Making skin care simple, Medik8 takes the fuss out of caring for your complexion. Powered by three key ingredients: vitamin C, vitamin A and non-negotiable SPF, the brand's signature skin care saviours are famed for their potent potions. Meet: Crystal Retinal 20 (30ml). This vitamin A-packed serum is the key to a more radiant looking complexion.
Medik8 has long been considered royalty of the retinal world, and its supercharged Crystal Retinal 20 (30ml) takes the brand's reign to new, skin-smoothing heights...
This silky night serum for retinal regulars contains the strongest concentration of vitamin A to come out of the Crystal collection to date (that's a potent 2.0% retinaldehyde for all the skingredient buffs out there). Expect a complexion that appears smoother, brighter and oh-so-supple. That's not all though: the addition of hyaluronic acid, vitamin E and glycerin provides a soothing and hydrating pick-me-up to ensure that this super serum is gentle to even sensitive skin types.

For the latest information, it is recommended to review the ingredient list printed on the packaging of the product prior to usage or consumption.
Step 1: After cleansing in the evening, apply two pumps of Crystal Retinal to the face and neck. Allow to absorb then follow with a moisturiser. Medik8 recommend Advanced Night Restore (sold separately) which is specifically designed to be used after vitamin A.
Step 2: For new users of Crystal Retinal, phase application in gradually. Use twice a week for the first two weeks, every other night for the next two weeks, then every night. You should always use a sunscreen the next morning after using vitamin A. Medik8 recommend using at least one tube of your current Crystal Retinal strength before moving up the ladder to the next strength.

Great
It is great, but the higher the retinal % the more yellow, please just be aware of this.

Nothing to dislike
I really notice the benefit of the carrot seed all added to this, maybe that explains the orange colour but I’ve found it’s always a soothing ingredient in serums. Doesn’t irritate the skin or cause any issues unlike tretinoin, my second purchase of 20, it’s not overly strong or heavy and doesn’t cause me breakouts. Always worth remembering to wash your hands thoroughly after using it and don’t let pets like your face while you’re wearing it as vitamin A is highly toxic - that can be said about most skincare. That being said, so long as it stays on your face, it’s great!

The best
Truly the best retinol. Love the different levels that let you adjust to your skin. Using the 20 now, and still no reaction, but always make sure to moisturise properly after. Can really tell a difference when I'm using this vs other brands.

BEST RETINOL
I LOVE this retinol so much! It doesn’t irritate or sting, the packing is great and it lasts so long.

Yes, it's strong
Start slow. I love it but I'd love it even more if I could tell it's working. I can't. But it's not it's fault. I can't tell with anything! So jealous of girls who say "my pores shrunk" or "my skin glows" ..

Amazing
Have slowly built up to 20 and love these products, I’m 33 and get so many compliments on my skin since using Medik8. The best retinal we can get in the UK without prescription.

I've moved up to retinal 20. No irritation. Great consistency. I use both the eye and face retinal. Would recommend.
