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, non-irritating
This made my skin look smoother and helped with texture, and was non-irritating as well. Only drawback was the price which is too high considering there are so many other retinols that do as good as a job without charging this much

Worth The Money!
I’m a savvy person and I’ve always tried to get my retinols through budget friendly options (at the pharmacy or other brands). Unfortunately, this only resulted in a severely damaged skin barrier because stronger is not always better. I’ve decided to trust Medik8 due to the impressive results I’ve seen on social media and I honestly just wish I had trusted them years ago. I’ve been using it every other day for 3 weeks and my skin looks better than years on prescription retinoids. No more breakouts, post-acne marks controlled and an overall glow like never before. A pea-sized amount every other day will last me 3-4 months easily, but I’m already re-purchasing to have a back-up.

First time trying retinol
I was recommended this brand and I’ve been slowly introducing the product into my routine, no huge breakouts or issues yet! I really like the packaging and it’s working well for me so far

Taking it slow
This is good, but you need to work up to using it nightly so it doesn’t irritate the skin barrier. I’m at the purging stage but confident that it’s going to help clear and smooth my complexion before I move up to the next strength. Try it!

New staple
Love this product! I have been using it for over a month and it makes my skin so smooth. It's also absorbed on the face quickly and has no strong smell.
