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...

After cleansing in the evening, massage two pumps evenly across face, neck and décolletage. This product should be phased in gradually as it contains retinal. 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.

A 'proof point' with a green tick means a third party has verified the accuracy of the statement whereas no green tick means that there isn't independent confirmation (yet!), but that the brand has still supplied substantiating evidence (which you can view yourself).

I love this
I've used this the past few weeks since getting it in the advent calendar. I love it. My skin feels so plump and soft after I use it. It feels like a real treat before bed.

Better than botox.
Makes my lines disappear! Love this but just dont put it near the eyes. The skin is far too thin and cant handle it. No redness overall just clear glowing skin the next morning. Defo buying again.

The best over the counter high potency retinol
This product is effective, my skin loves it. If you use this have a good/rich moisturiser on hand because it can cause overall dryness or dry patches.

AMAZING
I have really sensitive skin and I always have some dry patches! However this has honestly made such a difference, it's not harsh, it smells amazing too and it absorbs so nice! Would definitely recommend

It feels lovely going on and overnight it works wonders
I got this in the advent calendar and have been saving it, because I already love Medik8. It feels like luxury, it caused me no irritation or tingling. The next day my skin still felt comfortable and soft and nice and hydrated. It also smells nice and I like its orangey colour- you can feel it doing good on your face.

Great for acne scars
I was lucky to have received this in the advent calendar. This has dramatically reduced my acne scars. Please be patient with this product, you will break out first as the retinol increases the skill cell turnover rate. I definitely recommend that you pair this with a hyaluronic based cream as your skin will dry out.

Powerful and effective
Using in the evening and at first had a mini breakout as the creme is quite heavy, but soon cleared. After 2 weeks still feeling tingling for 10 mins or so. The effect is great. Keeps my skin clear of spots and lines and wrinkles are gone. No dryness, nor adverse reaction. Have bought my second bottle as do not want to be without.
