Welcome to the world of Medik8 Crystal Retinal, where innovation meets skincare to deliver unparalleled results. We are thrilled to introduce you to the ground-breaking Crystal Retinal range, culminating in the much-anticipated launch of Crystal Retinal 20. Whether you’re new to vitamin A or a seasoned user, this guide will provide you with all the insights you need to elevate your skincare routine with confidence.
Retinaldehyde, the star ingredient in Medik8's Crystal Retinal, is a powerful vitamin A derivative. It works up to 11 times faster than traditional retinol, offering visible improvements similar to prescription-strength retinoic acid but with a gentler approach. Medik8 excels with its unique advantages:
- Potency: providing powerful results with gentle application
- Patented Stability: ensuring retinal remains effective until the last drop
- Proven Results: backed by clinical trials and professional endorsements
- Progressive Strengths: allowing users to build tolerance and achieve continuous visible benefits
Whether you’re new to vitamin A or an experienced user, this guide will help you elevate your skincare routine confidently.

Designed for highly experienced users who have completed at least two tubes of Crystal Retinal 10, ready for clinical-strength results.Please note that when progressing through the Crystal Retinal ladder, it is important to complete the use of one full tube before moving on to the next strength level.
To integrate Crystal Retinal into your routine, begin with a cleansing to remove impurities and prepare your skin for better absorption. Start with the appropriate strength for your skin type and gradually increase usage up the Crystal Retinal ladder. Apply a small amount to your face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Follow with a hydrating moisturiser to lock in moisture and enhance the retinal’s effects. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day, as vitamin A derivatives can increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun.
To further enhance your skincare regimen, consider layering with these Medik8 products: Hydr8 B5 Intense, a powerful hydrating serum to use before your moisturiser; C-Tetra Luxe, a vitamin C serum for morning use to complement the anti-aging effects of retinal; and Advanced Night Restore, a nourishing night cream with ceramides, formulated to work with vitamin A to support skin repair and recovery while you sleep.
Medik8’s Crystal Retinal range offers a revolutionary approach to anti-ageing skincare, providing options for every level of vitamin A user. With the launch of Crystal Retinal 20, even the most experienced users can achieve clinical-strength results from the comfort of their home. Remember to start low and go slow, and your journey to radiant, youthful-looking skin.

Each step of the ladder of strengths is designed to meet you where you are and guide you to where you want to be in your skincare journey.
