FAQS
Is Medik8 Crystal Retinal 24 better than retinol? +

Retinal (retinaldehyde) sits one conversion step closer to the active form of vitamin A than retinol, which is why Medik8 cites it working up to 11 times faster. Medik8 Crystal Retinal 24 delivers that at 0.24%, in a stabilised formula that stays potent to the last pump.

How long does Medik8 Crystal Retinal 24 take to work? +

Medik8 reports visible improvement in wrinkles, smoothness and brightness in as little as 7 days, with the range's 12-week clinical study on Crystal Retinal 6 showing a 20% reduction in the appearance of wrinkles. Allow a full tube for the complete picture.

Who should use Crystal Retinal 24? +

Expert vitamin A users only - Medik8 defines that as anyone who has used at least one full tube of Crystal Retinal 20 comfortably every night. It is the highest strength in the range and is not a starting point.

Can I use Crystal Retinal 24 every night? +

Once your skin is used to it, yes. Coming up from Crystal Retinal 20 you can continue nightly; if you notice dryness or sensitivity, alternate nights with a plain moisturiser until it settles.

How often should I use Crystal Retinal when I start? +

New to vitamin A: twice a week for two weeks, every other night for two weeks, then every night. Moving up from a lower Crystal Retinal strength: carry on nightly, no phase-in needed.

What should I use with Crystal Retinal? +

Cleanse, apply any targeted serum, then Crystal Retinal, then a moisturiser - Medik8 recommends Advanced Night Restore. In the morning use a vitamin C serum and always a broad-spectrum SPF.

Why has the pump stopped working? +

The tube is airless, so it is almost always trapped air rather than an empty or faulty tube. Hold it pointing down, gently squeeze the base like a toothpaste tube and work your hand up while pressing the pump.

Can I use Medik8 Crystal Retinal 24 during pregnancy or while breastfeeding? +

Medik8 generally recommends avoiding vitamin A while pregnant or breastfeeding and asks customers to discuss the ingredients with their GP or midwife. Medik8 Bakuchiol Peptides is the brand's plant-based alternative for this time.
