Making skin care simple, Medik8 takes the fuss out of caring for your complexion. Powered by three key ingredients: vitamin C, vitamin A and non-negotiable SPF, the brand's signature skin care saviours are famed for their potent potions... just like the Crystal Retinal 3 Serum (30ml), an overnight treatment that works to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, as well as blemish-causing bacteria.
With 0.03% encapsulated retinaldehyde, AKA retinal, the Crystal Retinal 3 Serum (30ml) is your new hard-working hero serum, plumping, softening and firming the look of skin.
A cream-like serum that effortlessly melts into skin, this is your new nighttime treat. Providing the same results as retinol but up to 11 times faster, retinal works to boost the appearance of collagen-rich skin, revealing bouncy and dewy results. Encased in a crystal structure that can be broken down by the skin's natural enzymes, retinal is easily absorbed, allowing the slow release of vitamin A while you sleep. Add hyaluronic acid, vitamin E and glycerin into the prodigious blend, and you have a serum that deeply hydrates, for a healthy-looking, supple complexion.

Transparency lies at the heart of our philosophy which is why we have partnered with tech-platform – Provenance – to cut through the industry ‘noise’ and equip you with key facts that matter. A 'proof point' with a green tick means a third party has verified the accuracy of the statement whereas no green tick means that there isn't independent confirmation (yet!), but that the brand has still supplied substantiating evidence (which you can view yourself).

Brilliant
I’ve now moved on to the Retinal 6 but started with this level. It never irritated my skin or caused redness, and it had a lovely smoothing effect that was noticeable within a few weeks. Love this brand.

Gentle yet powerful – excited to see long-term results!
I was genuinely excited to receive this product after doing a lot of research on retinal and its benefits. From the very first use, I was impressed – the texture is smooth and pleasant, and it didn’t cause any irritation or dryness at all. It feels lovely on the skin and absorbs beautifully. I appreciate how this formula balances potency with approachability – it’s powerful, yet designed to suit beginners like me who are just starting with retinal. I’m really looking forward to seeing the long-term results over the next few weeks!

Pricey but good
I have used this before but don’t repurchase often because it is expensive and doesn’t last that long, however for me it’s a game changer! Evens out my skin tone, gets rid of dark patches and smooths out fine lines.

Excellent cream
I was a bit hesitant to try a retinal cream so went with number 3 and really lovely. Can already see a slight difference and will definitely repurchase

Gentle but mighty
I purchased this after receiving a free sample. Usually my skin reacts badly to retinol but I’ve been using this every second night with no issues. When I wake up I make sure I put on SPF. Overall I’m very impressed, my skin is glowing and feels very smooth. I started on number 3.

Makes a difference
I’ve been using this product consistently now for almost a year & it definitely makes a subtle but noticeable difference. After 1 tube it’s not all that noticeable, 2 tubes a slight difference & by 3 tubes you’ll start to see a subtle but definitely noticeable improvement. It’s not a miracle product & it’s not Botox. You will still have some lines if you already have them but they will be much finer & a lot less obvious. Very pleased I stuck with it!
