Ingredients
Medik8’s Crystal Retinal 3 is an advanced overnight serum formulated with 0.03% encapsulated retinaldehyde, a potent vitamin A derivative that converts to retinoic acid in just one step, delivering results up to 11 times faster than traditional retinol. Encapsulated in a crystal structure for maximum stability and gradual release, it promotes collagen production and cellular renewal while minimizing irritation. Enriched with hydrating hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and antioxidant vitamin E, it nourishes and protects the skin, targeting fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, and uneven texture. Unique antibacterial properties help reduce blemish-causing bacteria, leaving the complexion clearer, firmer, plumper, and visibly more youthful and radiant within four weeks.

Important notes on Retinol
Made from vitamin A, retinol boosts the collagen your body makes, reducing fine lines and wrinkles and improving skin tone and colour. Using a retinol-based product may make the top layer of your skin sensitive, so it's best to apply it at night and wear moisturizer and sunscreen the next morning. It's best to ask your Skin Therapist if using a product with retinol is best for you. Please do not use products with retinol if you are pregnant or lactating.
After cleansing in the evening, massage a small amount of Crystal Retinal across the face, neck and décolletage. 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 2 weeks, every other night for the next 2 weeks, then every night. Always wear sunscreen the following morning while using this product, and for 1 week after. Consult a doctor if breastfeeding or pregnant.
