Medik8 Crystal Retinal

Crystal Retinal stands apart from conventional retinoids because it uses retinaldehyde — the form of vitamin A closest to retinoic acid in the skin's natural conversion pathway. This means fewer conversion steps, faster visible results and a gentler experience compared to retinol at an equivalent strength. Medik8's patented stabilisation technology (the "Crystal" in Crystal Retinal) keeps this notoriously unstable molecule active right up to the moment of application, so every drop delivers maximum efficacy. Choosing your level is straightforward: Crystal Retinal 3 is the ideal entry point for retinoid beginners or those with sensitive skin; Crystal Retinal 6 suits regular retinol users ready to step up; Crystal Retinal 10 is designed for experienced vitamin A users seeking intensive renewal; and Crystal Retinal 20 — the brand's strongest — is for advanced users chasing transformative, clinic-level results at home. The Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye range mirrors this approach for the eye contour, enriched with ceramides to protect and fortify the skin barrier in this extra-delicate zone. Within Medik8's CSA philosophy, Crystal Retinal takes the "A" position: apply it every evening after cleansing, pair it with a vitamin C serum in the morning and always finish your daytime routine with SPF.
