Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3

Description

Rediscover more youthful skin with Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3, Medik8’s latest innovation in anti-ageing skin care.

Formulated with 0.03% Retinal for better results.

This serum cream visibly  does everything Retinol does, only better.

Why Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3?

Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3 Boosts collagen production, brightens the complexion, improves the look of pores and helps improve acne.

Retinal can be more potent and works faster than Retinol because it only needs to undergo one conversion step in the skin to become Retinoic Acid, rather than two.

The more conversion steps in the skin, the less predictable the amount that gets delivered to the skin.

Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3 is a high-strength formulation so that you can maximise the benefits for the skin and achieve visible results without having to switch to a prescription retinoid and experience significant side effects.

Put simply, Retinal sits somewhere between Retinol and prescription Tretinoin.

Retinal has been clinically shown to work faster. It delivers enhanced results, without being any more irritating than Retinol.

Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3 ingredients

The key ingredients are:

Retinal (Retinaldehyde) is  used in an encapsulated form at a concentration of 0.03%. Retinal is an advanced form of Retinal that’s proven to work  up to 11 times faster than Retinol. It’s been found to be effective in improving the look of fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation, uneven tone and rough texture. Retinal also has direct antibacterial properties, which may make it helpful for those prone to breakouts.

Hyaluronic Acid has a unique ability to attract and retain up to 1000 times its own weight in water. This makes skin looks and feel more plump and supple.

Vitamin E is a remarkable and reliable antioxidant that counters free radicals and reduces their ability to damage the skin. It also helps stabilise the Retinal so that it retains its potency longer.

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate is a new generation of Vitamin C that has exceptional stability and better penetration than L’Ascorbic Acid. It provides antioxidant protection against UVB and UVA rays, increases collagen synthesis and reduces melanogenesis in skin cell cultures by more than 80%, meaning it brightens the skin’s appearance.

Glycerin is a natural humectant that traps water in the skin. It helps to hydrate and keep the skin feeling comfortable.

Squalane provides skin-identical hydration and creates a softer, smoother complexion. It  also helps reduce blemish-causing bacteria and keep it clearer.

This retinal is my holy grail. I love it. Gives visible results, is a good price and feels lovely on the skin – not drying like other retinol/retinal products! Can’t wait to work my way up to the higher levels of this!
