It really is one of the most effective formulas you can buy.
HOW DOES IT WORK
The product of 8 years of research, the 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 into parts, the molecule helps stimulate cell regeneration and supports collagen synthesis. 8 times more powerful than retinol, retinyl retinoate visibly reduces fine lines and wrinkles, evens skin tone and smoothes skin texture for a more youthful complexion. 1 Incredibly, retinyl retinate has been shown to be photostable, meaning it does not break down in sunlight like traditional forms of vitamin A and is gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin.
In 2018, Medik8 harnessed the power of retinaldehyde in a clever crystal encapsulation that gently releases the powerful active overnight so skin isn't overwhelmed. 11x faster than retinol, 2 retinaldehyde is almost as powerful as retinoic acid, while remaining as gentle on the skin as traditional retinol. Unlike other forms of vitamin A, retinaldehyde has direct and potent antibacterial properties. This allows it to attack the bacteria that cause blemishes, promoting a healthy, visibly clear complexion.
Their combined powers, retinyl retinoate and retinaldehyde present the ultimate in skin rejuvenation. r-Retinoate Intense is truly the most advanced anti-aging product we have ever made. High-precision ceramides and copper peptides are intricately blended into a moisturizer that's bursting with skin nutrients. Experience a new level of age-defying skin care.
