Crystal Retinal is the latest innovation from the pioneers of modern retinol alternatives. Retinal acts faster and causes less sensitivity than comparable strength retinol.

Crystal Retinal 10 is the strongest consumer retinal produced by Medik8. It's recommended that most people start with Retinal 3, unless your skin is primed with actives such as Retinol. We also provide Crystal Retinal 20, however, you'll need to complete a digital consultation before we can send it out.

Formulated with 0.10% encapsulated retinaldehyde for a hydrated and more youthful-looking complexion. Retinal is a powerful derivative of vitamin A with next-generation anti-ageing results. Unmatched in its age-defying power, retinal can deliver results comparable to clinical-grade vitamin A and up to 11 times faster than classic forms of retinol.

The ground-breaking overnight serum visibly minimises fine lines and wrinkles; firming and plumping the complexion to resurface skin texture and soften the face.

Featuring hyaluronic acid, glycerin and vitamin E, it hydrates skin at every level to deliver a supple, even-toned, more youthful-looking complexion. More than that, it actively helps reduce blemish-causing bacteria to keep skin clear and balanced. In just 4 weeks, skin is noticeably younger, smoother and undeniably radiant.

How to use

After cleansing in the evening, massage a small amount of Crystal Retinal 10 across the face, neck and décolletage. Allow to absorb before applying your moisturiser. 

Crystal Retinal 10 application should be phased in gradually. 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.
