As with any vitamin A product, especially if your skin is sensitive, it’s best to gradually introduce it, perhaps twice a week, a couple of days apart. Always avoid the eye area and always using an SPF in the morning after applying this the night before. Discover youthful skin with Medik8 Crystal Retinal, the ground-breaking serum that reinvented vitamin A skincare. Featuring retinaldehyde, the next-generation retinoid that is 11x faster acting than retinol [1], now available in a series of 5 progressive strengths to accompany you on your journey to Beautiful Skin For Life. A light sweep of a direct acid or hydrating toner can help other active ingredients in your regime to penetrate better into the skin. See our range of Toners here. Experience the power of next-generation exfoliating polyhydroxy acids (PHAs) with Press & Glow; the hydrating acid toner that helps to exfoliate the surface of the complexion for a noticeable everyday glow.

Unlike other forms of vitamin A, our Crystal Retinal formula is suitable for even the most sensitive skins.Balance is key when it comes to exfoliation; overuse of powerful exfoliating acids everyday can often lead to sensitisation of the skin and premature skin ageing. PHAs are made up of larger molecules than other exfoliating acids, meaning they do not penetrate into the skin as deeply and instead work on the surface of the skin. This makes PHAs the perfect match for those with sensitive skin, who want to achieve true daily exfoliation while keeping their skin barrier healthy. WHO IS THIS FOR Crystal Retinal is our ‘everyone’ vitamin A. It is renowned for its universal hydrating texture and low-irritation potential, while delivering profound, proven age-defying results. A cult-favourite, this vitamin C serum has been hailed by shoppers as 'magic in a bottle'. The silky jojoba oil-infused serum is gentle on the skin and works to effortlessly give skin a boost of radiance, promoting a visible healthy glow in as little as seven days - as proven by trials. Boasting a healthy dose of vitamin C and C-Tetra, this formula helps to minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time, resulting in brighter, more balanced and younger-looking skin - which is always a win. Their CSA philosophy is based on a simple approach to skincare – CSA stands for using vitamin C and Sunscreen during day and vitamin A in the evening.
