Retinaldehyde is a powerful 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 retinal stabilisation and encapsulation technology, the formula helps preserve the effectiveness of retinal while allowing controlled delivery for visible results with a reduced risk of irritation.
Crystal Retinal 6 helps smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin firmness, refine uneven texture, and promote a brighter, clearer-looking complexion.
The formula is enriched with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, glycerin, and squalane to provide 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 6 is an excellent choice for those already familiar with vitamin A skincare and looking to progress from a lower retinal concentration to more intensive anti-ageing care.
