Key Benefits:
Retinaldehyde is the star of Crystal Retinal; a next-generation form of vitamin A that is proven to deliver results up to 11x faster than retinol[1]. Yes, this is retinAL, faster-acting than retinol, the classic form of vitamin A.
Uniquely stabilised for optimum potency, Crystal Retinal is clinically proven to provide incredible age-defying results in just one tube: think visibly brighter, firmer and smoother-looking skin.
Direction of use:
Use in the evening. First cleanse, then apply 2 pumps of Crystal Retinal over face and neck. Allow to absorb then follow with a moisturiser. We recommend Advanced Night Restore, designed to be used after vitamin A.
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 in the morning while using vitamin A.
