How it works

Retinol, also known as vitamin A, is often considered the gold standard in anti-aging skin care. When applied to the skin, it is converted to retinoic acid, the active form of vitamin A. Retinoic acid helps with collagen synthesis and prevents collagen breakdown so skin looks younger and tighter. It can also help speed up the natural exfoliation process and reduce melanin production, for a visibly smoother, more even-toned complexion.

1. This performance serum is enriched with climbazole, a proven retinol enhancer. Climbazole helps block the enzyme that breaks down retinoic acid, meaning that a reserve of retinoic acid remains in the skin. This prolongs and enhances the anti-aging effects without causing any additional irritation.
2. Retinol can cause some irritation when first introduced into a skin care regimen. Time Release technology, present in all Medik8 vitamin A products, helps minimize irritation while maximizing visible results. Our Intelligent Retinol Serum protects the retinol in a polymer reservoir, which essentially works as a protective shield between the retinol and the skin.The polymer deposit slows down the speed with which retinol is able to penetrate the skin, making the active gently penetrate the skin throughout the night.
3. Carnosine protects against skin aging caused by glycation, while hyaluronic acid deeply hydrates and prebiotics rebalance the skin's natural microbiome.

How to use

1. After cleansing at night, apply 4 drops of Liquid Peptides to the face, neck and décolleté. 
2. Follow with your usual Medik8 moisturizer. We recommend Advanced Night Restore, designed to be used after vitamin A.

3. The application of retinol should be gradual. Use twice a week for the first two weeks, every other night for the next two, and then every night. Consult a doctor if you are nursing or pregnant. You should always use sunscreen in the morning while using vitamin A.

4. It is advisable to test the patch before using it.

Science

“Climbazole is an incredible advance in vitamin A technology. It has been shown to enhance the activity of vitamin A by blocking the enzymes that break down retinoic acid in the skin, thus leaving an energy reserve to enhance the results.^[1] All this without incurring any additional irritation; a true retinol enhancer.“
