Hear from the experts
"Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye has been expertly optimised for the delicate eye area. We based the formula around twin-encapsulated, stabilised retinaldehyde to ensure ultra-slow retinal release. This mitigates irritation around the very delicate eye area without any compromise on results.
Our progressive ladder system with 3 strengths of retinal allows you to start low and slow, moving up in strength when you are ready to intensify results.
Ingredients such as hyaluronic acid filling spheres and ceramides help to address key concerns around the eyes such as fine lines & wrinkles, 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 packaging is also designed to deliver optimised dosage for this sensitive area."

Discover youthful skin with Medik8 Crystal Retinal, the one-of-a-kind, ground-breaking serum that reinvented vitamin A skincare. Available in a series of progressive strengths to accompany you on your journey to Results Without Compromise.
- WHO IS THIS FOR
- Crystal Retinal is our ‘everyone’ vitamin A. It is renowned for its universal hydrating texture and low-irritation potential, while delivering profound, proven age-defying results.
Extremely sensitive skins should start low on Crystal Retinal 1 (0.01% retinal), with Crystal Retinal 3 (0.03%) best for sensitive skins or for those nervous about using retinal. Most people can start on Crystal Retinal 6 (0.06%) and gradually move up to Crystal Retinal 10 (0.1%) & 20 (0.2%) for clinical-strength results. - RETINAL VS RETINOL
- RetinoL is two conversion steps away from active retinoid ‘retinoic acid’, whereas retinal is just one step away. So you get faster, elevated results.
Retinal improves all of the visible signs of ageing 11 times faster than retinol.[1]
Unlike other forms of vitamin A, our Crystal Retinal formula is suitable for even the most sensitive skins.
Retinal is the only form of vitamin A with antibacterial properties, making it perfect for oily or blemish-prone complexions. - WHY IT’S UNIQUE
- Crystal Retinal is a one-of-a-kind innovation within the retinoid category. Not only featuring a patented stability system to offer unparalleled sustained levels of retinal power, Medik8 have taken it one step further and developed a progressive 5-strength ladder from 0.01% to 0.2% retinal. Harness the power of this molecule in a skin-friendly solution to build visible results comfortably over time.
