Delivering gentle fine line-reducing benefits, the Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3 Serum is an advanced retinaldehyde formula that protects from the noticeable signs of ageing. Powered by 0.03% stabilised retinal, the treatment is suitable for beginners and those with sensitive skin thanks to a blend of nourishing actives and time-release encapsulation technology.
The fast-acting form of vitamin A is known for its skin-smoothing effect and potent renewing properties. Paired with hyaluronic acid, glycerin and vitamin E, the serum diminishes the look of uneven texture, dullness and discolouration to promote the illusion of enhanced elasticity and bounce. Dermatologist recommended, the innovative Crystal Retinal collection features a unique ladder of five progressive strengths (0.01 - 0.2%) to ensure optimal results at every level of your retinaldehyde journey.
- 97% felt their skin had a more youthful appearance*
- 20% reduction in the appearance of wrinkles*
- 20% reduction in visible pigmentation*
- 11% increase in skin firmness*
- 100% felt Crystal Retinal was gentle on their skin*
*Proven via independent clinical study on one tube of Crystal Retinal 6. Tested on 33 participants over 12 weeks.
Step 1: After cleansing in the evening, apply 2 pumps of Crystal Retinal to the face and neck. Allow to absorb then follow with a moisturiser.
Step 2: For new users of Crystal Retinal, phase application in gradually. Use twice a week for the first 2 weeks, every other night for the next 2 weeks, then every night. You should always use a sunscreen the next morning after using vitamin A.
NOTE: Ladder up your visible age-defying results over time with Crystal Retinal's 5 progressive strengths (0.01% - 0.1% retinaldehyde). For those with very sensitive skin, we recommend starting with Crystal Retinal 1 (0.01%). However, most Crystal Retinal and vitamin A beginners start on Crystal Retinal 3 (0.03%). If you're an experienced vitamin A user already, start at Crystal Retinal 6 (0.06%) before working your way up to Crystal Retinal 10 (0.1%).

Medik8
Fits try with a retinol product and really like it. Had no redness or patchiness yet and am using three times a week as in my thirties and following Caroline Hirons advice. Also find the packaging clever - it pumps out just right amount each time, so no waste etc. Would highly recommend. Skin looking fab!

Lovely product
This was my first time using a retinaldehyde and was really impressed! Lovely texture and consistency and no irritation so far.

LOVE this
I love this product. I started with no 1 as I have sensitive skin and new products can trigger perioral dermatitis, and have now moved up to no 3 and my skin has never been as soft and supple. It’s gradually taking down my acne scars and it helps that it smells lovely! I use it about 3 times a week and would never be without it now.

So happy I got this
This is great, I had seen lots of good reviews on this and wanted to try it out myself. I was not disappointed. It’s only been a couple of weeks but I’ve been using this alongside the vitamin c serum and I’m noticing great results already. Fantastic shipping too it came so quickly even during the pandemic

Smells amazing
I'm really impressed with my first Medik8 product. After 4 weeks of use I can see a difference in town and smoother lines I'll be re purchasing

Crystal retinal 3
Such a great product ❤️ I've been using it for a month now and no irritation, no dry skin. Beautiful cream, spreads easily. I can see the difference already.

Fantastic product - will be a repeat buy
I started out using Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3 as an alternative to the retinol product I was then using, after seeing Caroline Hirons included it in her 'Winter Kit'. I'd previously used a 0.5% retinol product but wanted to be cautious in terms of the strength of retinal. I needn't have worried. Medik8 CR3 is very gentle to use - so much so that since I have progressed through the different strengths of Crystal Retinal, I still order this to use in lieu of a night time eye cream! Medik8 products are really well formulated. I've had absolutely no irritation with any of their Vitamin A or Vitamin C products and they're a pleasure to use. Can't recommend highly enough.
