MEDIK8 Crystal Retinal 10

Available in four strengths to match your skin's needs and tolerance, Medik8's Crystal Retinal enhances your skincare routine with stable retinaldehyde to stimulate collagen production, improving skin resilience and density. Level 10, containing 0.10% encapsulated retinaldehyde, is a step up from Level 6 for those ready to amplify their anti-aging regimen.

Retinoic acid, the active form of retinol utilized by the skin, is only available via prescription due to its potency. Retinol (vitamin A) must first convert to retinaldehyde and then to retinoic acid, a process that yields significant results but takes time. By bypassing one conversion step and using encapsulated retinaldehyde, a novel form of vitamin A, Medik8 accelerates the line-smoothing, brightening, firming, and dark spot-reducing effects, delivering noticeable changes in just four weeks.

The unique crystal structure of Crystal Retinal ensures stability and optimal absorption while minimizing irritation risks. With the radiance-enhancing, clarifying, and retexturizing benefits of retinol—minus the scaly side effects—this product fortifies skin overnight, producing visible improvements 11 times faster than retinol. The formula also includes hyaluronic acid and glycerin for plumping and moisture retention, and antioxidant vitamin E, making it ideal for those looking to speed up their anti-aging progress.
