Clinical-grade vitamin A, otherwise known as retinoic acid, is an exceptionally powerful skincare ingredient for youthful-looking skin. Highly potent and wildy efficacious, it helps reduce the visible signs of ageing. Retinoic acid is only available with a prescription, but vitamin A is available over the counter in the form of retinol skincare products. Retinol has similar effects to retinoic acid, however it must first be converted to retinaldehyde and then to retinoic acid to be used by the skin.
Crafted with retinaldehyde, Crystal Retinal 1 requires just one conversion to retinoic acid. This means that it is able to produce results comparable to retinoic acid up to 11 times faster than classic forms of retinol. The advanced active is carefully encapsulated in a crystal structure that is broken down by the skin’s natural enzymes when topically applied. This ensures maximum stability and absorption while allowing the vitamin A active to be released gradually into the skin while you sleep for minimal irritation.
Combined with hydrating hyaluronic acid and skin-soothing vitamin E, Crystal Retinal 1 targets fine lines and wrinkles for smooth and visibly youthful skin. Unlike other forms of vitamin A, retinaldehyde boasts direct, powerful antibacterial properties. This allows it to target acne-causing bacteria; promoting a healthy, visibly clear complexion.

Doesn’t irritate my skin but still works!
I have tried to introduce retinols in the past into my skin care routine and have always found it to flare up my sensitive skin. This has been super gentle and kind to my skin and I am able to use it daily without irritation. Looking forward to moving up to level 3!
After hearing an interview with Daniel Issac’s from Medic8 and he’s advice to go lower strength more consistently rather than higher strength once or twice a week I dropped back to Crystal retinol 1 every night rather than Crystal retinol 3 every other night ..:: my skin is definitely tolerating it much better ….. two weeks in to new regime .
The best retinal on the market!!! My skin is glowing!
This is a very gentle retinal, perfect for people with sensitive skin or those who are just starting out. I use it 3 times a week. I have some clogged pores around my jawline, and I think this product helps push them out a bit — not too much, nothing scary. I actually really like it!
Now I’m planning to move up to the next level, Crystal 3. The brand feels trustworthy and the price is reasonable — not too expensive. I think I’ll keep using retinal from this brand for a long time.
