3% Stabilised Vitamin C (tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate)
This stable, low-irritation form of vitamin C is incredibly effective on the skin; delivering exceptional protection against ageing free radicals. Supporting collagen production and brightening the skin tone, it leaves the complexion visibly more even, radiant and youthful-looking.

Hyaluronic Acid
An incredibly hydrating ingredient, hyaluronic acid attracts and retains more than 1,000 times its own weight in water and draws moisture in the upper layers of the skin; leaving it looking visibly supple and deeply hydrated.

Vitamin E
Rich in antioxidants, vitamin E helps to protect the skin against ageing free radicals. It also helps to boost the power of vitamin C for maximum visible results.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honestly it looks so nice and the idea to have stabilised vit A and be able to use it AM is great, but. I can say that there's some smell that bothered me every time I used it, which wasn't a loud smell but still i could sense it and I didn't like it at all ( probably the major deal-breaker for me) . Also I reacted on it almost every time as well, i assume because of vit C ( if you know you can handle it it's fine, I do use vit c serum but somehow it wasn't quite ok in this form). Overall it is good product, it does make the skin tone better and soften the texture . But somehow I love Cristal retinal more 😆

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Switching it up [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wanted to reduce the number of products I was layering in my am and pm routines for the Summer without compromising my results, so decided to try the r-Retinoate collection because they are all multitasking, and have to say so far really pleased with the results

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Phase in if sensitive. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lovely serum. It glides on easily and tightens and tones right away. However I didn't phase it in and have had to pause the face serum but kept going with the eye serum. Amazing results on lines and the under eye area!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Skin champion [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Since using this with other Medik8 products I have seen significant improvement in skin texture and fine lines. This also negates the need for multiple products so if you are time poor and still want the best this is brilliant. When you work out the cost of this vs retinal, vit c and moisturiser you are winning too. Can also be layered with other products and sits well under makeup. I love it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is fabulous for those days when you don’t feel like doing the layers! My complexion feels instantly better after applying. I didn’t think I could love my medik8 anymore than I already did! But ordering this was such a good move!
