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.

Best retinol at this price point
Such a great product and affordable compared to other retinols out there. I have been using it for a year and it has helped keep my skin clear and soft with minimal new fine lines

The hype is real!!
really happy with how it’s going with this retinal, my first time trying one so went with a lower strength but so worth it and results are pretty fast, no irritation like most actives and just feels like a thicker moisturiser soooo pleasant

Great for sensitive skin
I have only recently started using this product and have noticed that it is very gentle on sensitive and dry skin - doesn’t irritate. Looking forward to seeing results after consistent use.

Lovely retinal
I had progressed from the first Crystal retinal and now to the number 3 and so far, it's been good and no weird breakouts. I was scared to use retinals but Medik8 never fails to deliver high performing skin care. Great product.

First time seriously incorporating retinol
First time seriously incorporating retinol. In my late thirties and I've started two weeks once a week with a moisturizer on top. Then for the next 4 weeks I'm doing twice a week and then will move to thrice a week for another month etc. So far no irritation or issues. Stopped all other actives but occasionally use vit c in the morning before SPF

Gentle retinal
Great, soft formula. No irritation, smoothes in beautifully and absorbs well. Great if you want a gentle vitamin A serum. I tend to use something stronger but bought this now for me, I can use it daily and my skin is definitely improved in texture and appearance.
