Judicial review is a power never explicitly mentioned in the U.S Constitution.

However, after the landmark case of Marbury V. Madison (1803), Chief Justice John Marshall set the precedent of judicial review, giving the supreme court the power to rule on the constitutionality of a federal law (specifically, the case involved the Judiciary Act of 1789 and the Judiciary Act of 1801). The court, after interpreting Article III Section 1 and Section 2 of the Constitution, believed that the power was implied in the Constitution, and since then, the ruling has not been challenged. Also, the Supreme Court did not rule any state law unconstitutional until Fletcher V. Peck (1810).

What is Informal change to the Constitution?

The term is misleading, however, because the only real way to change the Constitution is the formal procedure involving Congress and the States, as described in Article V. "Informal amendment" isn't amendment at all, it just represents changes to our understanding of the Constitution as expressed through case law in the American common law system.
