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.

Gentle but effective
This is my first time using retinal and so far, so good. It's gentle but definitely effective.

Great retinol for beginners!
I’ve been using this for over a month and very happy with the results so far! I have very sensitive skin so I had some concerns about breaking out, but started out slow and can now using almost every day without any issues! It’s been a great product to start getting my skin used to retinoids, ideal for beginners in my opinion!

Fantastic
I’ve purchased this serum about 6 times? Maybe more who knows It’s not too agressive but still does the job and I wake up with a glow. I will say it took me some time to realize it works best for me if I use it every 5 days - I have very sensitive skin

Meh
Didn't see any improvements and I just hate the packaging - you can't get all the product out and must cut the tube open to use this thing up. Shouldn't happen at this price point...

Great product
Been useing this for over 6 months and I do see slight difference. With retinol you need patience and since this one is not as strong as the other ones from this line it does not have a huge effect. I already repurchased it and plan to start with number 3 after I finish it

Forever repurchasing
I buy it for myself, I buy it for everyone. The best in the market. I have sensitive skin and it didn't cause any issues for me. The weaker version wouldn't be enough for me so unless one has rosacea, this version is pretty good. One tube is enough to see improvement in fine lines and texture and can't wait to see better results with the second tube.
