Medik8 R-Retinoate Intense Youth Activating Cream is a revolutionary active skin care product that contains a patented form of Retinol that has been created to deliver maximum results but without the same level of irritation that many people suffer from when using ordinary retinols.
This makes it ideal for sensitive skins that still want to benefit from an active retinol face cream.
Eight times stronger and eleven times faster than standard retinols this advanced breakthrough formula gets real results.
Designed as an intensive night cream to be worn while you sleep allowing all the active ingredients to penetrate the skin to benefit from impressive results.
Medik8 have collaborated with an advanced, Korean superlab over 8 years to bring you this breakthrough, award winning night cream that provides proven results with continuous use.
This intensive night cream formula combines Retinyl Retinoate with Retinaldehyde to deliver a powerful boost of anti ageing benefits to the skin while you sleep resulting in you waking up to a more rejuvenated, fresh and youthful complexion.
The powerful and active ingredients are carried in a silky smooth cashmere rich cream formula to nourish and hydrate the skin while the retinol works its magic.
Continued use will improve the tone, clarity and texture of the skin and helps to minimise fine lines and wrinkles.
Free from any artificial fragrance, parabens and alcohol.
Key Ingredients:
Retinyl Retinoate: This advanced formula is eight times more powerful than ordinary retinol/vitamin A, a special, non irritating version. Retinol/vitamin A is known to increase collagen production and to help regenerate skin cells for an exfoliation to reveal a youthful, fresh complexion.
Encapsulated Retinaldehyde: This wonder ingredient works up to 11 times quicker than standard retinol for super fast results, an advanced hybrid vitamin A that targets fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation and texture.
Drone Targeted Copper Peptide: Penetrates the skin to boost collagen production.
Ceramide Complex: ceramides mimic the skins natural lipid barrier helping to nourish and restore the skin.
Hyaluronic Acid: Attracts and retains moisture from the air and can hold up to 1000 times its own weight in water, this ingredient plays an important role in imparting optimum hydration levels to the skin.
Squalane: This natural emollient deeply moisturises and smoothes the skin helping to restore and strengthen the lipid barrier.
Vitamin E: This vitamin works in synergy with Vitamin C to improve its performance, it fights harmful free radicals and helps to protect the skin.

The Medik8 brand have a simple skincare philosophy of including core anti ageing ingredients into your daily routine. They call this CSA.
It stands for Vitamin C, Sunscreen and Vitamin A. The regime is to apply Vitamin C in the morning, Sunscreen in the morning and a Vitamin A (retinol/retinal) in the evening. This should be seen as a basic 3 step plan that can be adapted to include various extra steps suited to your skins particular needs. It's a great place to start from if you're new to skincare and looking to start a regime but are overwhelmed with all the advice and choices.
Key benefits of Vitamin C : It's an exceptional anti oxidant helping protect skin from free radicals and external aggressors. Essential in the synthesis of collagen. It disrupts the melanin synthesis pathway resulting in a brighter, glowing complexion whilst it helps to control and lighten pigmentation.
Key benefits of a sunscreen: Wearing a good quality, high SPF facial sunscreen daily is essential. A sunscreen is probably the most powerful anti ageing weapon. Not only does it protect from harmful and ageing UVA and UVB rays (even on a cloudy day 50% of UV rays still reach the skin) but a broad spectrum sunscreen will also protect against infrared rays from the sun, blue light emitted from electrical devices, pollution from the environment and glycation from diet (bad sugars break down collagen).
Key benefits of Vitamin A: Increases collagen synthesis and helps prevent its breakdown which in turn helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Increases cell turnover for smooth, decongested skin surface with less texture. Helps to decrease melanin production for a more even toned and brighter complexion. Reduces sebum production which can help to control and minimise breakouts. Helps with UV repair. Promotes and supports general, overall skin health.
*Although we try our best to ensure this list of ingredients is accurate there may be product upgrades from time to time, or slight variants between different regions based on local laws, meaning the only definitive ingredient list is that which is printed on the product packaging.
