Medik8 Crystal Retinal 1 30ml

A thoughtful first step into Medik8’s Crystal Retinal range, Crystal Retinal 1 is a nighttime vitamin A serum with 0.01% retinaldehyde. Medik8 positions this lowest strength for sensitive skin, so it offers a measured way to explore retinal while keeping the routine simple and considered. This is the 30 ml Crystal Retinal 1 strength; the number refers to its place in Medik8’s progressive strength ladder, not to a one-size-fits-all promise.

WHAT IT IS
A lightweight leave-on serum designed for evening use. Retinaldehyde is a form of vitamin A used in skincare. Medik8’s formula also includes moisturising ingredients such as glycerin and sodium hyaluronate, alongside vitamin E. The ingredient list can vary between regions or product updates, so please use the ingredients printed on the pack as the definitive reference.

WHY CHOOSE CRYSTAL RETINAL 1
• 0.01% retinaldehyde, the entry strength in Medik8’s Crystal Retinal ladder.
• Designed by Medik8 for sensitive skin looking to use a lower-strength retinal formula.
• A night-time step that fits between cleansing and moisturising.
• Part of a range that can be stepped up gradually over time; Medik8 recommends finishing at least one tube at the current strength before moving to the next.

HOW TO USE
In the evening, after cleansing, apply two pumps to the face and neck and allow it to absorb, then follow with moisturiser. If you are new to Crystal Retinal, patch test at least 24 hours before first use and introduce it gradually: twice weekly for the first two weeks, then every other night for the next two weeks before considering nightly use. Use sunscreen the following morning. Do not apply directly around the eye area.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, Medik8 generally recommends avoiding vitamin A products; speak with your doctor or midwife about ingredients before use. If irritation occurs, stop use and seek advice. Always check the product packaging for the current ingredient list and directions.

A considered choice for customers who want to begin with the gentlest strength in the Crystal Retinal range and build a consistent evening routine at their own pace.
