Making skin care simple, Medik8 takes the fuss out of caring for your complexion. Powered by three key ingredients: vitamin C, vitamin A and non-negotiable SPF, the brand's signature skin care saviours are famed for their potent potions. Introducing the r-Retinoate Intense (50ml), a nighttime serum and cream hybrid that delivers firmer, smoother and brighter-looking skin.
On the hunt for an all-in-one nighttime skin care staple? Enter Medik8's multi-tasking r-Retinoate Intense (50ml).
Formulated with the brand's exclusive encapsulated retinyl retinoate (an ingredient more powerful than standard retinol) and patented crystal-stabilised retinal (11x faster than retinol), this evening staple acts as a treatment. How? By reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and dark spots all while firming your complexion. It then calls on hydrating hyaluronic acid replacing the role of your serum and a ceramide complex which steps in as your nourishing cream. Cue a youthful-looking glow...

Super expensive but worth it!
I struggled for years using retinols and prescription tretinoin on and off and not being able to tolerate it. Then I received this in the cult beauty advent calendar and I was blown away. I was initially shocked when I went to purchase it and saw how much it was. However, I took the plunge on a full size and was not disappointed. My sensitive, rosacea prone skin hasn't had any peeling, redness or stinging like I have previously experienced with tretinoin yet I’ve had just as good if not better results with this.

Love it but not the price
I love this and has made huge improvements to the texture of my skin, my wrinkles look less obvious and love it so much just the price point that I don’t know if I can buy again but probably will because it’s amazing ! You get what you pay for

Just what I was looking for!
Great texture, feels comfortable and lovely to use, no irritation. Bright clear skin! I can't quite believe what I paid for it now as I'd forgotten how expensive it was but I will have to buy it again as it does work!

Pricey but worth it
Have to take a deep breath when purchasing this as it is really expensive but the price tag is worth it in my opinion. I use two pumps every other night and i definitely see a difference. My skin is brighter, smoother and acne scars around my chin area are fading. Doesn’t give me dry flakey patches like other retinols either

Great product!
Feels great on skin, great scent, no irritation whatsoever, the only downside is the price. Haven’t used it very long, but I’ll probably repurchase.

It’s great
Used it for some time now and I have no complaints regarding performance! The only thing is the packaging is slightly annoying to store with the rest of my stuff but I can look past it
