The most concentrated retinoid Medik8 has ever made. r-Retinoate Intense takes the dual vitamin A technology of the Day & Night formula and delivers it at a significantly higher concentration — targeting the most advanced signs of ageing including deep wrinkles, pronounced loss of firmness, and significant textural irregularities. This is the product for patients who have used the standard r-Retinoate and want to push further, or for those with resilient skin seeking the absolute maximum from a non-prescription retinoid.
What it does:
- Maximum-concentration retinyl retinoate for the most significant anti-ageing results in the range
- Targets deep wrinkles, advanced loss of firmness, and pronounced skin laxity
- Delivers visible improvements in skin density and structural integrity from 4–8 weeks
- Maintains the low-irritation profile of the r-Retinoate technology despite higher concentration
- Rich, nourishing texture suited to drier and more mature skin types
Best for: Experienced retinoid users or patients with advanced signs of ageing who want the strongest OTC retinoid available. Also ideal for patients stepping down from clinically reviewed retinoid who want to maintain results with a premium, well-tolerated alternative. If you haven't used r-Retinoate before, start with the Day & Night formula first.
How to use: Apply a small amount to clean skin in the evening only. Follow with a hydrating night moisturiser. Use nightly — no build-up phase required, though you may start with alternate evenings if preferred. Always use broad-spectrum SPF during the day.
