WHO IS THIS FOR

Crystal Retinal is our ‘everyone’ vitamin A. It is renowned for its universal hydrating texture and low-irritation potential, while delivering profound, proven age-defying results.

Extremely sensitive skins should start low on Crystal Retinal 1 (0.01% retinal), with Crystal Retinal 3 (0.03%) best for sensitive skins or for those nervous about using retinal. Most people can start on Crystal Retinal 6 (0.06%) and gradually move up to Crystal Retinal 10 (0.1%) & 20 (0.2%) for clinical-strength results.

RETINAL VS RETINOL

RetinOl is two conversion steps away from active retinoid ‘retinoic acid’, whereas retinAl is just one step away. So you get faster, elevated results.

Retinal improves all of the visible signs of ageing 11 times faster than retinol^[1].

Unlike other forms of vitamin A, our Crystal Retinal formula is suitable for even the most sensitive skins.

Retinal is the only form of vitamin A with antibacterial properties, making it perfect for oily or blemish-prone complexions.

Massage a small amount of Crystal Retinal into the facial, neck and décolleté area in the evenings after cleansing. Allow to absorb before applying your moisturiser.

Start by using Crystal Retinal twice a week for the first two weeks, followed by every other night for the next two weeks, and finally, every night thereafter.

Wear adequate sun protection the morning after using this product, and for an additional week after stopping use. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should consult a doctor before using this product.
