  1. Retinol has similar effects to retinoic acid, however it must first be converted to retinaldehyde and then to retinoic acid to be used by the skin. Crafted with retinaldehyde,
  2. Crystal Retinal requires just one conversion to retinoic acid. This means that it is able to produce results comparable to retinoic acid up to 11 times faster than classic forms of retinol.[1] The advanced active is carefully encapsulated in a crystal structure that is broken down by the skin’s natural enzymes when topically applied. This ensures maximum stability and absorption while allowing the vitamin A active to be released gradually into the skin while you sleep for minimal irritation.[1]  G. Seigenthaler et al., Biochemical Journal, 1990, 268, pp 371-378 
  3. Combined with hydrating hyaluronic acid and skin-soothing vitamin E, Crystal Retinal targets fine lines and wrinkles for smooth and visibly youthful skin. Unlike other forms of vitamin A, retinaldehyde boasts direct, powerful antibacterial properties. This allows it to target acne-causing bacteria; promoting a healthy, visibly clear complexion.
  1. After cleansing in the evening, massage a small amount of Crystal Retinal across the face, neck and décolletage.
  2. Allow to absorb before applying your moisturiser. Crystal Retinal application should be phased in gradually, and only use in the evening.
  3.  Use twice a week for the first 2 weeks, every other night for the next 2 weeks, then every night.
  4. Always wear sunscreen the following morning while using this product, and for 1 week after. Consult a doctor if breastfeeding or pregnant.
Encapsulated Retinaldehyde

Proven to work up to 11 times faster than retinolretinaldehyde is a revolutionary new form of vitamin A that targets fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation and uneven skin texture.

​Hyaluronic Acid

With a unique ability to attract and retain more than 1,000 times its own weight in water, hyaluronic acid draws moisture from the surrounding atmosphere into the skin, leaving the complexion feeling both nourished and supple.

​Vitamin E

An oil-soluble antioxidant, vitamin E can quench free radicals on the skin while stabilising retinaldehyde for optimal power.

Glycerin

As a natural humectant, glycerin traps water within the skin to leave it hydrated and comfortable.
