  • Encapsulated retinyl retinoate — Medik8's exclusive vitamin A molecule, encapsulated so it releases steadily. Medik8 report it as 8x more powerful than classic retinol.
  • 7% stabilised vitamin C (tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate) — a low-irritation form that provides antioxidant protection and supports collagen production.
  • Hyaluronic acid — attracts and retains water in the skin, keeping it plump and hydrated.
  • Vitamin E — an antioxidant that helps protect against the ageing effects of free radicals.

Paraben free, alcohol free, no artificial fragrance and no synthetic colours.

How to use

After cleansing, morning and/or evening.

  • Massage 2 pumps across the face, neck and décolletage.
  • It can be used both morning and night.
  • Always wear a sunscreen in the morning while you are using vitamin A.

Patch test 24 hours before first use, then phase it in: twice weekly for two weeks, every other day for two weeks, then daily. Medik8 recommend avoiding vitamin A while pregnant or breastfeeding — speak to your GP or midwife first.
