THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE FORMULA

Science Behind - Retinal Rewind

DANIEL ISAACS Chief Product Officer & Founding Partner of Medik8

Crystal Retinal: 

A true breakthrough in vitamin A skincare.

When it comes to vitamin A, the more stable the molecule, the more effective it can be on the skin. Crystal Retinal offers a level of retinal stability that can only be found at Medik8.

Our innovative stability system features our renowned crystal encapsulation technology, a patented carrot seed oil complex, and airless packaging. All this comes together to protect the retinal molecule for unmatched potency, long-lasting effectiveness and proven skin comfort.

Unlike many retinals, which can cause flaking and irritation, Crystal Retinal has been expertly formulated in our in-house laboratory with a unique combination of the highest quality ingredients and patented technologies so it's gentle yet very powerful.

Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye: 

Delivers clinically proven results - without irritation.

Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye has been expertly optimised for the delicate eye area. Twin-encapsulated, stabilised retinaldehyde ensures ultra-slow ingredient release, which mitigates irritation around the very delicate eye area. 

Our progressive ladder system, with 3 strengths of retinal for the eye area, allows you to start low and slow. Move up in strength when you're ready to intensify your results. Hyaluronic acid filling spheres and ceramides boost the formula by helping to address key concerns around the eyes, such as crow's feet and dryness, while working to visibly lift and smooth the look of eye contours. 

The formula itself is nourishing yet lightweight and soothing; perfectly balanced for the easily overloaded eye area. The airless packaging is also designed to deliver optimised dosage for this sensitive area while also reducing product waste.
