Directions

How To Use

Application: After cleansing in the evening, dispense 4 drops into your palm or apply directly to the face. Massage evenly across face, neck, and décolletage, avoiding the immediate eye area. Allow to fully absorb before applying your moisturiser.

Frequency: Retinol application must be phased in gradually to allow skin acclimatisation. Use twice a week for the first 2 weeks, then increase to every other night for the next 2 weeks, before progressing to nightly application.

Timing: Apply only during your evening routine. Retinol works in harmony with your skin's natural regenerative cycle which peaks during sleep.

Layering: Follow with Medik8 Advanced Night Restore or your preferred moisturiser. This serum integrates perfectly into Medik8's CSA Philosophy - use vitamin C and sunscreen during the day, vitamin A at night.

Expert Tips: Always apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher the following morning and throughout retinol use. If you experience any irritation, reduce application frequency until skin adjusts. Speak to our skincare specialists for personalised guidance on integrating this into your existing routine.

FAQ

FAQ

Q: I'm new to retinol – is 0.3% suitable for beginners?
A: Absolutely. The 0.3% concentration in Retinol 3TR™ is considered the ideal professional strength for those beginning their vitamin A journey. Combined with Medik8's Time Release Technology, this formula delivers visible results whilst remaining gentle enough for retinol newcomers. The phased application protocol further supports comfortable skin acclimatisation. Our experts are available to guide you through the introduction process.

Q: How does Retinol 3TR™ differ from the Intelligent Retinol range?
A: Retinol 3TR™ is Medik8's original, classic retinol serum formulated with pure retinol in a jojoba oil base. The Intelligent Retinol range is enhanced with climbazole, a proven retinol-booster that increases retinol activity for amplified results, and features a squalane-based formula. Both ranges utilise Time Release Technology, but Intelligent Retinol offers enhanced performance for those seeking more powerful results or ready to progress from Retinol 3TR™.

Q: When can I expect to see visible results?
A: Most users begin noticing improvements in skin texture and radiance within 4-6 weeks of consistent use. More significant changes in fine lines, wrinkles, and overall skin tone typically become apparent after 8-12 weeks of regular application. Remember that retinol delivers cumulative benefits – the longer you use it consistently, the more pronounced the results. Patience and consistency are key to achieving optimal outcomes.

Q: Can I use this serum during the day?
A: No, Retinol 3TR™ should only be applied during your evening routine. Retinol works optimally alongside your skin's natural nighttime regenerative cycle. Additionally, retinol can break down when exposed to UV light, reducing its efficacy. Always use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher during the day when using any retinol product.

Q: My skin feels slightly dry or flaky after starting retinol – is this normal?
A: Mild dryness and flaking can occur during the initial adjustment period as retinol accelerates cellular turnover. This is typically temporary and subsides as your skin acclimatises. Ensure you're following the recommended phase-in protocol and using a nourishing moisturiser after application. If irritation persists or worsens, reduce application frequency. Speak to our skincare specialists for personalised advice on managing the adjustment period whilst maintaining progress.

Medik8 Retinol 3TR™ | Anti-Ageing Night Serum | 15ml

£30.99 £34.00

Product Overview - Medik8 Retinol 3TR™ Advanced Night Serum


Discover Medik8 Retinol 3TR™, the original youth-renewing retinol serum that pioneered Medik8's innovations in vitamin A technology. This professional-grade night treatment harnesses the power of 0.3% pure retinol combined with Medik8's pioneering Time Release Technology to deliver visible anti-ageing results whilst minimising irritation. Formulated within a nourishing Jojoba Oil base and fortified with Vitamin E, this clinically-proven serum works in harmony with your skin's natural regenerative cycle to restore radiance, smooth texture, and visibly soften fine lines.

The 15ml serum features a unique polymer reservoir system that gradually releases retinol into the skin throughout the night, ensuring optimal efficacy alongside total comfort. Suitable for those beginning their vitamin A journey or seeking a gentle yet effective retinol solution, this dermatologist-recommended formula addresses multiple signs of ageing whilst supporting long-term skin health. Ideal for all skin types seeking visible improvements in skin tone, texture, and overall radiance.

Key Benefits at a Glance:

Immediate Benefits:
Long-Term Benefits:

With consistent use, Retinol 3TR™ delivers transformative results by supporting your skin's natural collagen production and accelerating cellular turnover. The retinol converts to retinoic acid within the skin, stimulating collagen synthesis whilst preventing its breakdown for visibly plumper, more youthful-looking skin. Over time, you'll notice a marked improvement in skin firmness, a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and a brighter, more even complexion.

The serum also works to speed up your skin's natural exfoliation process whilst decreasing melanin production, resulting in noticeably smoother texture and reduced hyperpigmentation. Our experts recommend this as the cornerstone of any anti-ageing routine, with visible improvements typically apparent within 4-8 weeks of consistent use.

How will it feel on my Skin?

Retinol 3TR™ features a dry-touch, lightweight texture that absorbs rapidly into the skin without any greasy residue. The jojoba oil-infused formula provides a silky application that glides effortlessly across the face, neck, and décolletage. Thanks to the Time Release Technology, the serum works gently throughout the night without causing the tingling or tightness sometimes associated with retinol products. Most users experience minimal to no irritation when following the recommended phase-in protocol, waking to skin that feels soft, smooth, and noticeably rejuvenated.

Who is it Suitable For?

Why choose Retinol 3TR™?

Retinol 3TR™ represents decades of research in vitamin A technology, offering the gold standard in anti-ageing skincare with Medik8's signature gentle approach. Our experts recommend this as the essential foundation of any effective night-time routine, particularly valued for its clinically-proven ability to deliver visible results without the irritation typically associated with retinol. As part of Medik8's pioneering CSA Philosophy (vitamin C and sunscreen by day, vitamin A by night), this serum integrates seamlessly into a comprehensive approach to skin health and rejuvenation.
