The result of eight years of research and collaboration with a Korean superlab, r-Retinoate’s pioneering formula stars patented retinyl retinoate – a true breakthrough in the realm of youth-prolonging skin care and the key to a reduction in the depth and visibility of lines, dark spots and scarring.

An innovative active, the high-performing r-Retinoate Youth Activating Day & Night Cream is a light serum-cream with a potent, results-driven punch. A revolutionary molecular hybrid of traditional retinol with clinical strength retinoic acid, this encapsulated active is eight times more powerful than retinol – found to increase collagen synthesis eight times more effectively – and has the benefit of being photostable so it’s suitable for daytime use. In combination with collagen-supporting vitamin C, soothing vitamin E and hydrating hyaluronic acid to replenish and revitalise while counteracting dullness, this game-changing creation grants astonishing results within four weeks; skin appears clearer, brighter, smoother, firmer, plumper and more even toned.

After cleansing in the morning and evening, apply a small amount and blend evenly across face, neck and décolletage. Leave to absorb before applying your regular Medik8 moisturiser.

All vitamin A products encourage natural exfoliation, therefore always wear sunscreen while using r-Retinoate.
