Medik8 Retinol aka Vitamin A – The No. 1 anti-aging ingredient. Medik8 retinol products are groundbreaking and innovative and skin rejuvenating skincare products. Medik8 Retinol products effectively stimulate cell renewal in the skin to help reduce signs of aging, treat blemishes and sun-damaged skin. The peeling process activates collagen production to improve fine lines and wrinkles and even out skin tone and texture for more radiant-looking skin.
De Medik8 retinol products are Cosmeceuticals or “Medical-grade” skin care.
Medik8 Retinol is cosmeceutical because in all Medik8 products high-quality active ingredients and proven ingredients are used. The ingredients are clinically tested and backed by extensive research to create products you can trust to work, without the need for a prescription. Medik8 is therefore the authority in the field of retinol products for a reason!
The downside to retinol products from other brands is that when administered in high concentrations, it can cause irritation in the form of stinging, redness, and peeling. To counter this, developed Medik8 a Retinol with a unique Time Release (TR™) delivery system.
All Medik8 retinol serums use the active ingredient encapsulated in a micro-fluid or polymer shell. When the serum is rubbed into the skin, this encapsulation breaks down and the retinol can be slowly released into the skin. This significantly minimizes the risk of irritation and ensures that the skin slowly receives the benefits over a longer period of time.
To get the desired results in the skin, retinol must convert to its biologically active form called retinoic acid. So whatever form you put in, it must eventually reach retinoic acid before any of the benefits can occur. There are four major steps for conversion to retinoic acid, starting with retinyl esters, then retinol, then retinaldehyde, and finally retinoic acid.
In summary, retinol is therefore two conversion steps away from retinoic acid, but retinaldehyde only requires one conversion step to retinoic acid. The fewer conversions required, the more benefits are delivered to the skin.
As a Medik8 retinol is applied to the skin, it undergoes two conversions. First it is converted to retinaldehyde and then to retinoic acid. Retinoic acid is the active form of retinol; the shape that can actually be used by the skin. It triggers cell renewal and collagen production to provide the amazing effects retinol users experience. Medik8 has quite an extensive collection of retinol products ranging from the Night Ritual Vitamin A™ (0.2%) for absolute beginners, up to the maximum strength Retinol 10TR™ Intense (1%) for experienced vitamin A users, which contains the super ingredient, climbazole, that the effect of retinol enhanced without increasing the risk of irritation.
Retinal is better and faster than the traditional one Medik8 retinol, and gives results like retinoic acid, but without the irritation.
Medik8 has taken retinol to the next level and introduced retinaldehyde – a next generation vitamin A molecule that is one step closer to retinoic acid than retinol. The results are 11 times faster than with classic forms of retinol, which is in Crystal Retinal retinaldehyde quickly resurfaces the skin while helping to rebuild collagen. Supplied in a crystal encapsulation system, the active is released throughout the night so is equally gentle on the skin but has effects vesimilar to prescription retinoic acid. Unlike the other forms of vitamin A, retinaldehyde has the added benefit of having a direct antibacterial effect, making it the ideal anti-aging ingredient for blemish-prone skin. The Medik8 Crystal Retinals are available in four different strengths, starting with Crystal Retinal 3™ to acclimate your skin to the new vitamin A in a phased approach. After that, it can be increased as desired Crystal Retinal 6™ and finally Crystal Retinal 10™ when your skin is ready. There is also for sensitive skin Crystal Retinal 1™ with a soft strength.
r-Retinoate is the best and unparalleled form of all Medik8 retinol products, which is directly biologically active.
A true breakthrough in anti-ageing skin care, this innovative active retinol is the result of 8 years of research in collaboration with a Korean super lab. Retinyl retinoate is a hybrid molecule that fuses retinol and retinoic acid. Worldwide patented and exclusive to Medik8, this encapsulated new molecule exhibits properties of both source components; the anti-aging effect of retinol is enhanced without the irritating side effects of retinoic acid. Found in r-Retinoate®, it boosts collagen production and wrinkle repair up to 8 times more than standard retinol. In addition, unlike many other vitamin A derivatives, retinyl retinoate is more stable in sunlight, which remarkably means that it can be used day and night for accelerated results. The perfect option if you hate skin care fumbling and just want the very best medik8 products with retinol for your skin
Medik8 Retinol is available in different concentrations, ranging from 0,3% to 1%. Choosing the right concentration depends on your skin type and tolerance to retinol. If you are new to retinol, it is advisable to start with a lower concentration and gradually move to a higher concentration as your skin gets used to it.
People with sensitive skin should start with a lower concentration to avoid irritation. It's also important to observe your skin and listen to how it responds to retinol. If you notice that your skin becomes irritated, red or flaky, you can switch to a lower concentration or reduce the frequency of use.
