Experts explain 

A serum that delivers visible results while keeping skin calm and comfortable

What I love about Intelligent Retinol 6TR is how it delivers real results without the irritation we often see with retinol. The skin absorbs it when it’s ready, so it works effectively overnight to smooth, brighten and restore the complexion. It’s perfect for anyone who wants stronger retinol benefits while keeping their skin calm and comfortable.

Reviews

Intelligent Retinol 6TR FAQs

What is Medik8 Intelligent Retinol 6TR?

Medik8 Intelligent Retinol 6TR is a mid-strength vitamin A serum in the Intelligent Retinol range. It combines retinol, retinaldehyde, climbazole and squalane, delivered via Time Release technology for effective overnight rejuvenation with minimal irritation.

How do I use Medik8 Intelligent Retinol 6TR?

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 6TR suitable for sensitive skin?

As a mid-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 other retinol formulations, Medik8 Intelligent Retinol is “intelligent” because it combines retinol and retinaldehyde with pH-activated delivery. This ensures the actives are only released when the skin is ready, providing visible anti-ageing results while reducing the common irritation or sensitivity often associated with retinol use.

Can I use Medik8 Intelligent Retinol 6TR during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Retinol-based products, including 6TR, are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Please consult a doctor or book a free consultation with one of our Skin Experts for safe alternatives.

Can I use Vitamin C with Medik8 Retinol 6TR?

Yes, following Medik8’s CSA philosophy, we recommend using Vitamin C in the morning and Retinol in the evening. Vitamin C protects your skin from environmental stressors and boosts radiance, while Retinol works overnight to smooth fine lines and improve texture. This combination allows each active ingredient to work optimally while minimising the risk of irritation. For personalised guidance, book a free consultation with one of our Skin Experts.

Is Medik8 Intelligent Retinol 6TR sustainable?

Medik8 prioritises sustainability and ethical sourcing. Intelligent Retinol 6TR is vegan, free from artificial fragrances, parabens, and alcohol. The brand also reduces its environmental impact through carefully chosen ingredients and eco-conscious packaging.
