Retinaldehyde is a highly effective vitamin A derivative that requires just one conversion step within the skin to become retinoic acid, helping support natural skin renewal and collagen production.
Powered by Medik8's innovative stabilisation and encapsulation technology, the formula helps protect retinal from degradation while allowing controlled delivery for effective results with reduced potential for irritation.
Crystal Retinal 3 helps visibly improve fine lines, uneven skin texture, dullness, and the appearance of pigmentation and post-blemish marks.
Enriched with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, glycerin, and squalane, the formula provides hydration, antioxidant protection, and moisture barrier support.
Its lightweight, creamy texture absorbs comfortably into the skin, leaving the complexion feeling soft, smooth, and nourished.
Crystal Retinal 3 is an excellent introduction to retinal skincare, making it ideal for those new to vitamin A or transitioning from lower-strength retinol products.
