  • Retinol 0.2% — this classic form of vitamin A helps to support collagen levels and enhance the skin's natural regenerative cycle, for a more even and youthful-looking complexion.
  • Vitamin E — an antioxidant that helps protect against the ageing effects of free radicals, and helps boost the power of retinol.
  • Dragon fruit extract — derived from the night-blooming cactus of Mexico, it provides antioxidant protection while lifting and toning the complexion.

No artificial fragrance. No synthetic colours. Paraben free. Alcohol free. Vegan Society certified.

How to use

Evening only. Phase it in gradually: twice a week for the first two weeks, every other night for the next two weeks, then every night.

  • After cleansing in the evening, blend evenly across the face, neck and décolletage using upward strokes.
  • No further moisturiser is needed — this is a two-in-one.
  • Always use a sunscreen the morning after using vitamin A.

Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding — Medik8 generally advise avoiding vitamin A at these times, and recommend speaking to your GP or midwife. If you are new to it, patch test at least 24 hours before first use.
