Medik8s mission is simple - beautiful skin for life - which is why they consistently harness new, youth-boosting breakthroughs to keep your skin stronger for longer with three key technologies: vitamin C, sunscreen and vitamin A. High-end formulations at purse-friendly prices, this attainable range means you dont need to choose between pounds and performance: the CSA method (C in the morning, followed by sunscreen then vitamin A in the evening) makes beautiful skin aber easy simplifying your daily regime while fast-tracking your path to a healthy complexion. Whats more, the brand is committed to making sustainable changes from ethical sourcing to minimal waste so your beauty routine is as clean as your conscience.
With four strengths to suit your skins needs (and its tolerance!), Medik8s Crystal Retinal will super-charge your ritual with stable retinaldehyde to stimulate your cells to manufacture precious collagen which bolsters skins resilience and density. Level 10 has 0.10% encapsulated retinaldehyde and is a step up from 6 when your skin has acclimatised great for those who're keen to ramp the year-reversing impact up a gear.
Retinoic acid is the form of retinol your skin can utilise (currently only available via prescription because of its potency) however, cells convert retinol (vitamin A) into retinaldehyde then retinoic acid with remarkable results its just that they take a bit longer. Thus, by skipping a step in the conversion process and harnessing encapsulated retinaldehyde a revolutionary new form of vitamin A Medik8 speed up the line-smoothing, brightening, firming and dark spot-diminishing process with tangible changes in four weeks of use. With a unique crystal structure that is readily metabolised by enzymes when applied, Crystal Retinal ensures stability and maximum absorption while mitigating risk of irritation. With the radiance-boosting, clarifying and retexturising benefits of retinol (without the scaly side-effects), this fortifies skin overnight and delivers a visible difference 11 times faster than retinol. The addition of plumping and moisture-retaining hyaluronic acid and glycerin, alongside antioxidant vitamin E makes this perfect for those who're eager to accelerate their age-reversing journey.
After cleansing in the evening, massage a small amount of Crystal Retinal across the face, neck and daccolletage. Allow to absorb before applying your moisturiser.
Crystal Retinal application should be phased in gradually, and only use in the evening. Use twice a week for the first two weeks, every other night for the next two weeks, then every night. Always wear sunscreen the following morning while using this product, and for one week after.

Medik8 crystal retinal
Excellent product I use strength 10 and a little goes a long way , really see an improvement in my skin, just give it time after all Rome wasn’t built in a dayÂ
Report this reviewFantastic product
I love all Medik8 products but this is one of my favourites. Keeps my skin looking soft, smooth and fresh.
Report this reviewGentle and effective
I started with the retinal 6 as my skin is accustomed to retinol & it was really good. I felt confident moving up a step because the formulations are extremely well made & gentle. My skin is glowing & some fine lines have definitely improved. No downsides to this product.
Report this reviewIt does not irritate...
It does not irritate anything despite the high concentration of retinol, it hydrates and is super pleasant, recommended for sensitive skin, I always repeat. No irrita nada a pesar de la alta concentración de retinol, hidrata y es super agradable, recomendado para pieles sensibles, repito siempre
Report this reviewAmazing product
Really good retinal, I use it every second night and skin instantly looks better and lines are less visible. I really, really love it.
Report this reviewIt’s Amazing
Resurfaces, helps with breakouts and pigmentation. Not too irritating but I’ve built up with the other Retinals in the range.
Report this reviewBest Retinal
I've only been using the Crystal 10 for a couple of weeks, but can already feel and see the difference. Skin feels smoother (not that it was bad before!) and forehead lines are reducing. The first night I was disappointed with the pump, as it didn't seem to be working. However, I read a review on the Medik8 website suggesting to apply a bit of pressure to the tube then pump. It worked! The advice is to apply a moisturiser once the retinol has absorbed - something I hadn't done with my previous Retriderm max 1%, but it works and skin looks great in the morning. Can also recommend the Medik8 Super C30, but as with everything work your way up to the higher strength.
Report this reviewGreat Product
Gently gives glowing skin and anti-aging results without irritation
Report this reviewBad First Impression
I’ve had my eye on the product for a long time. Previously been using Paula’s Choice 1% Retinol and Osmosis MD Retinal Serum and was finally ready to try this and bite the bullet on the duties charges (UK to Canada) - but so far I’m not impressed. The product pump is so faulty and a struggle to even get anything out ( might have to open it up). It’s also heavily fragranced which I was not expecting and goes on almost dry? Doesn’t feel hydrating at all. Really hope this gets better over time given the price I paid as I obviously can’t return it.
