R-Retinoate® Intense

This product is the result of Medik8 laboratory research, a hybrid of traditional retinol and clinical retinoic acid.

Encapsulated Retinyl Retinoate is an exclusive Medik8 innovation, available only in the r-Retinoate range. This formula stimulates cell renewal and supports collagen synthesis without causing the peeling, dryness and irritation typically associated with classic retinol formulas. Retinyl Retinoate, 8 times more powerful than classic retinol, significantly reduces wrinkles, evens skin tone and smooths skin texture for a younger-looking, refreshed appearance. The Retinyl Retinoate formula has been clinically proven to be photostable, meaning that it does not break down in sunlight in the same way as traditional forms of vitamin A, such as retinol, so it can also be used in your morning skincare routine.

The product is also gentle and suitable even for the most sensitive skin.

Retinyl Retinoate — 8 times more potent than classic retinol and with greater stability, meaning it can be applied to the skin both day and night. This skin-friendly form of vitamin A helps stimulate collagen synthesis and supports skin cell renewal.

Encapsulated retinaldehyde– proven to work up to 11 times faster than the classic form of retinol. Retinaldehyde is a revolutionary new form of vitamin A that reduces wrinkles, pigmentation and uneven skin texture.

Copper peptide on drones— supports collagen stimulation, penetrates deeply through the layers of the skin, thereby affecting collagen-producing cells.

Ceramide complex — a smart lipid combination that restores the skin’s natural lipid barrier.

Hyaluronic acid— provides intensive hydration.

Squalane— a natural emollient that helps restore the skin’s natural protective barrier while deeply moisturising it.

Vitamin E — fat-soluble antioxidant that helps protect against free radicals.

In the evening after cleansing, massage r-Retinoate Intense cream evenly over the entire face, neck and décolleté.
