Medik8 r-Retinoate Intense

Medik8 r-Retinoate Intense is the jewel in Medik8's vitamin A crown: an all-in-one night cream that combines encapsulated retinyl retinoate, shown to be 8x stronger than retinol, with encapsulated retinal, shown to work 11x faster. Five of Medik8's most advanced technologies sit in one luxurious step, making it the vitamin A night cream for firmer, smoother, brighter-looking skin with visibly reduced wrinkles and dark spots in as little as four weeks.

Alongside the two vitamin A molecules, Medik8 r-Retinoate Intense carries a drone-targeted copper peptide that travels through the skin's layers to support collagen-producing cells, a ceramide complex that mimics the skin's lipid barrier to restore and nourish, and hyaluronic acid that holds more than 1,000 times its weight in water. In Medik8's independent four-week consumer study on 52 participants, skin looked visibly brighter in 7 days, with dramatic visible wrinkle reduction and visibly reduced dark spots at four weeks; 91% agreed their skin looked instantly smoother after one use, 96% agreed it was non-irritating and 96% said the all-in-one cream made their routine simpler and shorter.
