MEDIK8 RETINOL
Retinol is a well reputed anti-ageing ingredient and many brands use it in their formulas. However, not all retinol is made equal. Not only are all our retinols time release so drip the active into the skin over time to reduce any irritation potential, they are also all analytically tested for stability so you know that the first drop you use is as potent as the very last. We have nightly formulations for the delicate eye area as well as the face.
What sets our best retinols apart from other brands is that they contain a standout ingredient that makes them all the more effective. That’s why we call them: ‘Intelligent Retinol’. But what makes them so intelligent?
THE CLIMBAZOLE DIFFERENCE
Climbazole has been found to boost the activity of retinoids in the skin to give the power of higher percentages without the irritation. So when you choose an Intelligent Retinol 3TR serum you are not only getting all the usual Medik8 vitamin A benefits but also a boost to activity with the addition of climbazole. So why Intelligent Retinol 3TR promises 0.3% active ingredient, you are actually getting more, as the climbazole boosts up activity without any further sensitivity potential. Intelligent by name, intelligent by nature.
Find climbazole in Intelligent Retinol 3TR, Intelligent Retinol 6TR and Intelligent Retinol 10TR serums (previously known as Retinol Intense). All these serums also have a nourishing squalane base for a moisturising experience. We would always recommend our Intelligent Retinol options to anyone wanting to try retinol for the first time.
