Medik8 Intelligent Retinol 3TR – The climbazole-boosted retinol serum that delivers visible anti-ageing results while staying gentle on skin.
If standard retinol has left you red, peeling, or disappointed, this changes everything. Intelligent Retinol 3TR combines 0.3% retinol with climbazole – a proven retinol booster that increases vitamin A's power without increasing irritation. The result? Smoother texture, brighter tone, and softer fine lines without the harsh side effects.
Medik8's Time Release technology delivers retinol gradually throughout the night, keeping your skin comfortable while maximising results. Enriched with squalane and vitamin E, this lightweight serum nourishes as it works – making it the perfect entry point for anyone ready to see what retinol can really do.
