Medik 8 Crystal Retinal 10

Enjoy visible anti-aging and wrinkle reduction during the night with CRYSTAL RETINAL 10, an ultra-potent vitamin A night serum that contains a unique retinaldehyde in a 0.1% concentration.

Stronger than retinol

Do you love retinol and do not like night anti-wrinkle serums containing it? Or do you feel that classic retinol no longer has the desired effect you expect? The answer for your skin is this serum from the new generation of skin care with vitamin A, CRYSTAL RETINAL 10.

One step away from rejuvenation

Retinol itself is not active in the skin and therefore, in order for changes to occur at the cellular level, it must be converted to retinaldehyde and then to retinoic acid, which already affects skin cells in its active form. The action of retinol therefore requires two conversion steps. The retinaldehyde contained in CRYSTAL RETINAL 10 is only one step away from retinoic acid, so its effectiveness is faster and higher.

Packed with the most effective substances

Retinal / retinaldehyde:
An effective derivative of vitamin A that can act up to 11 times faster than conventional forms of retinol, yet remains just as gentle on the skin. Reduces the P. acnes bacteria responsible for pimples and other acne symptoms. Visibly improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, skin texture and evens skin tone.

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.

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

Vitamin E:
A powerful free radical neutralizing antioxidant that stimulates hydration and skin rejuvenation. Together with vitamin C, they act synergistically and increase their antioxidant effect.

Anti-wrinkle night serum

• 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.
