Additional Information
Vitamin A taken to the new heights of innovation. Crystal Retinal™ is an advanced anti-ageing serum-cream created with stabilised retinaldehyde (retinal), a next-generation form of vitamin A. Not to be mistaken for ""retinol"" (the classic form), retinaldehyde has been shown in multiple scientific studies to be more effective than retinol, but without added irritation.[1][2]
Retinal can deliver results comparable to clinical-grade vitamin A up to 11 times quicker than retinol.[3] Stabilised using patented crystal encapsulation and a patent-pending carrot seed complex, this innovative overnight serum visibly minimises the signs of ageing; firming and plumping the complexion to resurface skin texture and create an overall youthful appearance. The vitamin A is released gradually into the skin during the night, for maximum comfort
Crystal Retinal also includes hyaluronic acid and glycerin to draw moisture to every level of the skin, leaving it hydrated and visibly supple.
As well as addressing signs of ageing, Crystal Retinal has antibacterial properties that help to improve the overall clarity of the complexion.[4]
Medik8 offer progressive concentrations of Crystal Retinal products which form the Medik8 Crystal Retinal Ladder. Crystal Retinal 1, containing 0.01% retinaldehyde, is recommended as a beginning point for those with very sensitive skin before moving to Crystal Retinal 3.
Medik8 recommend a simple, highly effective anti-ageing strategy of using vitamin C and sunscreen in the morning and vitamin A at night. This strategy is called: CSA.
