Medik8 Crystal Retinal 1-more info
Clinical-grade vitamin A, or retinoic acid, is an exceptionally powerful skincare ingredient for youthful-looking skin. Highly potent and wildly efficacious, it helps reduce the visible signs of ageing. Retinoic acid is only available with a prescription, but vitamin A is available over the counter in retinol skincare products. Retinol has similar effects to retinoic acid, however it must first be converted to retinaldehyde and then to retinoic acid to be used by the skin.
Crafted with retinaldehyde, Crystal Retinal 1 requires just one conversion to retinoic acid. This means it can produce results comparable to retinoic acid up to 11 times faster than classic forms of retinol. The advanced active is carefully encapsulated in a crystal structure that is broken down by the skin’s natural enzymes when topically applied.
This ensures maximum stability and absorption while allowing the vitamin A active to be released gradually into the skin while you sleep for minimal irritation. Combined with hydrating hyaluronic acid and skin-soothing vitamin E, Crystal Retinal 1 targets fine lines and wrinkles for smooth and visibly youthful skin. Retinaldehyde boasts direct, powerful antibacterial properties unlike other forms of vitamin A. This allows it to target acne-causing bacteria; promoting a healthy, visibly clear complexion.
How to use
After cleansing in the evening, massage a small amount of Crystal Retinal 1 across the face, neck and décolletage. Allow to absorb before applying your moisturiser.
Crystal Retinal 1 application should be phased in gradually. Use twice a week for the first two weeks, every other night for the next 2 weeks, then every night. Always wear sunscreen the following morning while using this product, and for one week after. Consult a doctor if breastfeeding or pregnant.
