Strength
Hi! My skin can apparently handle strong retinol serums (have tried Ordinary 1%, can use it every day). What strength should I go for with this? I have some fine lines on my forehead and no major skin issues.481 views- The user's roll: Employees at Lyko. The comment was made 2 weeksHello Mikaela! 😊 Since you have already used The Ordinary Retinol 1% without any issues, it sounds like your skin is accustomed to vitamin A. Just keep in mind that Medik8 Crystal Retinal contains retinal, which is a more potent form than retinol. Based on what you describe, I would recommend starting with Crystal Retinal 6. If you have very resilient skin and have used retinoids for a longer time, Crystal Retinal 10 could also be an option, but introduce it gradually ✨ Remember to avoid using retinol/retinal products during the day if you know you will be out in the sun, and always use sunscreen during the day! 🌞1 likes

Combine with moisturizing SPF cream
Can it be combined with CeraVe Facial Moisturising Lotion SPF30? ✨757 views- The user's roll: Customer service at Lyko. The comment was made 1 monthHi Nina! Oh, how exciting! A good moisturizer to use together with this one is a moisturizer that is mild, fragrance-free, and strengthens the skin barrier. lyko.com/sv/cerave/cerave-moisturizing-cream-177-ml is a very good option because it contains ceramides and hyaluronic acid that help the skin recover and reduce the risk of dryness from retinal 🤍 All the best!1 likes

Mixing
Hi! Is there anything you absolutely shouldn’t use in the same routine as this serum? I have a bunch of different night masks I usually use, so I want to be sure 😀1257 views- The user's roll: Customer service at Lyko. The comment was made 2 monthsHello Sabina!🥰 I would avoid using it in the same routine as: glycolic acid salicylic acid lactic acid mandelic acid peeling products other retinol/retinal products strong vitamin C serums Otherwise, it can be a bit too strong for the skin and cause irritation 💙 Moisturizing and soothing night masks, however, work really well together 🫧 All the best!3 likes

Above Expectations!
I have been afraid to try retinoids because I was worried my acne would flare up and get worse before the product is fully acclimated. I was recommended this one and have slowly gotten used to it. I haven't had any negative reactions on my skin at all! This in the evening combined with azelaic acid in the morning has saved my acne-prone skin!3064 views - The post was made 6 months
Retinal Start
I have never used retinol/retinal products before, is this a good place to start?2884 views- The user's roll: Skin therapist at Lyko.

The use of retinol should be started gradually. Every third day for two weeks, then every other day in weeks 3-4. and every day starting from week five 🩷3 likes

Test
I want to try retinal from this brand for the first time, is this the right way to apply it?2530 views- The user's roll: Employees at Lyko. The comment was made 6 monthsHi Jennie😊 Thank you for your question✨ If you want to try retinal for the first time, Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3 is a really good choice. It contains 0.03% retinaldehyde, which is a mild starting strength that allows the skin to adjust to retinoids without it being too strong at once. I would always recommend starting cautiously, for example 2-3 evenings a week, and then increasing if the skin tolerates it. Since retinal can make the skin more sensitive, it’s also important to use a mild moisturizer as needed and always sunscreen during the day. This way, you can build up the skin step by step, benefit from the effects, and minimize irritation. Hope the answer can be helpful and that you have a lovely day💫1 likes

Skincare Routine
Hey! I use this and really like it! However, I'm not completely satisfied with my other skincare routine at the moment since I usually have oily skin with some redness, but I feel like it has gotten worse.

Question
Hi! Can this be combined with Exuviance radiance serum, exuviance antiredness calming serum, and exuviance glycolic expert moisturizer? Best regards, Isabell3299 views- The user's roll: Employees at Lyko. The comment was made 10 monthsHi Isabell😊 Thank you for your question!✨ Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3 is an active and effective A-vitamin product, but since you are already using products with active ingredients – like glycolic acid and exfoliating serums – it might be a bit too much for the skin, especially if you are already experiencing redness and sensitivity. To avoid stressing the skin, I recommend that you: - Introduce Retinal slowly (e.g. 1-2 evenings/week) - Avoid combining it with acids the same evening - Continue with soothing products on the evenings you use Retinal Feel free to try it on a small area first to see how your skin reacts, and back off if you experience sensitivity so that the skin barrier is not disrupted and irritated. Also, don’t forget sunscreen during the day regardless🌞 I hope my answer can be helpful and that you have a lovely Friday&weekend🌻2 likes

Description
Ingredients
Rediscover youthful skin with Crystal Retinal™, Medik8’s latest innovation in vitamin A is now available in four strengths. Formulated with stabilised retinal, a powerful derivative of vitamin A with next-generation anti-ageing results. Unmatched in its age-defying power, retinal can deliver results comparable to clinical-grade vitamin A up to 11 times faster than classic forms of retinol.1 The ground-breaking overnight serum visibly minimises fine lines and wrinkles; firming and plumping the complexion to resurface skin texture and soften the face. Featuring hyaluronic acid, glycerin and vitamin E, it hydrates skin at every level to deliver a supple, even-toned, more youthful-looking complexion. More than that, it actively helps reduce blemish-causing bacteria to keep skin clear and balanced. In just 4 weeks, skin is noticeably younger, smoother and undeniably radiant.
Crystal Retinal 3
Stable Retinal Night Serum Medium-Strength Vitamin A
The entry point for those who are new to vitamin A or have tried mild retinol formulas and the answer to those looking to prevent early signs of skin ageing.
0.03% Encapsulated Retinaldehyde.
Use:
After cleansing in the evening, massage a small amount of Crystal Retinal across the face, neck and décolletage. Allow to absorb before applying your moisturiser. Crystal Retinal application should be phased in gradually, and only use in the evening. Use twice a week for the first 2 weeks, every other night for the next 2 weeks, then every night. Always wear sunscreen the following morning while using this product, and for 1 week after. Consult a doctor if breastfeeding or pregnant.
