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.

Fantastic
First time for me to try retinal serum and I was nervous because I got sensitive dry skin. But this one is really gentle and easy to get on with, I can see the skin is brighter and pore getting smaller too, highly recommend to retinal starters!

Repurchased it
I have received this retinol serum in a goody bag last year and it is amazing! Doesn’t break me out or irritate my skin. It has a really nice scent, which is quite strong like gingerbread, so if you are sensitive to scents, this might not be for you. It’s quite pricey but I really love this.

Nice formula
With all these products, results aren’t instant. I’ve started using this product, weekly with moisturiser, then bi-weekly, then every other day, and so far I’ve had no skin irritation. Looking forward to move up the levels!

Good product
A brilliant formulation, feel I have seen the most results with this product out of any retinol I have tried. However it did break me out when I started using it.

The one retinal I trust
I’ve tried a few retinal serums and always come back to this one. I’ve used ones which have aggravated my skin causing it to burn and flake. This one is gentle enough to use often and to build through the levels. It doesn’t smell offensive. Really pleased with my purchase.

A beginner's option
I'm new to vitamin A and this is the perfect option for beginners. I've just started to use it and I can feel / see the effect; cleaner, smoother and brighter! I also really like Medik8 recommendations of spacing it out and balancing with other products like HA, Vitamin C etc.

Great
I tried so many cheaper vit A serum before and none of them worked, so i thought I treat myself to this one and so far so good. I didn’t have extreme purging and peeling like i did with the other ones I’ve tried, my skin looks a lot brighter and smoother. I’m 26 so I’m using it more as a anti aging preventative measure, however I’m pretty sure that it will help with slowing down the formation of fine lines, wrinkles etc. Well worth the money
