What is retinol?

Classic retinol (vitamin A), as well as retinaldehyde and retinoic acid, belong to the same family of retinoids, i.e. substances derived from vitamin A. They have an extraordinary effect on the skin, rejuvenating it, acting preventively against its aging, regulating excessive pigmentation and stimulating its renewal at the cellular level. In addition, it also cleans the skin, which acts against acne.

Why is Medik8 Crystal Retinal 11 times faster?

The biologically active form of vitamin A, i.e. the one that acts on the skin, is retinoic acid. Neither retinal nor retinaldehyde are active by themselves, they must first be converted to retinoic acid in the skin. In the case of retinol, there must first be a conversion to retinal and later to retinoic acid, in the case of retinal (retinaldehyde) only one step is needed to convert to this biologically active form. Due to this fact, the effect of retinaldehyde on the skin is 11 times faster than with classic retinol.

Who is the night serum suitable for?

• Youthful skin
• Those who have no experience with vitamin A before
• Those who want to act preventively against skin aging
• Skin that needs protection against external stress

Anti-wrinkle formula

Encapsulated retina (retinaldehyde)

An effective vitamin A derivative that can act up to 11 times faster than conventional forms of retinol, yet remains just as gentle on the skin. Reduces the appearance of P. acnes bacteria responsible for pimples and other acne manifestations. Visibly improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, skin texture and unifies skin tone.

Hyaluronic acid

A highly effective substance that locks moisture into the skin, thus supporting balanced hydration and skin elasticity. It can support up to a thousand times its own weight in water.

Glycerin

One of the skin's natural moisturizing factors and an effective moisturizer that supports the functioning of the skin's natural barrier and prevents transepidermal water loss.

Vitamin C

An antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals formed due to UV radiation in the skin and thus fights against the visible signs of skin aging and hyperpigmentation.

Vitamin E

A powerful antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals that stimulate skin hydration and rejuvenation. Together with vitamin C, they act synergistically and increase their antioxidant effect.

Warning

Do not forget the daily application of a protection product against UV radiation, which you should continue for a week after finishing applying Crystal on the retina. The retinaldehyde contained may increase the skin's sensitivity to sunlight. Products containing vitamin A are not suitable for pregnant and lactating women.
