Are your clients clued up on retinal? If not, then it’s time to educate them on the many skin enhancing benefits of this superior active, otherwise known as retinaldehyde.
Launching in September 2024 and recommended by dermatologists, Medik8 Crystal Retinal 24 is for expert vitamin A users who have previously used at least one tube of CR20 before powering up, and are looking for the best in clinically proven, age defying results in just one tube.
Featuring the brand’s highest strength retinal yet and one of the highest concentrations of retinal in the skincare market , Crystal Retinal 24 is the pinnacle of Medik8’s progressive ladder of Crystal Retinal strengths.
Promising stronger, faster wrinkle reduction, it contains 0.24% crystal-encapsulated retinal which is clinically proven to act 11 times faster than retinol, visibly smoothing, brightening and firming skin, with no prescription required.
There is no need to worry about excessive downtime either—the dermatologically and clinically tested, fragrance free formulation combined with industry leading encapsulation technology ensures gentle, yet powerful results with minimal irritation.
Featuring high quality, ‘considered’ ingredients, Crystal Retinal 24 is also certified by The Vegan Society, while Medik8 is committed to ethical business, 100% sustainable energy and a better packaging promise.
Crystal Retinal 24 can be used in conjunction with exfoliating acid products, if the customer is a long-term Crystal Retinal customer who has built up a tolerance to high-strength retinal already.
If there are any concerns, it is recommend to re-phase in exfoliating acids along with Crystal Retinal 24. Crystal Retinal 24 can be used in the summer months, as long as a high protection sunscreen such as Advanced Day Ultimate Protect is used in the daytime every day while using Crystal Retinal.

Why is Crystal Retinal an industry game changer?
Crystal Retinal is the serum that reinvented retinoid skincare—it’s formulated with retinaldehyde, a super-charged derivative of vitamin A that delivers fast, youth boosting results, and an ingredient you need to prioritise in your regime. Our patented retinal stabilisation technology ensures optimal potency, increasing skin cell turnover, helping to even out skin texture, and supporting skin’s collagen production to visibly improve fine lines and wrinkles, while remaining gentle on the skin. It works 11 times faster than traditional retinol and is less irritating, meaning you can have a more potent product, without compromising skin’s comfort or the skin barrier—you’re not going to get any of that peeling or dryness typically associated with retinol.
How will this product benefit aesthetic practitioners and dermatologists?
Crystal Retinal is the closest thing to prescription-strength retinoic acid, without needing a prescription. It’s a great alternative to over-the-counter products which can be good for the short-term, but Crystal Retinal is formulated to care for
the skin long-term with similar benefits. Retinal also boasts direct antibacterial action, making it the ideal ingredient for acne-prone skin, often diagnosed and treated in clinic.
Who is the product best suited to and why?
Crystal Retinal is known as the ‘everyone’ vitamin A as it delivers remarkable results without the prescription or irritation. All skin types and tones can comfortably incorporate it into their regime, including the most sensitive of skin types.
Any tips or advice for getting the best out of the product?
Start low and go slow. When introducing any retinoid into your regime, you should phase the product in gradually so as not to overwhelm the skin. Use twice a week for the first two weeks, every other night for the next two weeks, then every night. Always start with a low strength and once skin has built up a tolerance, move on to a higher strength. Cushion it with a hydrating night cream and don’t forget to apply sunscreen the morning after, as vitamin A can make the skin more sensitive to UV rays.
