Medik 8 Crystal Retinal 6

Serum with gradual release vitamin A technology

Conversion is inevitable

Retinol is one of the most popular anti-wrinkle substances. It promotes collagen production and rejuvenates at the cellular level. However, in order for it to act in this way, it must be converted in the body into retinaldehyde and, in the next step, into retinoic acid.

In 2018, CRYSTAL RETINAL 6 won the Cosmopolitan magazine award for the best anti-aging product. In 2024, CRYSTAL RETINAL 6 became the best serum in the Cosmopolitan Beauty Awards!

Anti-wrinkle night serum

CRYSTAL RETINAL 6 Night Serum contains retinaldehyde directly, so it is only one step away from having a direct effect on skin cells, not two as in the case of retinol. Meet the next generation of skincare based on vitamin A content, developed by scientists at the University of Hertfordshire. Within just one month of regular use, skin is visibly rejuvenated with renewed contours and a radiant appearance.

Duo for hydration

Hyaluronic Acid:
A highly effective ingredient that locks moisture in the skin, promoting balanced hydration and skin elasticity. It can hold up to a thousand times its own weight in water.

Glycerin:
One of the skin’s natural moisturizing factors and an effective humectant that promotes the functioning of the skin’s natural barrier and prevents transepidermal water loss.

Essential antioxidation

Vitamin C:
An antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals that form in the skin due to UV rays, thus combating the appearance of visible signs of skin aging and excessive pigmentation

Vitamin E:
A powerful free radical neutralizing antioxidant that stimulates skin hydration and rejuvenation. Together with vitamin C, it acts synergistically and increases its antioxidant effect.

Night care for three months

• After evening cleansing, apply a small amount to the skin and décolleté before applying a traditional moisturizer. As with retinol products, apply gradually and allow the skin to get used to it. Apply twice a week for the first two weeks and every other day for the following two weeks. After a month, you can apply daily.
• 30 ml pack for up to 100 applications
• In case of pregnancy or breastfeeding, consult a doctor for use.

Protect your skin from UV rays

Don’t forget to apply a daily UV protection product, which you should continue for a week after the CRYSTAL RETINAL application. The retinaldehyde contained may increase the skin’s sensitivity to the sun’s rays.

Please note: Products containing vitamin A are not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
