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.

So far so good
So far I’m loving this serum, it’s very light and sinks right in. I have pretty sensitive skin and it’s been fine with this product. I can’t speak to any miraculous results as of yet but I have noticed that my skin is very clear and I think I have this serum to thank!

Works great as compliment to other serums
I've used this brand's crystal retinal for the past three years and wanted to try something different from their shop. I feel like this serum has been a pleasure to use on alternate nights with my others. It's pleasant texture and seems to give a smoothness and brightness to my skin.

Amazing results with no irritation
This was my first time trying a retinal and I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience thus far. This product leaves my skin smooth and glowing with no irritation. Unlike tretinoin, I actually enjoy applying this product and can do so nightly!

non irritating retinal serum
It is non irritating and give you a slight matte finish after putting it on. But I did not see much of flakes coming off after using them for a month. I think this product will be good for someone who is new to retinal or Retin-A

Great Retinol for beginners
I follow an online dermatologist who recommended this and this has been a game changer for my skin. On the nights that I put this on the next day my skin wakes up feeling a lot more clear. I love the system it has for building intensity so that I can pace myself, and I believe it’s the most stable one on the market so you get a lot of bang for your buck.

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.

Loving 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!

my new favorite
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.
