Medik8 Crystal Retinal 10

Medik8 Crystal Retinal 10 is the advanced step on Medik8's retinal ladder: a 0.1% retinaldehyde night serum for skin that has finished a tube of Crystal Retinal 6 and wants more from its vitamin A - deeper smoothing of lines, brighter tone and firmer-looking skin. Crystal Retinal is the No.1 retinal serum worldwide, and every strength shares the same patented stability system, so the retinal stays potent until the last pump.

Retinaldehyde is the form of vitamin A one step closer to retinoic acid than retinol, which is why it works up to 11 times faster. At 0.1%, Medik8 Crystal Retinal 10 targets the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, dark spots, uneven texture and loss of firmness, while hyaluronic acid, glycerin and squalane keep skin comfortable and vitamin E adds antioxidant support. Medik8 reports visible improvement in wrinkles, smoothness and brightness in as little as 7 days, and the range's clinical study on Crystal Retinal 6 found a 20% reduction in the appearance of wrinkles over 12 weeks.

Becci, an aesthetic nurse with over 20 years in specialist skincare and medical aesthetics, is often asked by clients whether they really need to move up a strength. Her honest answer is that Medik8 Crystal Retinal 10 is for skin that has genuinely finished with Crystal Retinal 6 and plateaued; when that is the case, this is the step she recommends.

Using your airless pump: Medik8 uses an airless tube system, which keeps the formula protected from air and light right to the last drop. Occasionally, small bubbles of air can become trapped within the product. If it stops dispensing, hold the pump pointing downwards and use your other hand to gently squeeze the bottom of the tube, like a toothpaste tube. Slowly move your hand up the tube while pressing the pump continuously, and the product should start to flow again.
