Product description
Medik8 Crystal Retinal is an A-vitamin night serum with retinaldehyde that helps renew the appearance of the skin, visually reduce wrinkles, fine lines, pigmentation spots, uneven skin texture, pore congestion and loss of firmness. The Crystal Retinal line is designed as a progressive system of retinaldehyde strengths so the skin can gradually acclimatise to vitamin A and achieve visible results with better tolerability.
Retinaldehyde is the next-generation form of vitamin A that acts faster in the skin than retinol because it requires fewer conversion steps to the active form. The formula helps improve skin smoothness, radiance, elasticity, firmness and overall quality. Medik8's patented stability system helps preserve the efficacy of retinaldehyde until the last use of the product, while hyaluronic acid, vitamin E and glycerin help maintain skin hydration and comfort.
The product is suitable for various skin types and different levels of vitamin A experience, as it is available in several strengths. Lower strengths are suitable for beginners and more sensitive skin, while higher strengths are intended for experienced vitamin A users. The product does not contain artificial fragrances, synthetic colourants, alcohol or parabens. Certified by The Vegan Society.

Effect
Medik8 Crystal Retinal helps renew the appearance of the skin overnight, improving skin smoothness, elasticity, firmness, radiance and overall quality. The serum helps visually reduce wrinkles, fine lines, pigmentation spots, uneven skin tone and rough texture. With regular use, the skin appears smoother, more even, fresher, firmer and more youthful. The product is also suitable for blemish-prone skin, as retinaldehyde helps improve the appearance of pore congestion and skin texture.
Usage
Use in the evening after cleansing the skin. Apply 2 pumps of Medik8 Crystal Retinal to the skin of the face and neck, allow the product to fully absorb and then apply a moisturiser. If vitamin A products are being used for the first time, start with a lower Crystal Retinal strength and introduce the product gradually: for the first 2 weeks use twice a week, for the next 2 weeks every other evening, then, if the skin tolerates it well, use every evening. It is recommended to finish at least one package of the previous strength before moving to the next strength. Use sunscreen during the day. It is recommended to perform a skin tolerance test 24 hours before first use. Do not use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
