapsulated retinaldehyde a revolutionary new form of vitamin A Medik8 speed up the line-smoothing, brightening, firming and dark spot-diminishing process with tangible changes in four weeks of use. With a unique crystal structure that is readily metabolised by enzymes when applied, Crystal Retinal ensures stability and maximum absorption while mitigating risk of irritation. With the radiance-boosting, clarifying and retexturising benefits of retinol (without the scaly side-effects), this fortifies skin overnight and delivers a visible difference 11 times faster than retinol. The addition of plumping and moisture-retaining hyaluronic acid and glycerin, alongside antioxidant vitamin E makes this perfect for those who are keen to embark on their retinol journey.
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 in the evening. Use twice a week for the first two weeks, every other night for the next two weeks, then every night. Always wear sunscreen the following morning while using this product, and for one week after.

Love!
Recently switched to this retinol as i felt I needed something a bit stronger than what I had been previously using. Really like it after using for a month now. Did not dry my skin out or cause any reactions and definitely do see results. Fine lines have lessened and skin just feels more smooth and regulated.
Report this reviewtop tier
obsessed with trying out new skin care, but this particular retinol is IRREPLACEABLE. cosmetically impeccable, zero irritation, works on fine lines, pores, wrinkles, even helped out with hormonal brake outs- fewer pimples during period and those that do come out dry out really fast. for reference: i have slightly dehydrated oily skin, large pores around cheeks,  prone to rosacea and comedones. im turning 41 and 3 is working wonders. might switch to 6 in a couple of years :)Â
Report this reviewCreamy and gentle
I'm a retinal beginner and started to use this serum after finishing Crystal Retinal 1 and hade no "side effects". I like the creamy texture too.
Report this reviewGentle on the skin
This is a great beginner retinol in my opinion. It's very gentle on the skin but I really enjoy the creamy texture, too. I will be purchasing the Crystal Retinal 10 after I finish my two tubes of this one, since my skin is already pretty accustomed to retinols.Â
Report this reviewLoved it
My first product from medik8 and my skin absolutely loves it. Definitely worth the price.
Report this reviewBest entry retinal product
If you haven‘t tried retinol or retinals yet, because you are worried about side effects, burning or peeling. Don‘t be. Try this one from Medik8! It smells nice and does it‘s job without sideeffects etc. My tube is now empty and I will upgrade to the Crystal Retinal 6 to try it out.Â
