Frequently asked questions
Which Medik8 anti-ageing product should I start with?
Which Medik8 anti-ageing product should I start with?
Begin with Crystal Retinal at a low strength for visibly smoother, firmer-looking skin, and add Liquid Peptides underneath to support the appearance of firmness. If you prefer a gentler vitamin A, Intelligent Retinol TR uses time-release retinol for a slower, calmer introduction. Once retinal is well tolerated, R-Retinoate Day & Night becomes the twice-daily upgrade.
How do I combine peptides and retinal for anti-ageing?
How do I combine peptides and retinal for anti-ageing?
Cleanse, apply Liquid Peptides to damp skin, follow with Crystal Retinal at night, then finish with Pro Collagen Peptide Cream to seal everything in. Peptides sit comfortably alongside vitamin A, so you get firming support without added irritation. Save R-Retinoate for when you want retinal working morning and night.
What's the difference between Crystal Retinal, Intelligent Retinol TR and R-Retinoate?
What's the difference between Crystal Retinal, Intelligent Retinol TR and R-Retinoate?
Crystal Retinal uses retinaldehyde, which converts to active vitamin A faster than the retinol in Intelligent Retinol TR, so results show sooner. Intelligent Retinol TR releases its retinol gradually for skin that flushes easily. R-Retinoate combines retinal and retinoate in one luxury serum for the most advanced, twice-daily anti-ageing step.
How do I use retinal without irritation?
How do I use retinal without irritation?
Apply a pea-sized amount of Crystal Retinal to dry skin two nights a week, building up as your skin adjusts over four to six weeks. Buffer with Pro Collagen Peptide Cream on top, avoid pairing it with acids on the same night, and wear SPF every morning since vitamin A leaves skin more light-sensitive. Drop back a strength if you see persistent redness or flaking.
Which R-Retinoate should I choose?
Which R-Retinoate should I choose?
R-Retinoate Day & Night is the twice-daily serum for consistent anti-ageing, while R-Retinoate Intense is the richer night cream for drier, more mature skin. Both sit at the top of Medik8's vitamin A range, so move to them only once Crystal Retinal feels easy. Use them as your treatment step before moisturiser.
