Ingredients
Crystal Retinal 3 utilizes a time-release delivery system, minimizing potential irritation associated with retinoids. This innovative encapsulation technology allows for gradual release of the retinaldehyde, promoting optimal skin tolerance and efficacy.
Medik8's research and development team has focused on creating a stable and effective retinaldehyde product suitable for incremental strengthening of the skin's retinoid tolerance.
The formula includes hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and vitamin E to support hydration and protect against environmental stressors. Retinaldehyde, the key active, converts directly to retinoic acid in the skin, offering potent anti-aging benefits, including improved skin texture, reduced wrinkles, and minimized pore appearance.
Independent clinical studies have demonstrated retinaldehyde's effectiveness in promoting collagen production and reducing signs of photoaging. Start by applying a pea-sized amount of Crystal Retinal 3 in the evening after cleansing, 2-3 times per week, gradually increasing frequency as tolerated. Always follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day.

Gently massage the serum evenly across your face and neck, avoiding the delicate eye area.
Allow the product to absorb completely before applying any other moisturizers or serums. For first-time users, it's crucial to introduce this product gradually.
Start by using it only twice a week for the first two weeks.
If your skin tolerates it well, increase the frequency to every other night for the next two weeks.
Ultimately, you can aim for nightly use, depending on your skin's sensitivity.
If you experience any redness, dryness, or peeling, reduce the frequency of application.
Always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher during the day, as retinol can increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun.
Top Notes: This product is a skincare serum, not a traditional perfume, and therefore doesn't have typical fragrance top notes. However, the initial impression may be slightly medicinal or clinical due to the encapsulated retinaldehyde.
Heart Notes: As Crystal Retinal 3 is absorbed, any initial scent dissipates quickly. There may be a subtle, almost imperceptible waxy or slightly oily note from the serum's base ingredients.
Base Notes: Crystal Retinal 3 is designed to be absorbed and work beneath the skin's surface. It does not have lingering base notes like a perfume. Any residual scent is likely to be neutral and undetectable.
