Delivering gentle fine line-reducing benefits, the Medik8 Crystal Retinal 6 Serum is an advanced retinaldehyde formula that protects from the noticeable signs of ageing. Powered by 0.06% stabilised retinal that's released via encapsulation technology, the treatment is best suited to experienced users of the active.
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%).

Best product
I saved up for this after using the one below. I’ve noticed a massive difference in my skin. Plumper & less lined. Will definitely buy again

Great
It’s early days using it but so far it’s a lovely product. Leaves eye area feeling softer & hopefully smoothing out lines but a bit early to tell. I have noticed a slight difference after a week

Great so far
I've been using it for a few weeks now and it works very well. My skin is not as dry as it was after using retinol. It's quite pricey though, not sure if worth the price

Unsure if I need a higher strength
Went on the Medik8 website to work out which Retinal strength to use. After doing their quiz, it suggested 6 was the best however, I am not seeing the benefits of it compared to my previous Retinol (Luna Sleeping Oil by Sunday Riley). Will try the next strength up next time

Wow wow wow
I am 33- would describe myself as a skincare enthusiast, I have been diligently into my routines for over a decade and have tried and used a lot of products. I’ve been using the Crystal Retinal 3 for a year, my skin was really dry at first and took a long time to build tolerance to retinols but I was seeing definite improvement with this product, I have just moved on now to Crystal Retinal 6 and am overjoyed with how well it’s working my skin looked amazing after the first use I can’t believe it, excited to see where continued use takes me. I use Sunday Riley Luna sleeping oil then Crystal Retinal then Sunday Riley ICE cream - this combo works amazing for me
