Delivering gentle fine line-reducing benefits, the Medik8 Crystal Retinal 1 Serum is an advanced retinaldehyde formula that protects from the noticeable signs of ageing. Powered by 0.01% 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 encourage the illusion of enhanced elasticity and bounce. Recommended by dermatologists, 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 hyperpigmentation*
- 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. We recommend Advanced Night Restore which is specifically designed to be used after vitamin A.
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%).

Should’ve gone for 3
After only ever using one retinol before I thought I’d upgrade to retinal. I should’ve gone for the 3 rather than the 1 personally as my skin is not too sensitive. However that being said this product is great. Easily absorbed and I use it every other night. Been using for a couple of weeks and already seeing results. My skin looks way more hydrated and plump

Absolutely fantastic!
Recommended by Caroline Hirons! I'd previously used a liquid retinol from the Ordinary. This consistentcy is more like a cream and goes on beautifully. You only need to wait 1bmin after application and then move on to other products. No irritation. I'll be moving on the to the higher potency (crystal retinal 3) in this range after this is finished. Highly recommend!

Great introduction to retinal
I have very sensitive skin and rosacea which is why I was a bit cautious and did not want to risk trying retinal for a long time. However, this product is great and works even for my sensitive skin, I did not experience any skin irritation. Just make sure you are using a moisturizer after this, to avoid overdrying the skin and start slowly (I started with applying it once a week and then moved to twice a week) incorporating this product in your skincare routine. I have been using it for about two months and the texture of my skin has significantly improved. I am very happy that I decided to try this product.
