Key ingredients
Retinaldehyde
Proven to work up to 11 times faster than standard retinol,* retinaldehyde (retinal for short) is a revolutionary form of vitamin A that effectively targets the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, uneven skin texture and loss of firmness - without irritation.
Hyaluronic Acid
With the ability to attract and retain more than 1,000 times its own weight in water, hyaluronic acid draws moisture into the upper layers of the skin; leaving the complexion hydrated and visibly supple.
Vitamin E
A powerful antioxidant that provides additional antioxidant protection against the ageing effects of free radicals. It also helps to boost the power of vitamin C for optimum visible results.
Glycerin
A natural humectant which traps moisture within the skin to leave it hydrated and comfortable.
How to use
Step 1
After cleansing in the evening, apply 2 pumps of Crystal Retinal to the face and neck. Allow to absorb then follow with a moisturiser. We recommend Advanced Night Restore which is specifically designed to be used after vitamin A.
Step 2
For new users of Crystal Retinal, phase application in gradually. Use twice a week for the first 2 weeks, every other night for the next 2 weeks, then every night. You should always use a sunscreen the next morning after using vitamin A.
FAQ
How do I use Crystal Retinal 20?
Start by using 2-3 times per week in the evening on clean, dry skin. Gradually increase frequency as your skin builds tolerance. Always follow with moisturiser and use SPF during the day.
What does retinol do and is it right for me?
Retinol (vitamin A) accelerates cell turnover, stimulates collagen production, and helps reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone. It is suitable for most adults looking to address signs of ageing or acne, but should be introduced gradually. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before use.
Can I use this with other active ingredients?
Retinol can be sensitising, so avoid layering it with AHAs, BHAs, or vitamin C in the same routine. Use retinol in the evening and vitamin C in the morning. Hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and ceramides pair well with retinol and help buffer any irritation.
At what age should I start using anti-ageing products?
Prevention is easier than correction. Most dermatologists recommend starting a basic anti-ageing routine (antioxidants, SPF, and a gentle retinol) in your mid-to-late twenties. However, it is never too late to start — the skin responds to active ingredients at any age.
