Precautionary measures

Avoid direct contact with eyes. If product gets into eyes, rinse thoroughly with water. If irritation occurs, discontinue use. If irritation persists, consult a doctor. Use only as directed. Do not apply to broken or inflamed skin. Contains vitamin A, which may increase skin sensitivity to the sun. Avoid sun exposure and wear sunscreen during the day while using this product and for a week afterwards. Use with caution when taking dietary supplements or other products containing vitamin A/retinoids. Consult a doctor before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Patch testing is recommended.

The science behind it

After years of research and experimentation, we cracked the retinal code in 2018 with a unique stabilization discovery. Our enhanced stability system incorporates two formulation techniques. First, we protected the powerful yet fragile molecule with a crystal encapsulation that works to both coat the retinal and slowly release it onto our skin overnight, minimizing potential irritation. We then reinforced this with a patent-pending stabilization formula complex, unique to Medik8, to ensure the retinal is stabilized throughout its entire lifecycle—from raw material to our skin. This means your Crystal Retinal stays potent from the first application to the very last.
