Renewed Skin with Intelligent Retinol

"This really has been a great addition to my Medik8 products, it is gentle enough to use a few times per week--my skin is absolutely glowing --since using Medik8's products--this retinol actually improve my fine lines, pores and uneven texture to radiant skin. no irritation and I do have sensitive skin!"

A Smooth Introduction to Retinol

"Intelligent Retinol has been a really enjoyable addition to my evening routine. The formula feels silky and easy to spread, and it doesn’t leave the skin with an uncomfortable heavy or greasy feeling. With consistent use, I noticed my skin becoming smoother and more refined. My complexion looked fresher and more even, while the overall texture felt noticeably softer. I particularly liked how well the product fit into my nighttime routine without making my skin feel overwhelmed. A great retinol treatment for anyone looking for a simple way to add vitamin A to their skincare routine. I’m very happy with the results and would definitely continue using it."

Oil rather than 'standard serum' formula.

"I was a bit disappointed as this is a dry oil consistency, whereas I was expecting a more standard serum texture (if that makes sense). Oil isn't mentioned on the product page, unless you go into the full ingredients list (but even then I don't think I would have anticipated an oil product). I am sure it is great for many people but unfortunately I try to avoid oil products as my skin and hairline don't do well with them. So I haven't really used this, just a few tries and may just use it on the backs of my hands. In terms of the packaging and delivery, everything was great as always. Thank you."

One of the best retinol serum

"This serum has a quick effect, is gentle, doesn't cause severe peeling, and has a convenient dosage range. I love all Medik8 products, my skin is delighted."

I’ve been testing the Medik8

"I’ve been testing the Medik8 Intelligent Retinol 3TR, and it’s a stellar nightly treatment. The lightweight, sQualane-based oil texture is highly practical, absorbing smoothly without leaving a heavy film. Formulated with 0. 3% retinol and climbazole, it works beautifully to accelerate cellular renewal, refine skin texture, and fade fine lines while keeping irritation to an absolute minimum."

The serum, I love for my eyes routine!

"This serum is the best, I have ever used, around the eyes area. My skin feels soft wrinkles have reduced over the time. It works wonders. I layer with the Retinol Serum 3 which I adore and works great! I love it, my skin has been improved so much since , I started using the Medik8 products. A great fun and I recommend it ."

Q&A

Dear Medik8, Would I apply Intelligent Retinol before or after Medik8 Liquid Peptides Advanced MP serum please? Thank you.
Thank you for your question. You should apply your Liquid Peptides Advanced MP and allow the peptides to absorb before applying your Intelligent Retinol.
I currently use the crystal retinal 6 but I am going abroad for 2 weeks. Will the travel size 3TR be ok to use in place of this and will it last me the whole 2 weeks?
Hi Karen, Vitamin A is completely safe to use on holiday, as long as you are applying a high-protection sunscreen every day. We'd recommend using your vitamin A serum at night, and re-applying an ample amount of sunscreen, like Advanced Day Ultimate Protect,during the day.
Does using crystal retinal and the intelligent retinol negate the effects of using each product together? I use both at the same time occasionally and have not adverse affects on my skin.
Hello Jo, Thank you for your question! Generally, we don’t recommend using two forms of Vitamin A in the same routine, as this can increase the risk of skin irritation. However, if your skin is tolerating it well and you haven’t experienced any adverse reactions, you may continue with your application. Just be sure to monitor your skin closely and proceed with caution. Thanks, Medik8 Team
Hey! I switched from 3TR to 6TR few weeks ago, nd I have wondered the forest-like smell with the 6TR product. I couldn’t find the correct answer for this anywhere else. Is this normal or has this bottle gone bad or something. I have bought my product from somewhere else.
Hello Sara, thank you for reaching out about your Crystal Retinal 6. I’m sorry to hear there’s an issue with the scent of your product. Please contact our Customer Service team at customercare@medik8.com so we can assist you further. Thanks, Medik8 Team
Please can you tell me what percentage of retinol is in each of your intelligent retinol products 3 to 10 as your list of ingredients just says retinol. Also is it retinol and not retinal? Thanks.
Hello Sarah, Thanks for your question. Our Intelligent Retinol is available in 3 strengths: -Intelligent Retinol 3TR - 0.3% -Intelligent Retinol 6TR - 0.6% -Intelligent Retinol 10TR - 1% Thanks, Medik8 Team
