      Hey Anna, thanks for your question ✨ This is great for beginners. Here are the usage instructions for the product: Apply to the skin in the evening after cleansing. NOTE! 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 🩷

      Hi 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💫

    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. What skincare products would you recommend to combine with the retinal based on my skin type? ☺️ Thankful for any response!

      Hi 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🌻

    Curious to start using

    Hi, I've read a lot of good things about this and will use it for acne. Currently, I'm using LRP Effaclar H-Iso-Biome cleanser and cream. Does it work together? I'm also using Effaclar Duo+ as a night cream, but I'm thinking of stopping that! I would love to receive tips on new cleansers as well as day cream/night cream. Thanks in advance!

    Suitable night cream?

    Does this go well with the Filorga Time Filler 5xp cream that I use as a night cream? I'm also wondering if it works with the Emma S. Ageless Night cream, which I alternate with? Thanks in advance!

      Thank you so much for the reply! Then I will use it with Filorgan. Was unsure about which acid it was (or if it counted as A-vitamin) in the Emm S night cream.

    Azelaic acid?

    Hey! Can this be used together with azelaic acid? And is it recommended when you have a weak skin barrier?

      Thank you for the great answers! I have been prescribed azelaic acid by my doctor. I have tried most other things, but I don't think there's anything that helps.

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.
