Discover a younger-looking complexion with Crystal Retinal 10.
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 10 (0.1% retinal) is recommended only for those who have comfortably used Crystal Retinal 6. 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.

Gentle
This is the only retinal product that I can use because it does not cause irritation. I love it, and will continue to use it.

Love!
I love Medki8 products. The 10 serum is not irritating and doesn’t make my skin peel like some retinols.

Medik8 Crystal Retinal 10 Serum
This is one of my favorite retinal serums to use at night. It layers well with other thinner serums underneath and moisturizers on top. It has a nice creamy texture and doesn't cause irritation and redness the way other retinal serums have in the past. I find this potency to be just right for my delicate skin. I highly recommend this product.

Best Retinal
Over the years I tried many retinol products but they all made me break out. After some research, I learned that retinal was more effective than retinol and I searched for products. I came across the Medik8 line and thought I would give it another try. I started with Medik8 crystal 6 and tolerated it very well- no break outs, no irritation. So I moved up to Crystal 10-still tolerating it very well! My skin has never looked better- smooth, less blotchy, and firmer. This is my forever product. I will never be tempted to buy another retinal.

Sensitive Skin
Great for sensitive skin. Retinal is more effective than retinol. Improves skin texture without irritation. I saw skin improvement within days. Did not irritate my skin or peel.

A perfect retinol alternative
Medik8 is a brand that I trust to deliver great results. I love using the crystal retinol serums. There is no redness or irritation. I can even use this on my sensitive neck. I also use under my eyes. I like the pleasant scent and how quickly it soaks into the skin. With tretinoin I had at least two days of peeling, not with the Medik8!

Excellent serum!
I have been thinking about trying this brand for a long time now and thanks to the VIP sale, I finally got my hands on it. The serum smells great and has really made a difference in my skin. The serum not only helps with diminishing lines and wrinkles, but it also helps prevent acne breakouts. I will definitely repurchase this product to continue to reap the benefits!

Retinal
I have used only one other retinal before this and it was in a serum form. I do have sensitive acne prone skin and it works lovely . I did not start off with other medik8 retinals and found this one non irrating following with a lotion. If you have used a lot of different skincare products but are worried this will be too drying , don't. It works very in-between my retinOl regime which is indeed drying. This retinAl is great ! 2nd time buying before leaving a review.

Excellent Product
Using for not even a full month and I can actually see the difference in my skin. I was even able to go out without makeup. Looking forward to purchasing again.
