Award-winning Age-Defying Vitamin A Night Serum - Reveal younger-looking skin with just 1 tube of Crystal Retinal.

The iconic vitamin A night serum contains next-generation retinAL (not retinol) which is clinically proven to act 11x faster than retinol,* to visibly smooth, brighten and firm skin. Unlike others, our globally patented stability system ensures maximum retinal potency and effectiveness until the very last drop. All this without irritation, thanks to our industry-leading encapsulation technology which delivers gentle yet powerful results - even on sensitive skin.

Recommended by professionals and dermatologists worldwide, our unique ladder of 5 progressive strengths (0.01 - 0.2% retinaldehyde) means you can keep experiencing ever-improving benefits that tackle the most stubborn fine lines, wrinkles and dark spots.

Crystal Retinal is THE age-defying night serum for every serious skincare routine.

    How to use
    "Step 1 After cleansing in the evening, apply 2 pumps of Crystal Retinal to the face and neck. Allow to absorb then follow with a moisturiser. We recommend Advanced Night Restore which is specifically designed to be used after vitamin A. Step 2 For new users of Crystal Retinal, phase application in gradually. Use twice a week for the first 2 weeks, every other night for the next 2 weeks, then every night. You should always use a sunscreen the next morning after using vitamin A. NOTE Ladder up your visible age-defying results over time with Crystal Retinal's 5 progressive strengths (0.01% - 0.1% retinaldehyde) - only available at Medik8. For those with very sensitive skin, we recommend starting with Crystal Retinal 1 (0.01%). However, most Crystal Retinal and vitamin A beginners start on Crystal Retinal 3 (0.03%). If you're an experienced vitamin A user already, start at Crystal Retinal 6 (0.06%) before working your way up to Crystal Retinal 10 (0.1%). "
