Retinol, also known as vitamin A, is often referred to as the gold standard in anti-ageing skincare. When applied to the skin, it is converted to retinoic acid, the molecule that helps improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This increase in retinoic acid visibly plumps and refines the skin for a more youthful looking complexion. Vitamin A can also help promote cell turnover to diminish the appearance of fine lines, winkles and uneven skin tone. Intelligent Retinol 10TR is boosted with climbazole; an exceptional ingredient that enhances the power of retinol by blocking the enzyme that breaks down retinoic acid in the skin. Retinoids are often notorious for being drying and irritating to skin, however Medik8’s Time Release Technology distributes the intelligent formula evenly and slowly throughout the night. This reduces any potential for irritation or redness. The intense serum also uses a high percentage of squalane; an exceptional moisturiser carefully selected to help counteract any dryness caused by retinol.
