Find Similar Products to Medik8 Crystal Retinal
Retinaldehyde — the retinol upgrade that's 11x more potent and significantly less irritating.
What makes Medik8 Crystal Retinal distinctive?
Medik8 Crystal Retinal uses retinaldehyde rather than retinol — a different form of vitamin A that converts to retinoic acid (the active form) in one step rather than two, making it approximately 11 times more potent. Critically, Medik8 have formulated it to be significantly less irritating than prescription tretinoin while delivering faster results than over-the-counter retinol. Available in concentrations 1, 3, 6, and 10, it's a rare product that allows genuine dose escalation as the skin adapts.
