Medik8 Crystal Retinal 6 30ml

Medik8 Crystal Retinal 6 is a mid strength vitamin A night serum cream with 0.06 per cent encapsulated retinaldehyde to help refine texture, soften the look of lines and promote a clearer, more even looking tone. The silky, lightweight formula sinks in quickly and is cushioned with hyaluronic acid and vitamin E for comfortable nightly use, so skin feels smooth, supple and well cared for by morning.

Suitable for: Skin showing early to visible signs of ageing or photo related dullness. A good step for those already comfortable with retinol who wish to move up to retinal. Not recommended for very sensitive skin without patch testing.

Benefits:

• Smoother looking texture: Supports surface renewal to reduce the appearance of fine lines and rough patches.
• More even tone: Helps improve the look of uneven colour so skin appears brighter and clearer over time.
• Comfortable night wear: Hydrating agents keep skin feeling soft with less dryness linked to vitamin A routines.
• Time smart delivery: Crystal encapsulation provides a gradual, skin friendly release.
• Layers easily: Lightweight cream serum sits well under night moisturisers without pilling.

Key Ingredients:

• Retinaldehyde 0.06 per cent: An advanced form of vitamin A that supports visible renewal for a smoother, more refined look.
• Hyaluronic Acid: Draws in water for immediate softness and a plump feel.
• Vitamin E: Antioxidant care that helps defend against daily environmental stress.
• Glycerin and Squalane: Comforting hydrators that keep the skin feeling balanced.

How to Use:

• Evening only. After cleansing, smooth a pea sized amount over face and neck, avoiding the eye and lip areas.
• Phase in slowly: use twice a week for two weeks, then every other night for two weeks, then nightly as comfortable.
• Follow with your usual night moisturiser if desired.
• Each morning, apply a broad spectrum SPF as the final step in your routine.

Expert Tips:

• To buffer, apply a light moisturiser first, then this product, if your skin is prone to dryness.
• Avoid using strong exfoliating acids or other retinoids on the same evening.
• Apply to the backs of hands and décolletage if these areas show texture or tone concerns. Patch test first.

Good to Know:

• Vitamin A can increase sun sensitivity, so daily SPF is essential.
• Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding; seek advice before use.
• Store away from heat and light. Close cap tightly after use. Carton and tube are recyclable through many local council schemes.

Pairs well with:

• A gentle, soap free cleanser for a calm start to your evening routine.
• A hydrating serum such as a hyaluronic acid gel on nights when extra comfort is needed.
• A nourishing night cream to seal in moisture.
