The Expert Strength 

Crystal Retinal 24 is Medik8’s expert-level retinal treatment, designed for clients who have already worked their way through the lower Crystal Retinal strengths and have built up a strong tolerance to vitamin A.

This is not a product I recommend starting with. I only recommend Crystal Retinal 24 to clients whose skin I have seen and who have successfully used the lower Crystal Retinal strengths and worked their way up.

I want to make sure your skin is ready before moving you onto something this advanced.

Retinal is a powerful form of vitamin A that helps support smoother, firmer, brighter and more even-looking skin, while targeting concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation and uneven texture.

Emma’s Recommendation 

If you have worked your way through the Crystal Retinal range with me and your skin is happy, Crystal Retinal 24 can be the next step in your routine.

If you have not bought Crystal Retinal from me before, I will message you before processing your order. I just want to check what strength you are currently using and make sure this is the right progression for your skin.

You can purchase Crystal Retinal 24 through my online shop, which also means you can spread the cost if needed or order in advance so I can make sure I have your strength ready for you to collect from the clinic.

Emma’s Tip 

Please don't be tempted to skip the lower strengths! With vitamin A, stronger isn't always better. Building your tolerance gradually is what helps you get the benefits while keeping your skin barrier happy.

If your skin becomes dry, sore, tight or irritated, listen to it — step back and concentrate on barrier support before increasing your retinal again.

And as always, SPF every morning is non-negotiable.
