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 1 Serum (30ml), an overnight treatment that works to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, as well as blemish-causing bacteria.
With 0.01% encapsulated retinaldehyde, AKA retinal, the Crystal Retinal 1 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.

Great Retinol for sensitive skin
I have sensitive skin and when irritated can actually make it worse. I bought this from a competitor and loved it. When it came to repurchasing I was thrilled to see that I was able to purchase with a discount.

Nice for sensitive/beginner skin
I love this. It does take a couple of weeks to get used to. I tend to wear it every other night and at first you may find ‘purging’ but once that settles the skin starts to clear up and become more even and smooth. Love this and will deffo move on to 3 when it finishes

so glad i tried it
I’m now on my 4th week of using this and I am really loving how my skin is starting to look. You’ve got to prepare for the initial breakouts with retinal though! But they do pass.

Improved skin texture - looks more plump and youthful. Easy to use and not harsh in any way. Can’t wait for the next level

Awesome
I had bad reaction to other retinol products and was recommended to medik8. The retinal 1 did not irritate my sensitive skin and also made a diff to my fine lines. So glad to have found it.

Sensitive people
I am very sensitive to any retinol or tretinoin and after multiple use I can’t handle the side effects. This is great and gentle. Can be used nightly layered on top of the advanced peptide serum with glowy skin the next day
