Ingredients
After 8 years of work, including 3 years by Medik8 scientists, r-Retinoate® features the widely patented molecule retinyl retinoate. It’s time to experience what everyone’s talking about: rejuvenated, more youthful skin with visibly reduced fine lines and wrinkles, improved tone, texture and brightness.
Without the same level of irritation that many suffer from retinol, retinyl retinoate is proven to deliver astonishing results from just 4 weeks1: fine lines and wrinkles are visibly softened, pigmentation noticeably reduced and the appearance of overall skin texture is refined. Skin looks clearer, brighter and revitalised; ultimately more youthful. Improvements become even more remarkable over time with continued use. The power of retinol is now available for all skin types; even sensitive, day and night.

The product of 8 years of work, revolutionary molecule retinyl retinoate is a hybrid of traditional retinol and clinical strength retinoic acid. Its encapsulated form is exclusive to Medik8 formulations. Able to act directly on the skin without breaking down into parts, the molecule helps to stimulate cellular regeneration and support collagen synthesis. 8 times more powerful than retinol, retinyl retinoate visibly reduces fine lines and wrinkles, evens skin tone and smoothes rough skin for a more youthful-looking complexion.2 Incredibly, retinyl retinoate has been proven to be photostable, meaning it doesn’t break down in sunlight like traditional forms of vitamin A. It can be used both day and night and is gentle enough even for the most sensitive of skin. Retinyl retinoate is combined with collagen-supporting vitamin C, skin soothing vitamin E and hydrating hyaluronic acid in a next generation, anti-ageing formula to revitalise the skin.
2 Retinyl retinoate increased collagen synthesis 8 times more than retinol

Hyaluronic Acid – With a unique ability to attract and retain more than 1,000 times its own weight in water, hyaluronic acid draws moisture from the air into the skin to provide intense hydration.
Vitamin C – An exceptional antioxidant, vitamin C protects the skin from harmful free radicals while helping to stimulate collagen production for a youthful complexion.
Vitamin E – A lipid-soluble antioxidant that is naturally present in the skin, vitamin E helps to protect the skin from free radicals and regenerates vitamin C for optimum power.
