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...

Effective
I received this in the Cult Beauty Advent Calendar 2022 and was excited to try as I love Medik8 retinal products. This is effective and I wake up to soft and smooth skin but it’s not life changing or anything to justify the price point.

Expensive but worth every penny
I got a free sample of this product in a CB goody bag. I've been using Sunday Riley's A+ for a couple months but wasn't noticing much improvement in the fine lines around my eyes. I used this product just three times and noticed a dramatic improvement. I've now bought a second bottle because this stuff is worth every penny!

Strong
I received this in the CB advent calendar and this is a strong retinol. It did break me out a bit, but I think with some persistence it will help my complexion.

doesn't get better than this
My skin loves this. I've used it every other day and have had no issues with redness or irritation. My skin looks and feels lovely. I got this product in the advent calendar and if money was no object I would happily repurchase but unfortunately will have to go back to cheaper products once it's empty

Excellent
Another product that I received with the Cult Beauty advent calendar, wow, blown away by this. I have very sensitive skin so was a little nervous but this did not irritate at all. Very pleased with the results, super hydrated and plumped skin. Its a yes from me. Medik8 have got this right, its a very good product and results are highly impressive.

Great retinol
I’ve only been using this a few nights now. So far, haven’t caused any reactions to my skin, which is great, as usually retinol can be quite strong for me. Early days yet as to wether it works. But nice product.

Amazing!!!
I´m an experienced retinol user and have tried many of the "high profile" retinols during the years (Drunk Elephant, Sunday Riley, Shani Darden, Paulas Choice, Murad, Oridinary retinols, and Crystal Retinal by Medik 8). I received a sample of R-RETINOATE INTENSE 15ML with the recent advent calendar. I honestly did not expect any other results than I have previously observed with retinoids. Long story short, I saw amazing results after 2 day use. My skin has never been better. It´s more firm, more even and much more bright. Whatever they are putting in this cream, it´s working! This product is crazy expensive but I will purchase the full size nonetheless!! Just WOW!
