Hoping for good things

"I've tried crystal retinal 6 and 10 and love the r-retinoate but so far I'm waiting to be impressed by the r-retinoate intense. I'm still in the process of building up usage and haven't seen the almost immediate benefits I saw with crystal retinal, but will keep trying. I like that it's a one step skincare product."

Resultaat

"Heerlijke crème, prettig in gebruik en je hebt maar 2 pompjes nodig . Jammer dat de andere moisturizer s van Medik8 in potten zitten anders zou ik die ook zeker proberen ."

Rene V. (5/5)

Beautiful Product

"I love that this product is a 2-in 1. My skin is responding well but time will tell. My only complaint is the price so I probably will not reorder."

Catherine G. (5/5)

Amazing Product

"After using and trying many different Medik8 products I wanted all the amazing things they did but in a more simplified way. This product delivers on all those things and whilst it seems expensive when you consider all the products it replaces it's actually very reasonable. Highly recommend"

r-Retinoate ultimate night performs exactly

"r-Retinoate ultimate night performs exactly as advertised. My skin appears brighter and more even after just a week of use."

Evelin L. (5/5)

Outstanding results — worth every penny

"This was a really expensive purchase for me and I would never normally spend this much money on a single skincare product. But after being so impressed with the other Medik8 products in my routine, I decided to take the plunge — and I’m so glad I did. The results are outstanding. It’s super light, sinks in beautifully, and doesn’t leave that yellow tint that many vitamin A creams can. Within about two weeks I noticed a huge difference in how smooth, bright and refined my skin looked. I only use it at night and tend to alternate it with Crystal Retinal 24, and the combination has transformed my skin. As a beauty therapist, I’m very selective about what I use, and I only invest in products that genuinely work. This has become one of the most effective night‑time treatments I’ve ever used, and it absolutely earns its place in my routine."

This is my third time purchasing!

"I feel this is their most well rounded Vitamin A product. Yes, it is pricey but I’ve never looked better."

Q&A

Hi, I haven't started my medik8 regime yet as I'm waiting to finish my gatineau batch, I was advised to try this brand by a friend I have noticed puffiness & lines around my mouth sagging etc, I have all the medik8 products now, Cleansers, Toners, Hydra B5 intense, Retinol 3 face & eyes, Advanced peptides mp, Night restore & spf day cream, all I need now is my HEO Mask which will be here soon & I was wondering where I could get any samples of the R Retonate intense products to try before I purchase the larger ones as I don't know if the is a medik8 store in Newcastle, I would really appreciate the help thank you Regards Mrs Reay
Hi Mrs R, we unfortunately are not able to send out samples on request at present, but we are working on a sustainable sampling solution for the near future. We do offer a 30 day money back guarantee should you find any product to be unsuitable.
Can I use my liquid peptides advanced mp with the r-Retinoate as I was already using it in my night routine? If so, which goes first?
Hi Dee, thanks so much for your question! Yes, you can absolutely use Liquid Peptides Advanced MP alongside r-Retinoate in your night routine. For best results, apply the Liquid Peptides first, then layer r-Retinoate on top, followed by your night cream if you like. This way, you get the full benefits of both!
Hi. I use R retinoate day and night in the morning and R retinoate intense at night, I love both products so want to keep using them. I was just wondering, is there any benefit to using advanced pro collagen + peptide cream in my routine and if so how would I layer? My concerns are wrinkles and skin firming.
Hi Fay, thanks for your message. Our Advanced Pro-Collagen+ Peptide Cream can be a great addition if you’re focusing on wrinkles and skin firmness, helping support collagen production and adds rich hydration.
I am at the phasing-in stage of using the r-Retinoate Intense and also the Day & Night formulation at the moment. Once I get to the nightly stage can I alternate with Crystal Retinal 10 (or another retinol brand) just so the r-Retinoate product can last longer? Also, I am fortunate that I do not have sensitive skin. Can I use Press and Glow for toning and brightening purposes (I have hyperpigmentation) in my r-Retinoate regime or is this an unnecessary step?
Hi Marley, You can certainly alternate these products - we would simply advise not to apply both in one single routine. However, you can certainly use your Night & Day in the morning and either your Intense or Crystal Retinal in the evenings. In terms of Press & Glow, this can certainly be added to your routine to help brighten and improve your overall skin complexion. Thanks, Medik8.
If I purchase this would I need all the additional serums and peptides etc? Is it all in one ?
Hi Jayne, thank you for your question! Our r-Retinoate Intense is a powerhouse product that combines the best of vitamin A with nourishing ceramides, plumping hyaluronic acid, protective squalane, and advanced drone-targeted copper peptides. This 5-in-1 night cream delivers comprehensive care, so there’s no need to layer additional serums or peptides—it’s all you need for a simplified yet effective nighttime routine! Thanks, Medik8 Team
