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...

Use twice a week for the first two weeks, every other night for the next two weeks, then every night. You should use a sunscreen every morning while using vitamin A.

Glowing and hydrated skin
I absolutely love this stuff (despite the eye watering price tag!) It is the best and most hydrating retinol product I have found and I can really see the difference when I am not using it. I really like the smell and it sinks in really easily too.

Really works!
This is expensive, but it’s the first retinol I’ve used where I’ve seen a noticeable difference in fine lines on my forehead. If you can afford, it’s a great product and really nice to use. I got this in last years advent calendar and am trying to justify a repurchase!

Didn't work for me
Was sold by all the amazing reviews but this didn't gel well with my skin.

Medik8 retonate intense
I moved into this after moving up to CR10 - I bought this on special offer and I am enjoying it esp as I don’t need to apply other products which may in the end actually save money - it’s hydrating enough I don’t feel I need moisturiser- I wish I am was able to see how much was left though - as impossible with the packaging

Fantastic
Purchased it when on sale and it certainly didn’t disappoint! Smells amazing and makes the skin ultrasoft. Have not used it long enough to comment on longer term effects but so far I like it a lot.

Probably the best cream I have ever used
I had this in my advent calendar and with so many other products I didn’t get around to using it for a while but wow when I did……it’s remarkable and really made a huge difference to my skin. I really want to make this apart of my everyday routine but alas it is out of my budget at the moment. However it will be the first thing I treat myself to when I have the funds and if it ever comes back into stock. A miracle worker even on my tired to year old skin.

Perfect
Firstly, I really liked the texture of the product: super soft, light, without stickiness and viscosity. Very comfortable. Secondly, in the spring, moisturizing only this cream was enough for my combi skin (I used a toner and this cream). And, of course, the effect! In my opinion, retinol is strong here. For 1.5 months, it brightened, moisturized, and tightened the skin well. Great strong product.

Best retinol
This product is one of the only creams that have made a significant change in the texture of my skin and helped with fine lines and dark spots. When I wake up after wearing it at night my skin is plump and glowing. Price point is very high, but I will say that it is worth it considering how much product you get and the results of frequent usage.

Worth every penny
This cream is way above my normal skincare budget. But having had a sample I discovered how great it is. I have actually switched from a retinal with a higher percentage but get better results and clarity with this. Luckily a little goes a long way so it lasts ages too.

Best retinol ever
It's one of the best Od even the best anti agening cream I have ever used. No irritation, no dryness. The skin is smooth and soft in the morning. Helps to treat irritation and wrinkles. Expensive but worth the hype!
