Medik8 Crystal Retinal 20

Experience the most powerful addition to the Crystal Retinal family.

Achieve your best skin yet with Crystal Retinal™. Now available in five strengths, including the  latest addition, Crystal Retinal™ 20. Only available in clinics through therapist consultation,  Crystal Retinal™ 20 is double the strength of the current highest Crystal Retinal™ formula  making it our most powerful addition yet. The existing retail line up of Crystal Retinal  strengths 1, 3, 6 and 10 remain in full distribution and available to buy online as usual.​ ​Clients  need to have used 2 full tubes of Crystal Retinal 10 or used it continuously for 3 months (whichever is sooner) in order to power up to Crystal Retinal 20.

Crystal Retinal​™ ​20 is 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. The  ground-breaking overnight serum visibly minimises fine lines and wrinkles; firming and plumping the  appearance of the complexion to visibly resurface skin texture and soften the face. Featuring  hyaluronic acid, glycerin and vitamin E, it hydrates skin at every level to deliver a visibly supple, even-toned, more youthful-looking complexion. More than that, it actively helps reduce blemish-causing bacteria to keep skin looking clear and balanced. In just 4 weeks, skin is noticeably  younger, smoother and undeniably radiant.

Clinical-grade vitamin A, otherwise known as retinoic acid, is a powerful skincare ingredient that  triggers skin cell regeneration in order to effectively fight all visible signs of ageing.

But unlike retinol, which must first be converted to retinaldehyde and then to retinoic acid within the skin, ​Crystal Retinal​™​ only requires one conversion to retinoic acid. ​This means it can deliver results comparable to clinical-grade vitamin A up to ​11x faster than classic forms of retinol. However, retinaldehyde is almost impossible to stabilise; hence the lack of products including the ingredient on the market. Rising to the challenge, the scientists at Medik8 were the first to stabilise this  ingredient through a double-layered stabilisation system; combining an ingenious crystal encapsulation that gives the range its name with a patent-pending formula stabilisation complex to  maximise the retinaldehyde's stability.
