Medik8 R-Retinoate 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.
Medik8 have collaborated with an advanced, Korean superlab over 8 years to bring you this breakthrough, award winning face cream that provides proven results with continuous use.
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.
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.
Vitamin C: Known for its anti oxidant powers it helps to protect the skin from damaging free radicals whilst stimulating collagen production which in turn helps to achieve a more youthful and plumped complexion.
Vitamin E: This vitamin works in synergy with Vitamin C to improve its performance, it also fights harmful free radicals.

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.
