Medik8 launches ultra-powerful retinal formula

Joining the exisiting line-up of Crystal Retinal strengths 1,3,6 and 10, 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 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. 

Crystal Retinal 20 delivers big results.

The science 
Superior absorption: Crystal Retinal has a patented time-release delivery system that encapsulates retinaldehyde in a crystal molecular vehicle that is broken down by the skin’s natural enzymes upon contact. This unique action controls the release of the active to ensure that the formula remains stable, absorption is optimised and the highly- potent formula is distributed evenly and constantly throughout the night. 

Double-layered stabilisation system: Retinaldehyde is notoriously difficult to stabilise, but thanks to a collaboration between Medik8 and the University of Hertfordshire, Crystal RetinalTM features crystal encapsulation of retinaldehyde within a patent-pending stabilisation complex to keep the formula stable. This ensures maximum potency of the product to deliver exceptional results. 

Optimum hydration: Featuring multi-weight hyaluronic acid and vitamin E, Crystal Retinal comparable to clinical grade retinoic acid, it remains as gentle on the skin as traditional retinols. 

Crystal Retinal 20 is only available at clinic and should only be offered to clients once they have used two tubes of Crystal Retinal 10.
