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.

AMAZING!
Bought this with a discount code as my cheaper Retinol product had run out. This stuff is amazing! Since I am a regular retinol user, I didn't experience any sensitivity and have been using it about 3x a week as part of my evening routine. I am currently experiencing a little bit of a purging period, but nothing that I wouldn't happily work through for the next couple weeks. My skin overall looks brighter, smoother and fresher and I have a feeling it will just keep getting better after several months of use.

Well what can I say this product is just THE best! After struggling with my skin I was recommended this by a friend... I had results pretty much overnight and they just keep getting better!

Very good
I bought this in April and had been consistently using it about 3 times a week. I used it after cleansing, and then I layered the Medika8 Advanced Night Restore after. I am quite happy with this product. It is effective without being too strong and causing any bad reactions, despite it being a retinal. Layering on a really good moisturiser after the retinal really helps, and there was no dryness or irritation. My skin felt smoother when I woke up in the morning, the texture is creamy, and the scent is like vanilla and quite subtle. I am almost done with the tube I got and had already purchased the retinal 6, ready for the upgrade.

Medik8 Christal Retinal3
This was suggested to me by a Cult Beauty Lovely Lady and I think the product itself is fabulous, really suited my skin without complication and helped to reduce uneven skin tone even on my rapidly ageing skin. The packaging is unfortunate. The pump at the end of the tube lasts about 5 times. It was suggested I squeeze the tube whilst pressing the pump top. Didn't work either. Solution; either waste the rest of the product still in the tube or cut the bottom of the tube and squeeze the remaining product into a CLEAN glass pot and just hope the product keeps its efficacy. So sad as the products really do what they say. Wanted to buy their SPF but note that has the same daft top. Also wanted to 'go up a notch' and try the Retinal 6 but think it would be the same problem. What's wrong with a simple tube you can squeeze then replace the top. Simple!

No difference yet...
I can't see any difference in my skin yet but I've been quickly able to move to applying this on a daily basis with no ill effects. The smell is lovely and it sinks in quickly. I have only just learned that this should be used on the eye area too with eye cream applied after it sinks in.

Brilliant
This is my first retinol but I am converted. No redness or flaking but visibly better skin - both in terms of pore size and fine lines/radiance.

Lovely product
I have been using this for about 4 weeks now and really like the product. I have also upgraded from The Inkey List and find I get no irritation or dryness at all. The only issue I have is with the pump which doesn’t always dispense the product. I will definitely repurchase.

Love it!
I 'upgraded' to this from the inky list retinol serum and will never look back. The texture was a bit weird at first, a lot thicker than I was used to at serum stage. However, I've had zero irritation, and my skin doesn't feel dry or tight on waking up, in fact it feels lovely and smooth. I've been using it for a few weeks and have already seen a difference in my pores. Love it.
