HOW IT WORKS:
Retinol, also known as vitamin A, is often referred to as the gold standard in anti-ageing skincare. When applied to the skin, it is converted to retinoic acid, the molecule that helps improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This increase in retinoic acid visibly plumps and refines the skin for a more youthful looking complexion. Vitamin A can also help promote cell turnover to diminish the appearance of fine lines, winkles and uneven skin tone. Intelligent Retinol 10TR 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. Retinoids are often notorious for being drying and irritating to skin, however Medik8’s Time Release Technology distributes the intelligent formula evenly and slowly throughout the night. This reduces any potential for irritation or redness. The intense serum also uses a high percentage of squalane; an exceptional moisturiser carefully selected to help counteract any dryness caused by retinol.

Important notes on Retinol:
Made from vitamin A, retinol boosts the collagen your body makes, reducing fine lines and wrinkles and improving skin tone and colour. Using a retinol-based product may make the top layer of your skin sensitive, so it's best to apply it at night and wear moisturizer and sunscreen the next morning. It's best to ask your Skin Therapist if using a product with retinol is best for you. Please do not use products with retinol if you are pregnant or lactating.

Key Ingredients:

• 1% Retinol – Pure vitamin A helps to visibly plump and refine the skin for a more youthful looking complexion, leaving skin even-toned and youthful-looking.
• Climbazole – A crystal compound, 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.

Directions for Use:

After cleansing in the evening, massage 4 drops of Intelligent Retinol 10TR across the face, neck and décolletage. Follow with your regular Medik8 moisturiser or facial oil. Retinol application should be phased in gradually. Use twice a week for the first 2 weeks, every other night for the next 2 weeks, then every night.

Consult a doctor if breastfeeding or pregnant.
