Encapsulated Retinyl Retinoate
Patented and exclusive to Medik8, this unique vitamin A molecule is the breakthrough result of 8 years of expert research. Retinyl retinoate is proven to be 8x more powerful than classic retinol* in delivering astonishing age-defying results.

This next-generation vitamin A works to target the look of fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and uneven skin texture - 11x faster than classic retinol.* Its unique antibacterial properties also help to visibly decongest the skin.
Drone-Targeted Peptide
A youth-boosting copper peptide, encapsulated in an innovative polymer shell. It dives through the layers of the skin to specifically support collagen-producing cells for more youthful-looking skin.
Ceramide Complex
A unique combination of ceramides (alongside phytosterol and fatty acids) which mimic the skin’s natural lipid barrier to intensely restore and nourish.
Hyaluronic Acid
With the ability to attract and retain more than 1,000 times its own weight in water, hyaluronic acid draws moisture into the upper layers of the skin; leaving the complexion hydrated and visibly supple.
Step 1
After cleansing in the evening, massage 2 pumps of r-Retinoate Intense evenly across face, neck and décolletage.
Step 2
This product should be phased in gradually as it contains retinal. Use twice a week for the first 2 weeks, every other night for the next 2 weeks, then every night. You should use a sunscreen every morning while using vitamin A.
How do I use r-Retinoate Intense?
Start by using 2-3 times per week in the evening on clean, dry skin. Gradually increase frequency as your skin builds tolerance. Always follow with moisturiser and use SPF during the day.
What does retinol do and is it right for me?
Retinol (vitamin A) accelerates cell turnover, stimulates collagen production, and helps reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone. It is suitable for most adults looking to address signs of ageing or acne, but should be introduced gradually. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before use.
Can I use this with other active ingredients?
Retinol can be sensitising, so avoid layering it with AHAs, BHAs, or vitamin C in the same routine. Use retinol in the evening and vitamin C in the morning. Hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and ceramides pair well with retinol and help buffer any irritation.
At what age should I start using anti-ageing products?
Prevention is easier than correction. Most dermatologists recommend starting a basic anti-ageing routine (antioxidants, SPF, and a gentle retinol) in your mid-to-late twenties. However, it is never too late to start — the skin responds to active ingredients at any age.
