K1: How often should I use Crystal Retinal 1?
V: You should introduce this product gradually. For the first two weeks, apply it only every third night. You can then move to every other night, and eventually every night as your skin builds tolerance. Always listen to your skin.
K2: Is Crystal Retinal 1 suitable for sensitive skin?
V: Yes, Crystal Retinal 1 is specifically formulated with a gentle 0.01% concentration of retinaldehyde, making it ideal for very sensitive skin or for those who are first-time users of vitamin A.
K3: What is the difference between Retinal (Retinaldehyde) and Retinol?
V: Retinaldehyde (Retinal) is a more advanced form of vitamin A. According to Medik8, it works up to 11 times faster than traditional retinol because it is closer to Retinoic Acid, the form of vitamin A the skin can actually use. This allows for faster, more potent results.
K4: Can I use this product if I have acne-prone skin?
V: Yes, Crystal Retinal 1 is well-suited for blemish-prone skin. Retinaldehyde has antibacterial properties that help to reduce the bacteria responsible for causing breakouts, helping to clear and prevent blemishes.
K5: Do I need to use sunscreen with this product?
V: Yes, it is essential. All vitamin A products, including Crystal Retinal 1, accelerate cell renewal, which can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen in the morning.
After cleansing in the evening, apply 2 pumps to the face and neck. Allow to absorb before applying your moisturizer. Use gradually: every 3rd night for 2 weeks, then every other night. Always use sunscreen in the morning.
