r-Retinoate® Intense

Skincare

€269,90

Medik8's most advanced night cream, pairing encapsulated retinyl retinoate with encapsulated retinal — two forms of vitamin A in one formula. A copper peptide supports collagen while a ceramide complex and hyaluronic acid keep the barrier nourished overnight. Build up to it slowly, and avoid during pregnancy.

  • Encapsulated retinyl retinoate — Medik8's exclusive vitamin A molecule, which they report as 8x more powerful than retinol.
  • Encapsulated retinal — a faster-acting form of vitamin A that targets fine lines and hyperpigmentation.
  • Drone-targeted peptide — a copper peptide that supports collagen production.
  • Ceramide complex — mimics the skin's natural lipid barrier to nourish and protect it.
  • Hyaluronic acid — attracts and holds moisture in the skin.

How to use

In the evening, after cleansing.

  • Apply 2 pumps evenly across the face, neck and décolletage.
  • Wear a sunscreen every morning while you are using vitamin A.

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