Medik8 r-Retinoate Intense – Vitamin A Night Cream

An all-in-one evening vitamin A treatment that pairs two forms of vitamin A with peptides, ceramides and hyaluronic acid to help the look of tone, brightness and ageing skin.

Key benefits

• Helps improve the look of brightness, uneven tone and dark spots
• Combines encapsulated retinyl retinoate and encapsulated retinal in one formula
• Includes a copper peptide, a ceramide complex and hyaluronic acid
• Designed as an all-in-one evening step, so Medik8 says no extra moisturiser is needed on top

Who it is for

Evening-only use for adults who want a stronger vitamin A step. Medik8 says it is suitable even for sensitive skin and does not list specific skin types.

How to use

Evening only. Patch test at least 24 hours before first use. After cleansing, massage 2 pumps across the face, neck and décolletage. Introduce it gradually: twice a week for the first 2 weeks, every other night for the next 2 weeks, then every night. Use sunscreen every morning while using vitamin A. Medik8 generally recommends avoiding vitamin A while pregnant or breastfeeding and recommends discussing the ingredients with your GP or midwife before use.

Why Dr Mo recommends it

It is a simple way to step up your evening routine without adding extra layers, and the phased introduction helps skin settle in.
