      First-Time Use

      If you're new to Crystal Retinal we recommend a patch test at least 24 hours before first use. Learn how to patch test here.

      Phase application in gradually. Use twice a week for the first 2 weeks, every other night for the next 2 weeks, then every night.

      Step 1

      After cleansing in the evening, apply 2 pumps of Crystal Retinal to the face and neck. Allow to absorb.

      Step 2

      Follow with a moisturizer. We recommend Advanced Night Ceramide which is specifically designed to be used after vitamin A (retinoids).

      Step 3

      You should always use a sunscreen the next morning after using vitamin A.

      Key Ingredients

      Retinaldehyde

      Proven to work up to 11x faster than standard retinol,[1] retinaldehyde (retinal for short) is a revolutionary retinoid that effectively targets the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, dark spots, uneven skin texture and loss of firmness - without irritation.

      Vitamin E

      A powerful antioxidant that's naturally present in the skin, Vitamin E works to nourish the complexion.

      Hyaluronic Acid

      With a unique ability to attract and retain more than 1,000 times its own weight in water, hyaluronic acid draws moisture into the skin. This leaves the complexion visibly nourished and supple.

      Glycerin

      A natural humectant which traps moisture within the skin to leave it hydrated and comfortable.
