Crystal Retinal 20 30ml

Crystal Retinal 20 delivers retinaldehyde at 0.20% concentration — positioned between Crystal Retinal 10 and Crystal Retinal 24 in Medik8's progressive retinaldehyde ladder. Retinaldehyde is one step removed from retinoic acid in the skin's conversion pathway, making it significantly more potent than retinol while remaining available without prescription. This strength is appropriate for patients who have acclimatised to lower retinaldehyde doses and are ready to advance their retinoid programme.

What it does:

• Delivers retinaldehyde at 0.20%, a bioavailable retinoid that converts to retinoic acid directly within the skin, stimulating collagen synthesis and accelerating cell turnover
• Targets fine lines, textural irregularities, and uneven skin tone through consistent retinoic acid pathway activation
• Encapsulated retinaldehyde technology minimises irritation and controls release for better nocturnal skin tolerance
• Formulated with hyaluronic acid and vitamin E to buffer retinoid-related dryness during the adaptation phase

Best for: Patients who have completed a course of Crystal Retinal 10 and are ready to progress their retinoid protocol, targeting deeper lines, significant photodamage, or chronic skin congestion.
