Medik8 Intelligent Retinol 6TR

*Please note- formerly known as 'Medik8 Retinol 6TR+ Intense'. The formula and size remain the same.

Formulated with the 0.6% retinol and vitamin E for stability, plus the added synergistic benefits of squalane and climbazole to further boost visible results, without the need to go up to higher strength retinol.

Light super-fast absorbing vitamin A serum that rejuvenates skin at its most optimal time – at night. Contains 0.6% retinol supported by vitamin E for significantly enhanced stability as compared to other retinol products. Helps stimulate the production of collagen and increases levels of epidermal hyaluronic acid, improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in targeted areas. Skin sagginess, roughness, and hyperpigmentation are also improved; leading to a more youthful skin appearance.

Intelligent Retinol 6TR 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. The intense serum also uses a high percentage of squalane; an exceptional moisturiser carefully selected to help counteract any dryness caused by retinol.

0.6% strength is suitable for those who have already been using retinol as part of their regime and are looking for higher strength, if new to retinol we suggest 3 TR.

Key Ingredients:

0.6% Retinol – Pure vitamin A helps to boost collagen levels and to enhance the skin’s natural regenerative cycle; leaving skin even-toned and youthful-looking.

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 can quench free radicals on the skin whilst stabilising retinol for optimal power.

Size: 15ml

Retinol application should be phased in gradually. Use twice a week for the first 2 weeks, every other day for the next 2 weeks, then every day.

Leave to absorb before applying your regular Medik8 hydrator. Please ensure you are applying a sunscreen daily (even in the winter months)
