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%).

Not sure
Bought a tiny sample tube of this to try and found it very drying on my skin. Also very expensive compared to others on the market. Would not rebuy.

Retinal serum
I got this as part of the dermatological beauty box and really impressed. After some research this was coming in with great reviews and like how you reduce/add strength. Used for a few days now and lovely consistency and results so far

Sensitive skin
I started with number 3 retinal cream however unfortunately it was too much for my sensitive skin so I’m having to try the medik8 retinol instead. May be able to work up to using this again in the future.

Working well
I have been using this for a few weeks now and so far so good. I can definitely feel my skin is smoother and has a more even tone. I think there has been some reduction in fine lines too. I will be trying the crystal retinal 6 next to see if this has better anti-aging. Would highly recommend this product!

wow!
Used it a couple of times for a few weeks now - looks like it’s working! Just got to be patience but I like this, it’s not too harsh on my skin (3) I do the sandwich effect & it defo helps as I suffer with a few skin problems! Can’t wait to increase in the future! The only con about it is the ridiculous price but I wanted the best!
