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 6 contains 0.06% encapsulated retinol and is a step up from 3 when your skin has acclimatised great for those who're used to retinol but want to ramp things up a gear.
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 continue 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 use 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.

Great product
As someone who used also tretinoin this product is very good for a delicate management of the acne. Start with small % if you’re a beginner.
Report this reviewI love it
I love this retinol cream. It’s easy on my skin and I see results just by using it for 1 month.

Report this reviewPlease improve packaging
Who doesn’t love Medik8 Retinal? My only issue is with the packaging. When you think you finished the product as the pump doen’t dispense anymore, actually you still have a lot of product there. I opened mine and filled a full 7 ml small jar. This is such a waste, almost 1/3 product. Please improve Medik8
Report this reviewBest retinoid formula
This is a great retinoid product and also a great strength. The texture is always amazing and non-irritating. This is so effective yet so easy to use. Choose the strength that suit you better but you can never go wrong with the medik8 crystal retinal. Definately will keep using the line. Also, you only need to go up in strength if you feel like you need to. You could totally stay on this one.
Report this reviewThe best retinal

This is my 4th tube. I go through one tube roughly every six months because I use it 3-4 nights per week. I love this product so much. It helps with dark spots, pimples, blackheads and my skin is bright and plump.Â
