FAQS
What makes r-Retinoate Day & Night different from other vitamin A products? +

Unlike traditional retinoids that break down in sunlight, r-Retinoate features photostable retinyl retinoate – a patented molecule exclusive to Medik8. This means you can use it both morning and night for twice the vitamin A exposure.

The formula is also proven to be 8x more powerful than standard retinol, yet remains gentle enough for sensitive skin. It combines vitamin A with 7% stabilised vitamin C and hyaluronic acid, replacing three separate products in one luxurious step.

Do I need to phase in r-Retinoate Day & Night like other retinoids? +

No phase-in period is required. The gentle, encapsulated formula is designed to be well-tolerated from first use.

However, if you're completely new to vitamin A or have very sensitive skin, you may wish to start with evening use only for the first week or two, then build to twice-daily application once your skin is comfortable.

What's the difference between r-Retinoate Day & Night and r-Retinoate Ultimate Night? +

r-Retinoate Day & Night is a lightweight serum-cream that can be used both morning and night. It contains photostable retinyl retinoate with vitamin C and hyaluronic acid.

r-Retinoate Ultimate Night is a richer night cream that combines retinyl retinoate WITH retinaldehyde (retinal), plus ceramides, peptides and hyaluronic acid. Because it contains retinal (which isn't photostable), it can only be used in the evening.

For maximum results, you can use r-Retinoate Day & Night during the day and r-Retinoate Ultimate Night in the evening.

Can I use r-Retinoate Day & Night with other active ingredients? +

Yes. This formula works beautifully with most skincare products. It already contains vitamin C, so you don't need a separate vitamin C serum.

You can layer it with:

  • Hyaluronic acid serums for extra hydration
  • Peptide products for enhanced anti-ageing
  • Niacinamide for pore refinement

Avoid using with other direct acids (AHAs/BHAs) in the same routine to prevent over-exfoliation.

Will I still need to wear sunscreen if I use this during the day? +

Absolutely. While retinyl retinoate itself is photostable and won't degrade in sunlight, all vitamin A products encourage natural skin exfoliation.

This makes your skin more susceptible to UV damage, so wearing SPF every day is essential when using any retinoid product – including r-Retinoate Day & Night.

How long will one bottle last? +

At the recommended dose of 2 pumps twice daily (face, neck and décolletage), the 50ml bottle typically lasts 8-10 weeks.

If you use it once daily or use 1 pump at a time, it will last considerably longer. The airless pump packaging ensures no product is wasted and keeps the formula stable until the very last drop.
