What is Medik8 Intelligent Retinol 10TR?
Medik8 Intelligent Retinol 10TR is a powerful vitamin A serum designed for experienced retinol users. With a high-strength blend of retinol, retinaldehyde, climbazole, and squalane, it works overnight to support skin renewal and visibly smooth signs of ageing. Advanced Time Release technology ensures gradual delivery for maximum results with reduced irritation.
How do I use Medik8 Intelligent Retinol 10TR?
Apply in the evening after cleansing, starting with a small amount once or twice a week for the first two weeks, then every other night for the next two weeks, and increase as tolerated. Always follow with sunscreen the next day, as retinol can increase the skin’s sensitivity to sunlight.
Is Medik8 Intelligent Retinol 10TR suitable for sensitive skin?
As a high-strength retinol serum, it may be too strong for very sensitive skin. Beginners should start with a lower strength or consult a Skin Expert before use.
What makes Medik8 Intelligent Retinol “intelligent”?
Unlike standard retinol serums, Medik8 Intelligent Retinol is designed with an advanced delivery system that blends retinol and retinaldehyde with pH-activated technology. This means the active ingredients are released only when the skin is ready, helping to deliver visible anti-ageing benefits while minimising the irritation and sensitivity often linked to retinol use.
Can I use Medik8 Intelligent Retinol 10TR during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
As a general guidance, retinol-based products, including 10TR, are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Please consult a doctor or Skin Expert for safe alternatives.
Can I use Vitamin C with Medik8 Retinol 10TR?
Yes. Medik8 recommends using Vitamin C in the morning and Retinol in the evening. This combination allows each active ingredient to work optimally while reducing the risk of irritation. Always consult a Skin Expert for personalised guidance.

Medik8 is committed to sustainability and responsible sourcing. Intelligent Retinol 10TR is vegan, contains no artificial fragrance, is paraben-free, and alcohol-free. The brand also works to minimise environmental impact through mindful packaging and ingredient selection.
