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 - 0.1%) 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%).

Toxic stuff
Scanned the barcode of this product using Yuka skincare app. App said it contains a toxic chemical called BHT; A chemical often coupled with retinol products. Can't even get my money back as I've used it once. A 2002 International Journal of Toxicology report linked short-term repeated exposure of BHT to toxic effects in the liver; when applied to skin, BHT has been associated with toxicity in lung tissue & thyroid. Such a shame it's effective but terrible for human health.

This is the best thing I have ever bought. Less wrinkles, smoother skin and my pores are smaller. Great for my rosacea prone cheeks too. Great accompaniment to my moisturiser

The best
Wouldn’t look anywhere else. Started with 1 for a tube and now on my third of 3. Lasts well and for the quality and results of the product I think well priced.

Nice product
Nice product, I have ageing skin (37), large pores and pitted scars, with that comes blocked pores and texture. This retinol has helped clear the skin and smooth the skin. My skin feels better which means I feel better! I have been using it for nearly a month now and I can see it slowly working. I did have a slight (small) break out at the beginning but it went away within days. I use serum and a good moisturiser after. SPF 50 in the am. It’s an expensive product, but it seems to be working so will continue. Excited to try number 6!!

Love this!
Would 100% recommend this retinol. I used to use the ordinary and worked up to the 2%. Had a little break and then purchased this. I started with 2 times a week and now use it around 5 nights a week with a good hyaluronic too. My skin is smoother, more radiant (even after the Xmas excess!) and pores are definitely reduced. My fine lines are exactly that, fine. Feel this helps keep them that way. I often get compliments about my skin and sure it’s in part down to this - my hero product. Next time will move up to the 6%. Can cause a little stinging if you’re new to retinol or take a break for a week or so. But nothing bad - for my skin anyway! Love it.
