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%).

Great
I love this product. I purchase retinal 3 as it’s the first time I have used retinal before. I have had no irritation so that’s great. I have not been using long enough to see massive results yet,but I have definitely seen an improvement in my skin tone and my face feels a lot smoother.

Good!
I like this, it's really gentle so I think if I get this one again I'd get a higher strength one. The only thing I don't like is the packaging. I imagine that I'll have to cut into it at some point to get the last of the product out.

real results - must have!
I love this product, and I have noticed real visible results. I have tried other retionol products that I haven't enjoyed or they have been too harsh. The medik8 guide is really useful, this is the second stage, I started on this due to using retinol before, but if you're new to retinol you may need one level down. The guide is really helpful and informative and you work through the stages, as your skin becomes used to it/age. I will not be changing product.

The best
Next step up from the crystal retinol 1. This has a stronger strength so feels like it is a lot more effective and not harsh on the skin

The best!
This is by far the best retinal product I have used. I noticed a real difference to my skin after using it religiously for around 3 months and use it every evening, after building this up over time. I can honestly say it’s a god send - my pores have minimised and my overall complexion appears more even/smooth and very radiant. I would never not use the product - it’s worth every penny.
