The new r-Retinoate features key ingredients polymer-encapsulated retinyl retinoate, crystal-encapsulated retinaldehyde and ceramide complex

Luxury skin care brand Medik8 has released what it is calling its ‘best product’ yet.

The new r-Retinoate Intense (£210) combines crystal stabilised retinaldehyde with retinal retinoate for a double-dose of vitamin A.

Designed to be used at night, the product is said to be formulated with a soft moisturising cream infused with notes of Madagascan vanilla and soft citrus aromas.

Meanwhile, its most powerful ingredients include: polymer-encapsulated retinyl retinoate, crystal-encapsulated retinaldehyde, ceramide complex, vitamin E, drone-targeted copper peptide and organic carrot seed oil.

Together these products are said to work 11 times faster than other products in its line-up and is eight times stronger than retinol to reduce the appearance of fine lines in just four weeks.

The product is suitable for all skin types and can be purchased via medik8.com.
