Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3 30ml

Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3 is a night serum cream with 0.03% encapsulated retinaldehyde, created for those new to vitamin A or stepping up from milder retinol products. Retinaldehyde works in the skin as a direct form of vitamin A that supports a smoother looking texture, a more even tone and the appearance of firmer skin over time. The crystal encapsulation system releases retinal gradually to help keep the experience comfortable while you build consistent results.

The silky cream texture layers easily with your evening routine and pairs well with a moisturiser to help maintain hydration. With added hyaluronic acid and vitamin E, Crystal Retinal 3 supports skin that can feel dry or tight when introducing vitamin A. Used regularly, it helps refine the look of early fine lines, improve the appearance of dullness, and promote a clearer, more balanced looking complexion.

Suitable for: First time vitamin A users, or anyone moving up from a mild retinol. Ideal for skin that looks dull, uneven, or is beginning to show early fine lines. Suitable for most skin types when introduced gradually.

Benefits:

• Smoother looking texture: Helps refine the appearance of uneven skin and early fine lines.
• More even tone: Supports a brighter, more consistent looking complexion.
• Comfortable step up: Encapsulated retinal is released gradually to help minimise dryness and visible irritation.
• Hydration support: Hyaluronic acid helps skin feel plumper and more comfortable.
• Antioxidant care: Vitamin E helps support the skin against daily environmental stress.
• Nightly routine friendly: Lightweight cream texture absorbs well and layers neatly with moisturiser.

Key Ingredients:

• Encapsulated retinaldehyde 0.03%: Vitamin A derivative that helps improve the look of texture, tone and fine lines.
• Hyaluronic acid: Helps attract moisture for a smoother, more cushioned feel.
• Vitamin E: Antioxidant support to help maintain skin comfort and resilience.

How to Use:

• Use in the evening on cleansed, dry skin.
• Apply a small amount across face and neck, then follow with your usual moisturiser.
• Introduce gradually: use twice weekly for two weeks, then every other night for two weeks, then nightly if skin remains comfortable.
• Use broad spectrum SPF each morning while using vitamin A products.

Expert Tips:

• If your skin feels dry, use a richer moisturiser on top or reduce frequency for a week, then build back up.
• Avoid using strong exfoliating acids on the same night until your skin has adjusted.
• Apply around the eye contour only if your eye product is designed for vitamin A, and keep away from the lash line.

Good to Know:

• For external use only and avoid direct contact with eyes.
• Vitamin A can increase sun sensitivity, so daily SPF is essential.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, seek medical advice before using vitamin A products.
