Retinol Smart Staircase
Medik8 offers progressive concentrations of retinol (0.3%, 0.6%, 1%) in the Intelligent Retinol TR range, for all levels of retinol users. We recommend Intelligent Retinol™ 3TR for those who are new to Vitamin A, or as a refresher to Night Ritual Vitamin A. From there, you can work up the ladder over time. -
Supercharged Retinol
The smart formulas are reinforced with climbazole, a proven retinol enhancer. Increased retinol activity, for greater potency but without any added irritation. -
Extended release technology
Retinol is gradually delivered to the skin with Time Release Technology, to improve skin comfort when using retinol while prolonging the effects overnight. -
Nourishing Texture
Intelligent Retinol serums are enriched with the emollient oil squalene, which leaves skin nourished and helps integrate retinol into a skin care regimen.
How it works
- 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.
- 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.
- Squalene is an oil identical to the skin that glides effortlessly through the skin's natural barrier, providing the complexion with nighttime hydration and promoting the integration of retinol into the skin care routine.Being a waterless formulation, we have ensured the stability of the powerful but fragile retinol molecule.
How to use
- After cleansing at night, apply 4 drops of C-Tetra Cream to the face, neck and décolleté.
- Follow with your usual Medik8 moisturizer. We recommend Advanced Night Restore, designed to be used after vitamin A.
-
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 a sunscreen in the morning while using vitamin A.
