Medik8 - Crystal Retinal 10

🧴 Description

Medik8 Crystal Retinal 10 is an advanced nighttime serum formulated with stabilized retinaldehyde (retinal), a next-generation form of vitamin A that delivers visible anti-ageing results significantly faster than traditional retinol. Designed for experienced vitamin A users, this high-strength serum helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and dark spots while improving skin firmness and texture.

Its innovative crystal-encapsulated retinal technology enhances stability and skin absorption while minimizing irritation. Enriched with hyaluronic acid, glycerin, vitamin E, squalane, and nourishing botanical oils, the formula deeply hydrates, plumps, and supports the skin barrier for smoother, healthier-looking skin by morning.
