Medik8 Crystal Retinal 10 is a potent vitamin A serum that tackles visible signs of ageing with scientifically proven ingredients. This advanced formula contains 0.1% retinaldehyde, a superior form of vitamin A that works up to 11 times faster than traditional retinol. The unique Crystal Retinal technology stimulates cellular renewal and collagen production, visibly reducing fine lines, wrinkles and pigmentation. The serum suits experienced retinoid users seeking intensive anti-ageing results. The gentle yet effective formula ensures an even skin texture and youthful appearance without extreme irritation. Crystal Retinal 10 is ideal for those wanting to elevate their skincare routine to a higher level and seek visible improvements in skin quality.

At the heart of Crystal Retinal 10 is 0.1% retinaldehyde — a direct precursor to retinoic acid that requires just one conversion step in the skin, making it up to 11× faster-acting than traditional retinol. Encapsulated in cyclodextrin, the active ingredient is stabilised and released evenly, keeping irritation in check. Tocopheryl acetate and squalane shield the skin from oxidative stress, while sodium hyaluronate and sodium polyaspartate maintain optimal hydration. A dual vitamin C duo — tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate and 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid — targets pigmentation and supports collagen synthesis. Cloudberry seed oil and moringa oil further reinforce the skin barrier. The outcome: accelerated cell renewal, visibly reduced fine lines and wrinkles, and a more even complexion — delivered with controlled tolerability for experienced retinoid users.

Apply 2-3 drops in the evening to cleansed skin, before your night moisturiser. Start with every other evening use and gradually build up to nightly application. Avoid the eye area and always use SPF 30 or higher during the day. Begin carefully if you're new to retinoids and pause if irritation occurs.

After 2-4 weeks you'll see an even skin texture and improved radiance. After 6-12 weeks of use, fine lines are visibly reduced and skin texture becomes smoother. Pigmentation and dark spots gradually fade whilst skin looks firmer and more youthful. Overall skin quality improves noticeably with a natural, healthy appearance.
