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...

Highly recommended
I’d been using medik8 0.6 retinol with a night cream then tried this free gift and was converted immediately. Best my skin has ever looked and I get compliments regularly It’s expensive I know but worth it and you don’t need 2 separate products.

Satisfied
I am 40 and as retinol hasn't been my usual routine I wanted to try this intense one. Never had any reactions and it's keeping my skin tight and even pores seem smaller. Glad I didn't have to work up to use this one. I haven't been using this everyday but every 2 to 3 days. My intention is to use it daily at some point. I already have a backup waiting... yes I like this! Just note this is a 15ml not 30ml.

Great product that delivers results!
I received this in the 2022 advent calendar as was curious to see the results as i have loved other products from this brand. Lovely texture and didn't irritate my skin at all. Skin was lovely and soft and clearer after finishing the tube however not sure if i could justify the hefty price tag for continued use and maybe other retinols out there that could be just as effective for a fraction of the price. The hunt is on!

This works
I received this in my Advent Calendar and was so impressed I have just repurchased. I did have to think twice as this is a very expensive product but the change in my skin since using is really noticeable. Fine lines have definitely disappeared/ decreased and overall my skin looks much smoother/ younger! I managed to by with a discount and use of my points to make is more affordable. The only negative is the high price.

Great, but pricey
Medik8 retinol creams are among the effective creams on the market. I enjoyed use Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3 and wanted to try something even more advanced. This cream works great. I have only one complaint - the price is high.

Noticeable difference
This product has made my skin noticeably better - appears plumper and looks more fresh overall. No irritation has ever occurred and I have quite sensative skin. Will definitely repurchase.

Lovely retinol
This is a lovely product. No redness or irritation whatsoever. Only been using for a couple of weeks but impressed so far and looking forward to seeing even more skin improvements.

Great retinol cream
What I love about this products is that it is gentle, yet powerful and it is a cream, so you don't have to apply anything on top of it. I have used different retinol products, from different brands and it is no more irritating, I would say even less irritating than some of the products containing less potent forms of retinol. Of course you have to phase it out, I use it every three days. It is expensive, but if you can afford it, I think it is worthed.

Great product
I received this in the cult beauty advent calendar and decided to purchase as I was impressed with the results. The only downside is the cost, but luckily I was able to purchase as part of a promotion. I would highly recommend.

Excellent product
I received this in the cult beauty advent calendar and decided to purchase as I was pleased with my results. The downside is the cost and the quantity you receive for the price. Luckily I was able to purchase during an offer. You can’t really go wrong with medik8.
