Experience Medik8 Crystal Retinal® 10 in a deluxe 4ml advanced sample. Formulated with 0.1% encapsulated retinaldehyde, this high-strength vitamin A night serum is designed for advanced vitamin A users seeking powerful age-defying results. It works up to 11× faster than classic retinol to visibly refine texture, soften lines, even skin tone and boost radiance.

This concentrated cream-serum pairs retinaldehyde with hydrating hyaluronic acid, moisture-boosting glycerin, squalane and antioxidant vitamin E, helping to support skin barrier function while delivering clinically proven anti-ageing benefits. The patented stability system keeps retinal potent yet gentle, minimising irritation while maximising results.

How to Use

Use in the evening only. After cleansing, apply a small amount of Crystal Retinal® 10 to the face, neck and décolleté. Allow to absorb, then follow with your chosen moisturiser. Introduce gradually: use twice weekly for the first two weeks, every other night for the next two weeks, then nightly as tolerated. Always apply a broad-spectrum SPF during the day while using this product and for 7 days after final application.

Safety Advice

Avoid contact with eyes; if product enters the eyes, rinse well with water. Do not apply to broken, irritated or inflamed skin. Discontinue use if persistent irritation occurs and consult a doctor if needed. Vitamin A may increase skin sensitivity to the sun – daily SPF is essential. Consult a doctor before use if pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other vitamin A/retinoid products. Patch testing prior to use is recommended (see medik8.co/patch for guidance).
