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%).

Retinal 3 serum
I absolutely love this retinal it’s amazing for your skin, reduces fine lines and once you apply it to your face it feels so soothing. I have noticed the fine lines under my eyes have gone. This product is so soothing in general for your skin and the consistency is so nice. I love this product and I would recommend it.

Perfect for retinol newbies
Now in my late 20s I decided to introduce retinol into my routine. I was cautious as I have quite sensitive skin, so this product allowed me start with a low strength. I already use the Medik8 Hydr8 Intense serum for a daily dose of hyaluronic acid, which is my favourite, so when I saw this formula was also infused with hyaluronic acid, glycerin and vitamin E, I couldn't wait to try it! My skin already looks smoother and more refined, so I will definitely repurchase!

Review: Beginners GEM - Medik8 Retinol 3TR Cream
I've been using the Medik8 Retinol 3TR Cream for a few weeks now, and it has become a staple in my skincare routine. As someone new to retinol, I wanted a product that was beginner-friendly, and this cream has been perfect. The cream's formulation is lightweight and absorbs quickly, making it easy to incorporate into my nighttime routine. I appreciate that it doesn't leave any greasy residue, which is a big plus for my combination skin. What impressed me the most is the time-release technology in Medik8 Retinol 3TR Cream. This feature ensures a gradual release of retinol throughout the night, significantly reducing the risk of irritation. I experienced minimal dryness and no flakiness, which can be common when starting retinol.
