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... just like the Crystal Retinal 3 Serum (30ml), an overnight treatment that works to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, as well as blemish-causing bacteria.
With 0.03% encapsulated retinaldehyde, AKA retinal, the Crystal Retinal 3 Serum (30ml) is your new hard-working hero serum, plumping, softening and firming the look of skin.
A cream-like serum that effortlessly melts into skin, this is your new nighttime treat. Providing the same results as retinol but up to 11 times faster, retinal works to boost the appearance of collagen-rich skin, revealing bouncy and dewy results. Encased in a crystal structure that can be broken down by the skin's natural enzymes, retinal is easily absorbed, allowing the slow release of vitamin A while you sleep. Add hyaluronic acid, vitamin E and glycerin into the prodigious blend, and you have a serum that deeply hydrates, for a healthy-looking, supple complexion.

Good starter retinol
Medik 8 produce some nice products to introduce you to retinol. I have several other products from the brand and they all perform well.

It works but not dramatically
I have oily, slightly textured skin and medium sized pores. Also a black women prone to hyper pigmentation. I gave this a gift because I want to get closer to ‘glass skin’ and it has been working to even my skin out very gently but not a massive difference yet. I think I may need the stronger version and my skin is pretty resistant to a lot of things. A good and a bad thing

Great retinal
Was introduced to this via the last good bag. It’s a really great retinal. I’ve used retinal on and off for years as it’s helped my skin recover well from acne damage. It feels light and gentle, and makes your skin feel so smooth. No redness, itchiness or peeling bits at all. It says follow with moisturiser but if you’re watching your purse strings over the next wee while, you don’t have to as it’s very moisturising on its own. I’ve been using it every other night and it’s lasted a month so far, and I’d say there’s another month in it still so I can justify the expense and now add it to my routine.

Gentle
I was worried about using retinal but this was nice and gentle and didn’t irritate my skin at all

Like it
I received this in the names to know goodbag. I like it, it doesn’t cause any reaction on me and my skin feels smooth in the morning. Can’t comment on long term effects just yet. Make sure you gradually incorporate it to avoid reactions, as per the instructions.

Ridiculous Reaction
I used this product once last week. The reaction started with some itching which went on to dryness and I’ve woken up today with a swollen face. Nothing in my diet/ skincare/ circumstances has changed with the exception of the introduction of this serum! I’m struggling to get the inflammation to calm down. Really wish I hadn’t purchased this product.

Fabulous product
This sinks in beautifully into the skin and leaves skin plump. Haven’t not used long enough to comment on the long term effect, but skin definitely likes this and noticed a brightening effect after using.

Great product
This is one of my favorite facials! I really liked the Medik8 face cream Crystal Retinal 3. with regular use evens out the tone of the face, reduces wrinkles, unfortunately I did not see the effect on very deep wrinkles, but it may be necessary to apply longer or more concentration of the product. good product, I recommend to try

Great retinol
I love this serum so much. It's super gentle and I haven't experienced any reactions. I'm yet to see a difference to my fine lines (I know that can take up to six months of consistent use) but it's really helped calm my acne breakouts and has improved my scar healing.
