R-retinoate® Day & Night Eye Serum Medik8

Precision eye care

r-Retinoate® Day & Night Eye Serum is a luxurious, specialized eye serum that dramatically reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.

The formula is powered by Medik8's exclusive encapsulated retinyl retinoate — proven to be 8 times more powerful than standard retinol* in delivering anti-aging benefits, both day and night.

Medik8 is a British cosmeceutical brand that organizes its entire range around one core philosophy — CSA. Vitamin C plus sunscreen by day, vitamin A by night. The rest of your skincare routine is designed to complement this framework, rather than being a collection of random products.

Encapsulated retinol — how it works

This innovative formula is based on encapsulated retinyl retinoate, which allows for anti-aging benefits to be delivered in both your morning and evening routines — without compromising on gentleness for the sensitive eye area.

Place in the CSA routine

In practice, this means a simple routine: in the morning, an antioxidant protects the skin from damage, a sunscreen blocks the radiation that causes this damage, and at night, vitamin A leads the repair process. Products from other categories — cleansing, hydration, eye care — are chosen so as not to interfere with this rhythm.

Active ingredients

The formula is based on ingredients with proven efficacy:

How to use

• 1Apply r-Retinoate® Day & Night Eye Serum morning and evening to cleansed skin around the eyes.

• 3Thanks to the photostability of retinyl retinoate, the serum can be used both during the day and at night.
• 4In the morning, it is recommended to apply sunscreen after the serum to provide the skin with additional protection against UV radiation.
• 5Regular use of r-Retinoate® Day & Night Eye Serum leads to a visible reduction in signs of aging, improved firmness, and brightening of the skin around the eyes, restoring a youthful and radiant appearance.

Vitamin A products should be used exclusively in the evening and introduced gradually—starting with two to three applications per week. Sunscreen is mandatory in the morning, regardless of the season.
