Retinol

…

Retinol is the classic form of vitamin A, renowned for its ability to visibly smooth, brighten and firm the skin. When retinol is applied to the skin, it is converted to retinaldehyde and then to the active form, retinoic acid (the form that all types of vitamin A must convert to before they become effective on the skin). All Medik8 retinol formulas feature unique Time Release technology for ongoing visible results, without the common irritating downsides associated with other vitamin A formulas.

Vitamin A

The gold standard in skin renewal

Vitamin A is the fundamental final step of our CSA philosophy®. As the unequivocal gold standard in skincare, it’s proven to improve visible signs of ageing, from fine lines to loss of firmness. By encouraging consistent cell renewal, it supports a smoother, healthier-looking complexion over time.

A tailored approach for every routine

We understand that no two skins are the same. Our range is uniquely tailored to offer a progressive journey through three distinct forms of vitamin A for every experience level:

  • Retinol - the classic form and perfect for those who prefer a traditional, oil-based serum.
  • Retinal - our “everyone” vitamin A that ensures a slow release, remaining gentle enough for even sensitive skin.
  • Retinyl-retinoate - our luxurious patented hybrid molecule, stable enough for both day and night use.
