Medik8 Crystal Retinal 24

Medik8, a leader in retinoid innovation, has just launched Crystal Retinal 24, its most potent non-prescription retinaldehyde serum to date. This new addition to the Crystal Retinal range boasts an impressive 0.24% retinaldehyde, which is clinically proven to act 11 times faster than standard retinol. The new product promises to deliver visible wrinkle reduction, skin brightening, and firming—ideal for users seeking the highest anti-aging benefits without requiring a prescription.

The launch of Crystal Retinal 24 is designed for experienced vitamin A users who have already used Crystal Retinal 20 and are ready to take their skincare to the next level. This serum is part of Medik8’s signature Crystal Retinal Ladder, which offers progressive strengths, allowing users to gradually increase their retinal concentration for maximum benefits without irritation.

Medik8 Global Ambassador, Dr. Dendy Engelman, emphasized that the new product provides "results without compromise," addressing the rising issues of skin barrier damage caused by the overuse of stronger retinoids like tretinoin. Medik8's patented stabilisation technology ensures the retinaldehyde remains powerful yet gentle on the skin, preventing the irritation commonly associated with high-strength retinoids.

In terms of product stability, Crystal Retinal 24 is protected by Medik8’s advanced encapsulation and stabilisation systems. This three-layer system ensures that the retinaldehyde remains stable throughout its lifecycle, delivering effective results down to the last drop.

As Chief Product Officer Daniel Isaacs puts it: "The score itself indicates that we have made significant progress, but also that there is more work to be done. With a continued focus on ongoing improvements, we will take further actions and carry out activities that contribute to a friendlier future for nature, wildlife, and humanity."

The Crystal Retinal 24 is available now at Medik8.
