Discover a younger-looking complexion with Crystal Retinal 3.
Featuring retinaldehyde (retinal), a next-generation form of vitamin A which is not to be mistaken for the classic form of vitamin A, retinol. In numerous studies, retinal has been demonstrated to be more effective and 11x faster-working than retinol, without any additional irritation.[1,2,3] The hydrating overnight serum-cream visibly addresses signs of aging; improving the appearance of wrinkles, texture and tone.
Potency and optimum power is ensured through a double-layered stabilization system, which includes a crystal encapsulation that releases vitamin A gradually throughout the night, to pprotect the skin from becoming overwhelmed at any point. Hyaluronic acid and glycerin also feature to moisturize and hydrate skin, minimizing any dryness. The complexion is left visibly smooth and supple. Crystal Retinal is available in a series of progressive strengths. Crystal Retinal 3 (0.03% retinal) is where most users begin. Medik8 recommend a simple, effective skincare strategy of using vitamin C and sunscreen in the morning and vitamin A at night.
This strategy is called: CSA.

Love this line
Had someone recommend this to me and I started on the line, I love this brand it helped clear my face and helps keeps my hormonal acne under control in my period. It won’t completely eliminate my period acne but it reduces it significantly so I am not tempted to pick at it. Consistency is key with any product. Defs recommend this one.
Report this reviewAmazing
I started using this about 3 weeks ago and already noticed great results! My skin is so much brighter and smoother. Highly recommend!
Report this reviewVery Gentle
Phenomenal, gentle retinol. No drying or peeling. Leaves skin feeling quite smooth.
Report this reviewLoving it
I was using Differin to control my acne and while it was working well my face was extremely dry and peeling even after using it for a year. I used the Ask the Esthetician option through Dermstore and she recommended trying this retinal instead. I've been using it for a month now and my skin has never looked better! I did go through about a week of purging but since then my skin has been smooth and glowy. I'm ramping up my use pretty slowly to ensure it doesn't cause excess dryness, but I haven't had any issues so far! The formula is so creamy I find myself looking forward to using it. If you're looking for a new retinoid I would definitely give this one a try!

I've used a number of retinols before, but this was my first tome with retinal and I love it! I use it every other night and it keeps my skin smooth with no irritation. Great for the price Will repurchase.
Report this reviewGreat for Sensitive Skin
My skin is rather sensitive with active ingredients so I’m very careful with retinol products and found that this retinal serum is gentle yet effective. It works for me as an every-other-day serum but I can tell it is gentle enough to use nightly as well. It has helped reduce fine lines and soft wrinkles and makes my skin glow. I’ve been using this serum for a while and I’m very happy with the results.
Report this reviewFavorite product!
This is the second tube I’ve bought and I love it everyone! I e noticed such a difference so far. After this tube I’ll switch to the #6. Good for beginners/sensitive skin
Report this reviewRetinal
I tried this only twice. The result will be visible after 1 month of using. This helps to reduce acne
Report this reviewThe best!
This is the best retinal/retinol product I’ve ever used! My skin looks better than it has in a long time. My forehead lines have been fading drastically! 10/10
Report this reviewThe Best!!
This is the first retinol I’ve tried that hasn’t irritated my skin and I’ve noticed positive changes. I usually use a retinol alternative because I have dry/sensitive skin, but decided to try the lower strength crystal 3 because I heard a lot of great things. I use this twice and week at night and I always use the “hydration sandwich” method when applying so that my skin is always hydrated and doesn’t get too irritated on the nights I use retinol. Because my skin seems to tolerate this product well, I’m think of moving up to the crystal 6 after I finish this tube!
