Medik8 Crystal Retinal 1 30ml

Medik8 Crystal Retinal 1 is a gentle night serum cream made with 0.01% encapsulated retinaldehyde, designed for first time vitamin A users or anyone with sensitive skin who wants a low-strength starting point. The silky, lightweight texture absorbs well and layers neatly with your usual evening moisturiser, making it easy to introduce into a simple routine.

This formula uses an encapsulation system to release retinaldehyde gradually, helping you build consistency with less chance of discomfort. With added hyaluronic acid and vitamin E, it supports a smoother looking finish and helps skin feel more comfortable while you introduce a vitamin A step.

Suitable for:

• First time vitamin A users.
• Sensitive skin.
• Skin that looks uneven or lacks radiance.
• Skin that looks affected by sun exposure.
• Anyone wanting to build a gradual night routine and avoid jumping in at higher strengths.

Benefits:

• Gentle starter strength: 0.01% encapsulated retinaldehyde designed for a gradual introduction.
• Smoother looking skin: Helps refine the look of texture over time for a more even finish.
• Supports a firmer-looking complexion: Helps skin look plumper and more resilient with consistent use.
• Helps reduce the look of fine lines: Supports a smoother looking appearance, especially where skin looks creased from dryness.
• Comfort focused formula: Encapsulation helps with a slower release for minimal irritation.

Key ingredients and features:

• 0.01% Encapsulated Retinaldehyde: A vitamin A derivative designed for overnight use at a beginner strength.
