Discover a younger-looking complexion with Crystal Retinal 6.
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 protect 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 6 (0.06% retinal) is recommended for those who have comfortably used Crystal Retinal 3, or those with experience of high strength retinol products. 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.

Best retinal I’ve ever used. Non irritating and makes my skin glow. Forever customer!
Report this reviewNew to Retinol
It took quite a few pumps to get the product to come out. Once it did, it’s an orange cream similar to the texture of my tretinoin cream. I noticed an unpleasant smell but it fades in time. I will need to give this product a few more weeks to see if I notice a difference.

I love this one, have been using the 3 before and now working my way on 6. It's a great retinal that doesn't sting, leave my face feeling hydrating and feeling smooth. Can't wait to try 10 and 20
Report this reviewGreat!!
Really love this product and love how there are different levels to it. Finally worked my way up to this one and am already seeing a difference! Rubs in well, isn’t greasy or anything either.
Report this reviewThe best retinal/retinol!
I just started using this after “graduating” from Medik8 Retinal 3. This is the best retinal/retinol product I’ve ever used! I’ve had zero purging, and I’ve seen results after just a few uses. I’m definitely sticking with this product for a long time!
Report this reviewGood
I am a seasoned retinol user and I found this gentle and non irritating but also barely noticed a change on my already acclimated 40+ skin. The 10 looks like my next bump up since I only maintained what I already had. Definitely try if just starting retinal and are sensitive.
Report this reviewLove this retinol!
I've tried a lot of retinol products and was an avid user of the skinceuticals .3 retinol. That was still too irritating for me and I was worried about bumping up the percentage by switching to this. I have been able to use this everyday with no irritation, and I have very sensitive skin. It's lasted about a month so far for me because I use a small pea size amount. I apply over my serum which helps it spread easier than if it were on dry skin. Overall I'll be buying again.
Report this reviewSmall amount of product
The product is great and non irritating. But if your a regular user it’s gone in a few weeks. Which makes it way too expensive .
