Key Ingredients

• Encapsulated Retinyl Retinoate – Patented and exclusive to Medik8, this unique vitamin A molecule is the breakthrough result of 8 years of expert research. Retinyl retinoate is proven to be 8x more powerful than classic retinol* in delivering astonishing age-defying results.
• 7% Stabilised Vitamin C (tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate) – A low-irritation form of vitamin C that delivers exceptional antioxidant protection against harmful free radical damage while supporting collagen production for a visibly even, more youthful-looking complexion.
• Hyaluronic Acid – With the ability to attract and retain more than 1,000 times its own weight in water, hyaluronic acid draws moisture into the upper layers of the skin; leaving the complexion hydrated and visibly supple.
• Vitamin E – A powerful antioxidant that provides additional antioxidant protection against the ageing effects of free radicals. It also helps to boost the power of vitamin C for optimum visible results.
