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.

Phase-In
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.

​​​​ Retinaldehyde
Proven to work up to 11 times faster than retinol[1], retinaldehyde is a revolutionary new form of vitamin A that targets the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and uneven skin texture.
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 feeling hydrated. ​​​
​​Glycerin
As a natural humectant, glycerin traps water within the skin to leave it hydrated and comfortable. ​​​​
Vitamin E
An oil-soluble antioxidant, vitamin E can quench free radicals on the skin while stabilizing retinaldehyde for optimal power.
