Making skin care simple, Medik8 takes the fuss out of caring for your complexion. Powered by three key ingredients: vitamin C, vitamin A and non-negotiable SPF, the brand's signature skin care saviours are famed for their potent potions... just like the Crystal Retinal 1 Serum (30ml), an overnight treatment that works to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, as well as blemish-causing bacteria.
With 0.01% encapsulated retinaldehyde, AKA retinal, the Crystal Retinal 1 Serum (30ml) is your new hard-working hero serum, plumping, softening and firming the look of skin.
A cream-like serum that effortlessly melts into skin, this is your new nighttime treat. Providing the same results as retinol but up to 11 times faster, retinal works to boost the appearance of collagen-rich skin, revealing bouncy and dewy results. Encased in a crystal structure that can be broken down by the skin's natural enzymes, retinal is easily absorbed, allowing the slow release of vitamin A while you sleep. Add hyaluronic acid, vitamin E and glycerin into the prodigious blend, and you have a serum that deeply hydrates, for a healthy-looking, supple complexion.

Good
I have very sensitive skin which can react to sunscreens and is quite reactive. I was nervous to try retinol but this number 1 has been amazing. No reaction at all and my skin is looking good and feels good too. I will use this a while and may even consider the 3 in this range. I trust this brand and I am happy

Amazing!!!
I love love love this retinol! I just started using retinol to help with texture and to start on my preventative care against aging, and this is the one I decided to start with. It’s not too harsh, feels lovely in the skin after applying and there is a visible difference to the skin. I will be moving to the Crystal Retinal 3 soon and I can’t to see how it goes!!

Simply great
I bought this to give my skin a break from prescription strength retinol, just wanted something a bit gentler for winter. I was expecting good things because I know how great Medik8 is and I'm glad to say that all my expectations were met. No breakouts, no peeling, just soft and even-toned skin. You can't really go wrong with this.

Mixed feelings
I’ve been using this product 3 times a week for about 1 - 2 months alongside with Vit C (which by the way smells amazing!)For the first few weeks my skin looks a lot more glowy and plumper but unfortunately I now have an acne breakout on my chin and jaw. It’s pretty bad. Worst breakout I’ve had since a teenager lol I’ve researched it and it seems this can be quite common with retinol - almost like a purge! So I’m going to carry on and see if I come out the other side  … fingers crossed!

So worth it
I have never been able to tolerate retinol (in the past it triggered breakouts, red patches) and I am amazed at how lovely, plump and healthy this makes my skin feel. Follow the instructions for usage and you will see the difference in the first few weeks. It has a beautiful texture (creamy but light and absorbs fast) and very subtle scent. This is really one of the best products I have ever tried and I cannot wait to move onto Retinal 3! For reference my skin is normal-dry and sometimes sensitised and my staples are BR Vip 02 cleanser, Dr. Dennis Gross peel pads and LED mask, Medik8 vitamin C tetra (and now this!), La Mer soft cream, Valmont prime pack and Skinceuticals SPF.
