Crystal Retinal

You should apply Crystal Retinal as part of your evening skincare regimen - after cleanser, toner and serums, but before your moisturizer.

As long as you build your use up gradually and start with the appropriate strength to begin with,you can use Crystal Retinal every night. For new users of Crystal Retinal, we strongly recommendthat you phase-in application to enable your skin to build up a tolerance while avoiding anypotential irritation. Use twice a week for the first two weeks, every other night for the following two weeks, then every night.

As a cosmetics company, we are unable to provide product advice in relation to medicalconditions such as pregnancy or breastfeeding. We strongly recommend discussing theingredients with your physician or obstetrician before use. We do, however, generally recommendavoiding vitamin A use while pregnant or breastfeeding, which is why we offer a plant-based vitamin A alternative - Bakuchiol Peptides.

We do recommend applying a moisturizer after vitamin A. Our bestselling night cream, Advanced Night Ceramide, is specifically designed to be used following retinoid use. It helps to boost the visible age-defying benefits of retinoids while maintaining optimal comfort.

We don't recommend using Crystal Retinal directly around the eye area due to its very delicatenature. However, that's exactly why we've created Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye. It boasts all ofthe renowned age-defying power of our original Crystal Retinal, but is expertly optimized for specific use on the delicate eye area.

We recommend using vitamin C alongside Crystal Retinal (vitamin A) as per our Vitamin C + Astrategy. This simple yet clinically proven skincare approach champions vitamin C by day, vitaminA (retinoids) by night as the secret to youthful, glowing skin. After cleansing in the morning, apply your vitamin C serum (such as C- Tetra Luxe). After cleansing in the evening, apply Crystal Retinal

The bright peachy tone of Crystal Retinal 20 and Crystal Retinal 24 is a combination of thenatural yellow color of the retinal, and some natural extracts which shift the color from yellow to amore peachy tone. Crystal Retinal 20 and Crystal Retinal 24 are brighter than the lower strengths of Crystal Retinal due to their higher concentration of retinal.

Crystal Retinal is designed for nighttime use, followed by a nighttime moisturizer (such asAdvanced Night Ceramide). The higher strengths may leave skin with a slightly peachy tint. However, when blended under a night cream, this is less visible.

Crystal Retinal's peachy tone gets more intense as you go up the ladder and may create apeachy tone on the face or potentially transfer onto bed sheets. Color left on bedsheets can bemitigated by allowing Crystal Retinal to absorb fully and dry before making contact with light-colored fabrics (such as pajamas, bedding, or pillows). We would also recommend applying amoisturizer over the top of Crystal Retinal 20 / Crystal Retinal 24 to seal it in. If sheets are leftwith color on them, wash at 30 degrees and leave to dry in the sunlight retinal degrades in thesun which helps the color to quickly fade away.
