Intelligent Retinol 3TR FAQs

What is Medik8 Intelligent Retinol 3TR?

Medik8 Intelligent Retinol 3TR is a lightweight vitamin A serum designed for a gentle yet effective introduction to retinol. Powered by a blend of retinol, retinaldehyde, climbazole, and squalane, it works overnight to encourage skin renewal, boost radiance, and smooth texture. With advanced Time Release technology, the formula delivers results gradually to maximise benefits while keeping irritation to a minimum.

How do I use Medik8 Intelligent Retinol 3TR?

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 3TR suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, Medik8 Intelligent Retinol 3TR is suitable for sensitive skin. Its gentle 0.3% retinol formula, combined with Time Release technology and squalane, gradually delivers retinol overnight to minimise irritation while supporting skin renewal. Start slowly to build tolerance, and consult a Skin Expert if needed.

What makes Medik8 Intelligent Retinol “intelligent”?

Unlike standard retinol products, Medik8 Intelligent Retinol is “intelligent” as it blends retinol and retinaldehyde with pH-activated delivery. This means the active ingredients are released only when the skin is ready, delivering visible anti-ageing results while minimising the irritation or sensitivity commonly linked to retinol use.

Can I use Medik8 Intelligent Retinol 3TR during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Retinol-based products are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. For personalised advice, book a free consultation with one of our Skin Experts for safe alternatives.

Can I use Vitamin C with Medik8 Intelligent Retinol 3TR?

Yes. we recommend 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.

Is Medik8 Intelligent Retinol 3TR sustainable?

Medik8 is committed to sustainability and responsible sourcing. Intelligent Retinol 3TR 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.
