THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE FORMULA

The most powerful age-defying formula we have ever made.

DANIEL ISAACS Chief Product Officer

As the Experts in Vitamin A, our Research & Development team took everything we know about retinyl retinoate and looked into the potential to pair it with revolutionary retinal.

What followed was two additional years of research and development, on top of a previous eight with the original formulation, r-Retinoate Day & Night. The final result? A one-of-a-kind combination of two exceptionally powerful and stabilized vitamin A molecules, bolstered by a drone-targeted peptide, ceramides and hyaluronic acid to create a revolutionary 5-in-1 night cream.

Experience all-encompassing age-defying results coupled with sumptuous experience.

FAQS

Can I use r-Retinoate Ultimate Night if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?

+
As a cosmetics company, we are unable to provide product advice in relation to medical conditions such as pregnancy or breastfeeding. We strongly recommend discussing the ingredients with your physician or obstetrician before use. We do, however, generally recommend avoiding vitamin A use while pregnant or breastfeeding, which is why we offer a plant-based vitamin A alternative - Bakuchiol Peptides.
How and when should I apply r-Retinoate Ultimate Night?

+
r-Retinoate Ultimate Night should be applied in the evening. After cleansing, massage 2 pumps evenly across the face, neck and décolletage.
At what age can I start to use this product?

+
All of our products are suitable for those aged 16+ - including r-Retinoate Ultimate Night.
Is r-Retinoate Intense the same as r-Retinoate Ultimate Night?

+
Yes. The formulas are exactly the same. They simply have different names for our European and US markets.
Do I need to use a moisturiser on top of r-Retinoate Ultimate Night?

+
No. r-Retinoate Ultimate Night is carefully formulated to be an all-in-one product for your nighttime routine. Boosted with hydrating hyaluronic acid and nourishing ceramides, it contains all of the moisturizing actives your skin needs in the evening.
What’s the difference between r-Retinoate Day & Night and r-Retinoate Ultimate Night?

+
r-Retinoate Day & Night is formulated with retinyl retinoate, a unique form of vitamin A that’s photostable (meaning it doesn’t lose its power when exposed to sunlight). This means it’s a vitamin A formula that can be used both morning and night for accelerated age-defying results. r-Retinoate Ultimate Night is a 5-in-1 night cream and the jewel in the Medik8 vitamin A crown. Combining 5 of Medik8's most advanced age-defying technologies in 1 extraordinary nighttime cream (retinyl retinoate, retinal, ceramides, peptides and hyaluronic acid), it delivers everything your skin needs for astonishing youth-renewing results in one simple but luxurious step. Remember; r-Retinoate Ultimate Night can only be used in the evening due to it containing retinal (which is not photostable).
