INTELLIGENT RETINOL 6TR

Supercharged Vitamin A Serum
 
Known at Medik8 as the 'Classic Vitamin A' due to its many decades of research and it's also the vitamin A you've probably heard of. 
 
KEY BENEFITS
 
This retinol-infused serum is designed to complement skin’s nightly regenerative cycle; resurfacing while you sleep to rejuvenate skin and restore radiance. 
 
RESULTS
 
Retinol helps to decongest pores and regulate sebum production for a clearer looking complexion. Formulated with Time Release Technology, retinol is delivered gradually into the skin throughout the night to ensure maximum results and minimum irritation.
 
KEY INGREDIENTS
 
Retinol & Vitamin E
 
How It Works
 
Retinol, also known as vitamin A, is often referred to as the gold standard in anti-ageing skincare. When applied to the skin, it is converted to retinoic acid, the molecule that signals skin cells to produce proteins such as collagen. This increase in retinoic acid both boosts and preserves collagen levels within the skin for a plump, youthful complexion.
 
Vitamin A can also boost the regenerative cycle of skin cells and hinder the formation of excess melanin to leave skin looking smooth and even-toned. 
Time Release Technology distributes the intelligent formula continuously throughout the night, slowing down vitamin A absorption for reduced irritation. 
Vitamin A is used in combination with vitamin E, an oil-soluble antioxidant that helps to protect delicate skin from external free radical damage, while stabilising vitamin A for a highly potent, long-lasting formula.
 
How To Use
After cleansing in the evening, massage 4 drops of retinol across the face, neck and décolletage. 
Follow with your regular Medik8 moisturiser or facial oil.
Retinol application should be phased in gradually. Use twice a week for the first 2 weeks, every other night for the next 2 weeks, then every night. Consult a doctor if breastfeeding or pregnant.
