Overview
Medik8 Crystal Retinal 1 is an overnight facial serum that uses retinaldehyde to target fine lines, uneven texture and loss of firmness. It suits those who want vitamin A benefits with a gentler introduction than classic retinol, especially if skin is new to stronger actives. The peach-toned serum-cream format is designed for evening use on face, neck and chest.
Key benefits
- Helps soften the look of fine lines and wrinkles overnight
- Supports a clearer, more even-looking complexion
- Delivers hydration while the formula absorbs smoothly
- Leaves skin feeling firmer and more comfortable by morning
- Offers a mild vanilla and tonka scent without heavy fragrance overload
- Built for gradual evening use to ease skin into retinal

An antioxidant that helps protect the skin surface and supports the stability of the retinaldehyde.
A humectant that binds water into the skin so it stays hydrated and less tight overnight.
