How to Use

Step 1
If you're new to Crystal Retinal or Advanced Night Restore, we recommend a patch test at least 24 hours before first use. Learn how to patch test here.

After cleansing in the evening, apply 2 pumps of Crystal Retinal to the face and neck. Allow to absorb.

Step 2
For new users of Crystal Retinal, phase in application 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 sunscreen the next morning after using vitamin A.

Step 3
Once Crystal Retinal is fully absorbed, apply Advanced Night Restore to face, neck and décolletage using upward strokes.

Available Strengths

Ladder up your visible age-defying results over time with Crystal Retinal's 5 progressive strengths (0.01% - 0.2% 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%) and finally Crystal Retinal 20 (0.2%). Not sure which strength is right for you? Take our simple quiz to find out.

Key Ingredients
Retinaldehyde

Proven to work up to 11 times faster than standard retinol,* retinaldehyde (retinal for short) is a revolutionary form of vitamin A that effectively targets the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, uneven skin texture and loss of firmness - without irritation.

Hyaluronic Acid

With a unique ability to hold over 1,000x its weight in water, it draws moisture into the skin’s upper layers, leaving it visibly plump, hydrated and supple.

Vitamin E

A powerful antioxidant that provides antioxidant protection against the ageing effects of free radicals while also helping to stabilise retinol for optimal power.

Multi-Ceramide Complex (with essential lipids)

A unique combination of ceramides (alongside phytosterol (pronounced 'fee-ta-STE-rol) and fatty acids) which mimic the skin’s natural lipid barrier to intensely restore and nourish.

Frequently Asked Questions

When, and how, should I apply Crystal Retinal - do I need to phase it into my routine?
Yes. You should apply Crystal Retinal as part of your evening skincare routine - after cleanser, toner and serums, but before your moisturiser. We always recommend phasing Crystal Retinal into your existing skincare regimen; using it twice a week for two weeks, then every other night for two weeks, then every night after that. You do not have to phase in when moving up a strength within the Crystal Retinal ladder (e.g. when moving from Crystal Retinal 3 to Crystal Retinal 6)
Should Advanced Night Restore be used in the morning or evening?
Advanced Night Restore should be used in the evening, as the last step of your nighttime routine. This is because it is designed to work in synergy with your skin's natural overnight repair processes.
Can I use Crystal Retinal while pregnant or breastfeeding?
As a cosmetics company, we are unable to provide product advice in relation to medical conditions such as pregnancy or breastfeeding. We strongly recommend discussing the ingredients with your GP or midwife before use. We do, however, generally recommend avoiding vitamin A use while pregnant or breastfeeding, which is why we offer a plant-based vitamin A alternative - Bakuchiol Peptides.
Can I use Crystal Retinal every night?
As long as you build your use up gradually and start with the appropriate strength to begin with, you can use Crystal Retinal every night. For new users of Crystal Retinal, we strongly recommend that you phase-in application to enable your skin to build up a tolerance while avoiding any potential irritation. Use twice a week for the first two weeks, every other night for the following two weeks, then every night.
Why has Advanced Night Restore been formulated to work alongside vitamin A?
Due to rapid cell turnover promoted by vitamin A use, sometimes skin can feel a little drier than usual. This makes Advanced Night Restore the perfect complement to vitamin A use - ensuring you get all the power of the vitamin A alongside the most comforting and nourishing moisturisation experience.
