Find Your Crystal Retinal Strength

Medik8 Crystal Retinal is available in six progressive strengths, allowing your vitamin A routine to advance as your skin builds experience. Start with Crystal Retinal 1 for sensitive skin or Crystal Retinal 3 if you are a retinal beginner. Regular vitamin A users can progress to Crystal Retinal 6, followed by Crystal Retinal 10 for advanced users, Crystal Retinal 20 for experienced users and Crystal 24 for expert level routines.

Medik8 recommends using at least one full tube at your current strength before moving up to the next level. Introduce Crystal Retinal gradually and always use broad spectrum sun protection the following morning.

Complete your evening routine with Medik8 Advanced Night Restore, specifically designed to be used after vitamin A.

What does Medik8 Crystal Retinal do? Plus

Medik8 Crystal Retinal is a vitamin A night serum designed to visibly smooth fine lines and wrinkles, brighten dark spots, improve uneven texture and support firmer, clearer looking skin. It uses retinaldehyde, a next generation form of vitamin A.

Which Medik8 Crystal Retinal strength should I choose? Plus

Crystal Retinal comes in six progressive strengths. Crystal Retinal 1 is designed for sensitive skin, 3 for beginners, 6 for regular vitamin A users, 10 for advanced users, 20 for experienced users and Crystal 24 for expert users. Choose a strength appropriate for your previous vitamin A experience rather than starting too high.

Is retinal stronger than retinol? Plus

Retinaldehyde works closer to the active form of vitamin A than retinol. Medik8 states that retinal can work up to 11 times faster than standard retinol, making Crystal Retinal a powerful option for targeting visible signs of skin ageing.

How often should I use Medik8 Crystal Retinal? Plus

If you are new to Crystal Retinal, introduce it gradually. Use it twice a week for the first two weeks, every other night for the following two weeks, then progress towards nightly use if your skin is comfortable. Medik8 recommends using at least one full tube before progressing to the next strength.

How do I use Medik8 Crystal Retinal in my evening routine? Plus

After cleansing in the evening, apply two pumps of Crystal Retinal to the face and neck and allow it to absorb. Follow with moisturiser. Medik8 specifically recommends Advanced Night Restore after vitamin A. Always use sunscreen the following morning.
