NB:

Crystal Retinal 24 (and Crystal Retinal 20 for that matter) are professional strengths and should only be used by people who have comfortably used at least 1 tube of the previous step on the ladder, as they contain a very high strength of retinal. For the other strengths, we also recommend using at least 1 tube of your current Crystal Retinal strength before moving up to the next strength.

KEY BENEFITS

Retinaldehyde, the active serum in Crystal Retinal, is a new generation of vitamin A proven to deliver results up to 11x faster than retinol. Yes, this is retinAL, faster acting than retinOL, the classic form of vitamin A. Please note: as a precaution, it is not recommended to use retinal during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Our Bakuchiol Peptides are the perfect alternative to vitamin A.

Crystal Retinal Serum, the revolutionary facial serum, is uniquely stabilized to ensure optimum potency. Clinical studies have shown that this serum delivers incredible anti-aging results with just one tube. Expect visibly brighter, firmer, smoother-looking skin when using Crystal Retinal.

Crystal Retinal is also the perfect vitamin A for those looking to target blemishes and congestion due to retinal’s unique antibacterial action on the skin.

Professional treatments

The more stable the molecule, the more effective it can be on the skin. Crystal Retinal offers a level of retinal stability only found at Medik8: our innovative stability system features our renowned crystal encapsulation and a patent-pending formula complex. The dual-layer stability system comes together to protect the retinal molecule for unparalleled potency and long-lasting effectiveness.

From the Experts

“After years of research and experimentation, we cracked the retinal code in 2018 with a unique stabilisation discovery. Our enhanced stability system involves two formulation techniques. Firstly, we protected the powerful but fragile molecule with a crystal encapsulation that works to both coat the retinal and slowly release it onto our skin overnight to minimise any potential irritation. We then reinforced this with a patent-pending stabilisation formula complex, unique to Medik8, to ensure the retinal is stabilised throughout its lifecycle – from raw material all the way to our skin. This means your Crystal Retinal stays potent from the first application to the very last.”
