Description
Medik8 Crystal Retinal 6 is an evening serum-cream with 0.06% retinaldehyde (retinal), a form of vitamin A. It is the step up from Crystal Retinal 3 for skin already used to vitamin A, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines, resurface texture and renew the complexion.
What it does
Crystal Retinal boosts skin's natural collagen production to resurface and renew the complexion, reducing the appearance of fine lines in as little as 4 weeks*. It has the anti-ageing, radiance-boosting and clarifying benefits of retinol, and Medik8 says retinal gives visible results up to 11x faster. The peach-coloured serum-cream sinks in easily and has a natural vanilla and tonka bean aroma.
Who it suits
Crystal Retinal 6 suits skin that has used Crystal Retinal 3 or another vitamin A product without irritation. If you are new to vitamin A, start with strength 3 (or strength 1 for sensitive skin). Read our guide to choosing your Crystal Retinal strength.
How to use Crystal Retinal 6
- After cleansing in the evening, massage a small amount across the face, neck and décolletage.
- Let it absorb before applying your moisturiser.
- Phase it in: twice a week for 2 weeks, every other night for the next 2 weeks, then every night.
- Wear sunscreen the following morning, and for 1 week after you stop.
Use in the evening only. Consult a doctor if pregnant or breastfeeding.
