Ingredients
Formulated with 0.3% retinol and supported by vitamin E for enhanced stability, this fast-absorbing serum is perfect for those new to vitamin A, or for those looking for more noticable results than 3TR.
Supercharge your night-time routine with this lightweight vitamin A serum. Deeply hydrating and easily absorbed, it features an intelligent Time Release system that prevents irritation and ensures retinol is evenly distributed across the skin. Upgraded with climbazole to kick-start your anti-ageing results, plus squalane to leave skin hydrated and supple. You will notice a rejuvenated, refined and more youthful-looking complexion.
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. Retinol 3TR+ Intense is boosted with climbazole; an exceptional ingredient that enhances the power of retinol by blocking the enzyme that breaks down retinoic acid in the skin. Retinoids are often notorious for being drying and irritating to skin, however Medik8’s Time Release Technology distributes the intelligent formula evenly and slowly throughout the night. This reduces any potential for irritation or redness. The intense serum also uses a high percentage of squalane; an exceptional moisturiser carefully selected to counteract any dryness caused by retinol. KEY INGREDIENTS 0.3% Retinol – Pure vitamin A helps to boost collagen levels and enhance the skin’s natural regenerative cycle; leaving skin looking even-toned and youthful.
Climbazole – Climbazole has been found to boost the activity of retinoids in the skin to give the power of higher percentages without the irritation.
Squalane – A natural emollient; squalane helps to restore the skin’s natural defence barrier while deeply hydrating the skin.
Vitamin E – An oil-soluble antioxidant; vitamin E quenches free radicals on the skin while stabilising retinol for optimal power.
After cleansing in the evening, massage 4 drops of Retinol 3TR+ Intense 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.
