Making skin care simple, Medik8 takes the fuss out of caring for your complexion. Powered by three key ingredients: vitamin C, vitamin A and non-negotiable SPF, the brand's signature skin care saviours are famed for their potent potions... just like the Crystal Retinal 3 Serum (30ml), an overnight treatment that works to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, as well as blemish-causing bacteria.
With 0.03% encapsulated retinaldehyde, AKA retinal, the Crystal Retinal 3 Serum (30ml) is your new hard-working hero serum, plumping, softening and firming the look of skin.
A cream-like serum that effortlessly melts into skin, this is your new nighttime treat. Providing the same results as retinol but up to 11 times faster, retinal works to boost the appearance of collagen-rich skin, revealing bouncy and dewy results. Encased in a crystal structure that can be broken down by the skin's natural enzymes, retinal is easily absorbed, allowing the slow release of vitamin A while you sleep. Add hyaluronic acid, vitamin E and glycerin into the prodigious blend, and you have a serum that deeply hydrates, for a healthy-looking, supple complexion.

First time using a retinol
I have only started using this products recently and have been careful with how often l apply it but l have to say that l look forward to use it as it has a wonderful smell and is extremely easy to apply. I do not know how long it will take to see a difference but l will definitely keep using it longterm

Amazing retinol!!!
I've been searching for a retinol serum for a while and haven’t loved the consistency of the ones l tried so far, this one is simply the best! I discovered it through the goody bag and l'm hooked. Saw differences in my skin from the first couple of uses and will definitely continue using it and will repurchase!

Best retinal out there!
I’ve tried many retinols and retinals, and have had some awful reactions to some. But, the medik8 crystal retinal has changed my skin, without the irritation! It has reduced texture, clogged pores, and breakouts! My skin just looks so much healthier since I started using this product!

Life changing for my skincare routine. Keeps acne at bay without drying my sensitive, red skin.

Great starting point
I was scared that this product would be too strong as a starting point but not at all. This never irritates my skin and I can tell my skin looks a lot better and more even than it notmally does. I don't apply it all the way up to my eyes but even if I accidentally get close it never irritates them. Also, the texture is so so nice. Definately worth the price.

Love it.
It’s the first retinal product that I’ve liked the smell of. I use it 7 nights a week unless I’m using a mask break or something. Never have I felt it hard on my face. It gives me a smell like aniseed or something initially which is nice and then goes away. Feels like a cream vs a serum but soaks in well.

Would by it over and over again
The texture is very pleasant, spreads perfectly over the face. It smells like vanilla and tonka, which is delicious (it contains vanilla and tonka extract). I normally have very sensitive skin, but don't have any problems with the ingredients or the strength of the retinal. You don't need much, it will last for a long time. It is a elegant formulation and a pleasure to use. I love the results, my skin looks much smoother and younger after a few weeks of using it.

Amazing Retinol for beginner !
I'm a huge fan of Sunday Riley retinol serum and used 3 bottles of them but they're bit pricey and I want some changes so I decided to move to Medik 8 and really happy with the result !I started with crystal 3 because I haven't used retinol from Medik8 before so must be careful but it works so well, same dramatic result as Sunday Riley but better smell 😂 and even better in some ways because my skin is less dry.Highly recommend to use along with Medik 8 advanced night cream cus they work amazingly together !
