Achieve your best skin yet with Medik8's most powerful retinaldehyde, Crystal Retinal 20. Exclusively available to the USA on Dermstore. Featuring retinaldehyde (retinal), a next-generation form of vitamin A which is not to be mistaken for the classic form of vitamin A, retinol. In numerous studies, retinal has been demonstrated to be more effective and 11x faster-working than retinol, without any additional irritation.[1,2,3]
The hydrating overnight serum-cream visibly addresses signs of aging; improving the appearance of wrinkles, texture and tone. Potency and optimum power are ensured through a double-layered stabilization system, which includes a crystal encapsulation that releases vitamin A gradually throughout the night, to protect the skin from becoming overwhelmed at any point. Hyaluronic acid and glycerin also feature to moisturize and hydrate skin, minimizing any dryness. The complexion is left visibly smooth and supple.
Crystal Retinal is available in a series of progressive strengths. Crystal Retinal 20 sits at the top of the Crystal Retinal ladder, featuring 0.2% retinal. The powerful serum is exclusively for advanced customers who have comfortably used Crystal Retinal 10 and want to move up on the Crystal Retinal Ladder. It has double the concentration of Medik8's previous highest strength, meaning it has double the power and therefore even faster results. Due to its high concentration of retinal, Crystal Retinal 20 is only available for purchase after an online consultation.

Love it!
I really like using this retinal ! I will definitely be repurchasing it when it gets low! There was no irritation at all n very little peeling the first time I used it ! I’m excited also to try the 2.5 when my skin has fully adapted to this one! Which it pretty much has since the first use! Def recommend this to ppl who have worked their way up already

Powerful Yet Gentle Rentinol
I was so excited when I saw that Medik8 came out with an even stronger version of this serum. I continue to have glowing skin with minimal irritation because of the great formulation here.

Gentle
I’ve tried Tretinoin and just can’t get through the purge. This is non irritating and as close to pure retin A as I am use. I like it. I have very mature, dry skin and this does not cause any additional dryness. This is my second tube of this strength and I will purchase more.

Must have product
This serum has fully changed my skin. I had some fine lines before, nothing crazy but definitely was something I wanted to get rid of. This serum has done exactly that, my forehead is completely smooth, I don’t have smile lines or crows feet, it really has done exactly what I needed and more. If I were to lose every product I own, this would be the first one I would repurchase, worth every penny and can’t recommend enough!

Medik8 Crystal Retinal 20
I have used the Medik8 Crystal Retinal 10 without any side effects and decided to upgrade to the Medik8 Crystal Retinal 20. I have found this to work well on my neck leaving it smooth and firm. However, I find it too harsh for my face causing redness. I will continue to use the amount that I have left on my neck and switch back to the Medik8 Crystal Retinal 10 when finished.

Zero irritation
This is the strongest strength sold by Medik 8 and it has been great. No irritation and smooth bouncy skin.i definitely recommend if you have been using retinol for years. I think I maybe ready for proscription Tretinoin.

Zero irritation, highly effective
Fist off seasoned retinoid user . This was easy to incorporate used nearly ever evening since purchase with zero irritation. So glad to see Retinal at this strength for consumers like me who have enjoyed results from lower strength but hit a plateau and do not want to go down the proscription route.If this is you buy it. New to retinol users it’s a no. Derms always recommend start low and slow. Price is not outrageous bought on sale. Will repurchase.
