Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3 | For the Beginner - age-defying results with Crystal Retinal's 6 progressive strengths

Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3 is part of Medik8's innovative Crystal Retinal ladder, a unique ladder of six progressive strengths (0.01 - 0.2%) to ensure optimal results at every level of your retinaldehyde journey. Available in six strengths, you can acclimatise your skin gradually to obtain the results you desire without stress or irritation. In this way, if you have sensitive skin, you can continue your retinal journey with Retinal 3 and progress over time to Retinal 24 graduating to higher strengths at your own pace. This age-defying night serum works up to eleven times faster than traditional retinol, targeting fine lines, uneven tone, and surface texture while remaining gentle on sensitive skin. Encapsulated delivery ensures stable retinal action through the night, revealing smoother, plumped, more radiant skin by morning.
