Retinoic acid, also known as clinical-grade vitamin A, is a potent ingredient used in skincare to combat visible signs of aging. While it is typically only available by prescription, retinol can be found over the counter and has similar effects. However, retinol must first be converted to retinaldehyde and then to retinoic acid for use on the skin. Medik8 Crystal Retinal 1 utilises retinaldehyde, requiring only one conversion to retinoic acid for highly effective results. Crystal Retinal 1 is designed to provide results comparable to retinoic acid, but up to 11 times faster than traditional retinol forms. Its advanced active ingredient is carefully encapsulated, allowing it to be gradually released into the skin while you sleep, ensuring maximum stability and absorption. This innovative design, combined with hydrating hyaluronic acid and skin-soothing vitamin E, effectively targets fine lines and wrinkles for visibly youthful skin. In addition, its powerful antibacterial properties make it ideal for targeting acne-causing bacteria and promoting a clear complexion.
