- WHO IS THIS FOR
- Medik8 Crystal Retinal is our ‘everyone’ vitamin A. It is renowned for its universal hydrating texture and low-irritation potential, while delivering profound, proven age-defying results.
Extremely sensitive skins should start low on Medik8 Crystal Retinal 1 (0.01% retinal), with Crystal Retinal 3 (0.03%) best for sensitive skins or for those nervous about using retinal. Most people can start on Crystal Retinal 6 (0.06%)
- RETINAL VS RETINOL
- RetinOl is two conversion steps away from active retinoid ‘retinoic acid’, whereas retinAl is just one step away. So you get faster, elevated results.
Retinal improves all of the visible signs of ageing 11 times faster than retinol.
Unlike other forms of vitamin A, our Crystal Retinal formula is suitable for even the most sensitive skins.
Retinal is the only form of vitamin A with antibacterial properties, making it perfect for oily or blemish-prone complexions.
- WHY IT’S UNIQUE
- Medik8 Crystal Retinal is a one-of-a-kind innovation within the retinoid category. Not only featuring a patented stability system to offer unparalleled sustained levels of retinal power, Medik8 have taken it one step further and developed a progressive strength ladder from 0.01% to 0.2% retinal. Harness the power of this molecule in a skin-friendly solution to build visible results comfortably over time.
- choose between 0.01% Retinal serum for very sensitive skins, 0.03% Retinal serum for vitamin A beginners, 0.06% Retinal serum for regular vitamin A users

How It Works
- The more stable the molecule, the more effective it can be on the skin. Medik8 Crystal Retinal offers a level of retinal stability that is only found at Medik8: our innovative stability system features our renowned crystal encapsulation and a patented formula complex. The dual-layered stability system comes together to protect the retinal molecule for unmatched potency and long-lasting effectiveness.
- After years of careful development, Medik8 took the incredible yet widely undiscovered powers of retinaldehyde and crafted the finished product that reinvented vitamin A skincare forever: Medik8 Crystal Retinal.
- Stabilised, encapsulated retinal is carefully delivered to the skin within a blend of multi-weight hyaluronic acid, glycerin and vitamin E, to continually infuse the skin with hydration whilst supporting the skin barrier. Our lightweight yet moisturising formula can be used every night of the week (once it has been gradually phased into your routine), as it has been formulated to keep skin comfortable and hydrated whilst reaping the benefits of the powerful retinal molecule.
- Unlike many other forms of vitamin A, including retinol, retinal boasts direct, powerful antibacterial properties, making it the perfect vitamin A molecule for blemish-prone skin.
How To Use
- Use in the evening. First cleanse, then apply 2 pumps of Medik8 Crystal Retinal over face and neck. Allow to absorb then follow with a moisturiser. We recommend Advanced Night Restore, designed to be used after vitamin A.
- For new users of Medik8 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 in the morning while using vitamin A.
- Patch testing prior to use is advised.
- Up to 3 months supply from 1 tube when used daily (after phasing in).
Ingredients
Retinaldehyde
Proven to work up to 11 times faster than retinol[1], retinaldehyde is a revolutionary new form of vitamin A that targets the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and uneven skin texture.
Hyaluronic Acid
With the ability to attract and retain more than 1,000 times its own weight in water, hyaluronic acid draws moisture into the upper layers of the skin, leaving the complexion feeling hydrated
Glycerin
As a natural humectant, glycerin traps water within the skin to leave it hydrated and comfortable.
Vitamin E
An oil-soluble antioxidant, vitamin E can quench free radicals on the skin while stabilising retinaldehyde for optimal power.
