| Key Benefits | Highly tolerated even by the most sensitive skin types, retinyl retinoate is proven to deliver astonishing results from just 4 weeks1: fine lines and wrinkles are visibly softened, pigmentation noticeably reduced and the appearance of overall skin texture is refined. Eye contours look brighter and revitalised; ultimately more youthful. Improvements become even more remarkable over time with continued use. The power of vitamin A is now available for all skin types; even sensitive, day and night. 1H. Kim et al., British Journal of Dermatology, 2010, 162(3), pp 497-502 |

| How it works | The product of 8 years of work, 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, the molecule helps to stimulate cellular regeneration and supports collagen synthesis. 8 times more powerful than retinol, retinyl retinoate visibly reduces fine lines and wrinkles, evens skin tone and smoothes skins texture for a more youthful-looking complexion.2 Incredibly, retinyl retinoate has been proven to be photostable, meaning it doesn’t break down in sunlight like traditional forms of vitamin A and is gentle enough even for the most sensitive of skin. 2 Retinyl retinoate supports collagen synthesis 8 times more than retinol Kim et al., Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry, 20018, 16, pp 6387-6393 |
