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.

Medik8 Crystal retinal 3
Although I have been using a retinoid for some time and have been pleased with the results, I decided to try the Medik8 retinal 3 on the recommendation of my daughter. I had no need to phase it in (as an experienced user). My skin tolerates it really well, looks clear and smooth. I aim to move up to retinal 6 when I finish this product. It seems like a kind and gradual way of moving to higher strengths and hopefully improved results.

Absorbs quickly
I want to love this and it has all the makings of a great product but I just can’t seem to get past the Retinol nasties! The product itself seamlessly absorbs into the skin, I wake up with the softest skin but I think it’s just too high a % for me. Im going to drop down a % again to see if I get a better result.

Amazing serum
As a first-time user of retinol, I wasn't sure whether to go straight in for the Medik8 6 or the Medik8 3 serum, as I've used acids for a good few years now so was tempted to go straight in as my skin is used to harsher products and doesn't tend to react. I chose to go for this one to 'dip my toes in' after reading the reviews, and I'm so glad I did. I'm currently using it every other day at the moment (it does say I can go to every day in a couple of weeks) but the difference in my skin is already noticeable. It's much clearer - it hasn't done too much for the wrinkles yet, but my skin is definitely plumper and my skin barrier much better. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this product to first time retinol users - amazing.

Great starter retinol.
Low enough strength that any negative effects have been minimal to non-existent, but notable improvement in skin pigmentation and fine lines after a month of use - will be moving up to the next strength after this one is done, and would massively recommend as a beginner retinol.

Best in every aspect
I always wanted to actually stick with using retinoids, however, I am very critical of textures and user experience, and simply no product did it for me - I couldn't bear to use them long enough to actually see improvements, until I finally gave in to the rave this product has and bought it. Bestest decision ever, truly. Texture is divine, non-greasy, effective. Already repurchased!

Gentle on the skin
I love this medik8 product. I use liquid peptides in the morning and this product for the night. I used it exactly how it was recommended and my skin in the morning looks fresh and plumped. Definitely recommend!

Visible effect
First product from the brand - there was a visible difference on the first use in the morning. Didn’t cause any irritation, and absorbs well as the first layer. As an added bonus, the packaging is quite effective and hygienic. I look forward to trying other products from the brand.
