Medik8 Crystal Retinal 6, 30ml Description

Product description Medik8 Crystal Retinal 6 30ml Stable Retinal Night Serum Super-Strength Vitamin A - Crystal Retinal takes vitamin A anti-ageing serums to new heights. Featuring retinaldehyde, a next-generation form of vitamin A, not to be confused with the classic form: 'retinol'. In comparison, retinal is one step closer to becoming biologically active, and as a result, is clinically proven to show visible anti-ageing results 11x faster, yet without the irritation.[2][3] Innovation is core to Crystal Retinal, stabilising the notoriously difficult retinal using a patented crystal encapsulation and a patent pending carrot seed complex. The retinal is then released gradually into the skin overnight, for minimal irritation. As well as targeting the signs of ageing, Crystal Retinal also has the ability to help reduce blemish-causing bacteria, to visibly improve the clarity of the skin.[4] Medik8 offers progressive concentrations of Crystal Retinal products which form the Medik8 Crystal Retinal Ladder. Crystal Retinal 6, containing 0.06% retinaldehyde, is recommended for those who have comfortably used Crystal Retinal 3, or experienced users of high strength retinol products. Medik8 recommends a simple, highly effective anti-ageing strategy of using vitamin C and sunscreen in the morning and vitamin A at night. This strategy is called: CSA.
