Details: Product Description Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3 30ml - Stable Retinal Night Serum Crystal Retinal takes vitamin A anti-ageing serums to new heights. Featuring retinaldehyde, a next-generation form of vitamin A, not to be confused with the classic form: 'retinol'. In comparison, retinal is one step closer to becoming biologically active, and as a result, is clinically proven to show visible anti-ageing results 11x faster, yet without the irritation.[2][3] Innovation is core to Crystal Retinal; stabilising the notoriously difficult retinal using a patented crystal encapsulation and a patent pending carrot seed complex. The retinal is then released gradually into the skin overnight for minimal irritation. The night time serum visibly minimises signs of premature ageing; plumping and resurfacing the complexion for a smoother skin surface and youthful glow. As well as targeting the signs of ageing, Crystal Retinal also has the ability to help reduce blemish-causing bacteria, to visibly improve the clarity of the skin.[4] Medik8 offers progressive concentrations of Crystal Retinal products which form the Medik8 Crystal Retinal Ladder. Crystal Retinal 3, containing 0.03% retinaldehyde, is where most users start. Medik8 recommends a simple, highly effective anti-ageing strategy of using vitamin C and sunscreen in the morning and vitamin A at night. This strategy is called: CSA.
