Medik8 Intelligent Retinol Smoothing Night Cream – The two-in-one vitamin A moisturiser designed for retinol beginners who want visible anti-ageing results without the hassle of multiple products.

This intelligent night cream delivers 0.2% slow-release retinol alongside nourishing antioxidants, so you wake up to smoother, more refined skin without the irritation that plagues most starter retinols. Medik8's patented encapsulation technology gradually releases retinol throughout the night, keeping skin comfortable while the formula remains stable and potent until the very last drop.

The antioxidant-rich blend tackles free radical damage accumulated during the day – from pollution, UV exposure and environmental stressors – while deeply hydrating the skin barrier. The result? A simpler PM routine that still delivers professional-grade age-defying benefits.

FAQS

Is this suitable for retinol beginners? +

Yes – this is specifically designed as an entry point to vitamin A. The 0.2% concentration provides enough potency to deliver visible results without overwhelming the skin.

Medik8's time-release encapsulation technology gradually delivers retinol throughout the night, significantly reducing the irritation, dryness and peeling commonly associated with starting retinol.

Do I need a separate moisturiser after applying this? +

No – this is a genuine two-in-one formula. The Intelligent Retinol Smoothing Night Cream contains both your evening retinol dose and nourishing moisturising ingredients including:

Squalane for lightweight hydration
Glycerin for moisture retention
Vitamin E for barrier support

Simply apply after cleansing and you're done.

When will I see results? +

Most users notice softer, smoother skin texture within the first 2-4 weeks of consistent use.

For more significant anti-ageing benefits like reduced fine lines and improved skin tone, allow 8-12 weeks of regular application. Vitamin A works by supporting the skin's natural regeneration cycle, which takes time to show cumulative effects.

Can I use this with vitamin C? +

Absolutely – in fact, Medik8 recommends it. This follows their CSA Philosophy: vitamin C plus sunscreen by day, vitamin A by night.

Using a vitamin C serum in your morning routine (like Medik8 C-Tetra) alongside this night cream creates a comprehensive anti-ageing regime targeting multiple concerns.

What if I've had bad reactions to retinol before? +

This formula is specifically designed to minimise irritation. The slow-release technology means retinol is delivered gradually rather than all at once, which is typically what causes sensitivity.

Start with the recommended phase-in schedule (twice weekly for 2 weeks, then every other night) and your skin should adjust comfortably. If you've reacted to prescription retinoids or harsh retinols, this gentler approach often works much better.

How long does the 50ml jar last? +

With nightly use, expect approximately 2-3 months from one jar. During the initial phase-in period when you're using it less frequently, it will last even longer.

The airless packaging and encapsulation technology ensure the formula remains effective until the very last application.
