THE MEDIK8 SOLUTION - CRYSTAL CONFIDENCE
Not All Retinals Are Created Equal. Discover how Crystal Retinal delivers unmatched age-defying results.
PROGRESSIVE STRENGTHS
Exclusive to Medik8, their unique ladder of 6 strengths means there’s a strength for everyone and you can experience continued visible benefits as your skin builds up tolerance. 83% agree their results improved as they moved up the Crystal Retinal ladder[2]
The lower strengths (1-3) are designed for sensitive skins or those who are new to vitamin A, while the higher strengths (6-24) give more experienced vitamin A users the opportunity to intensify their visible age defying results over time.
For those who are new to retinoids (or new to higher strengths), the skin can take time to adjust. Retinoids cause the skin cells to renew themselves quickly and it can take time for the skin to catch up as well as to build up tolerance. The unique Crystal Retinal ladder was developed to help the skin gradually acclimatise to reap the maximum benefits of retinoids, while remaining comfortable with the skin barrier intact. Start low and slow, and work up the ladder over time to achieve professional-grade results.
PATENTED STABILITY
The problem with many powerful ingredients in skincare is that they can be incredibly unstable - meaning they can lose their power over time. What might be labelled as a 1% active formula, could actually only be 0.0000001% active if it has degraded in air or sunlight and lost its potency.
Stabilisation in formulations is crucial for delivering and maintaining visible results on the skin. Crystal Retinal combines 3 key layers of patented stabilisation technology - only available at Medik8 - for powerful age-defying results, without irritation.
First, the powerful yet fragile retinal molecule is protected by a crystal encapsulation system that works to blanket the retinal, retaining its power and ensuring it’s gently released into the skin throughout the night to minimise potential irritation.
The formula is then reinforced with a unique patented stabilisation complex, based on the protective power of carrot seed oil. This ensures the retinal is stabilised and highly effective throughout its entire life cycle - from raw material until it reaches the skin.
Finally, the formula and its stability system are enclosed within an airless, aluminium lined tube which protects against the degrading effects of oxygen, heat and light. The final result? Market-leading retinal stability that delivers results that continue to be effective. Medik8’s internationally patented stability system ensures maximum retinal potency and effectiveness until the very last drop. All this without sensitivity, thanks to industry-leading encapsulation technology which delivers gentle yet powerful results.
