Medik8's original entry retinol: 0.3% time-release retinol in a minimal jojoba formula of just nine ingredients. Simple, effective, and the most affordable way onto the vitamin A ladder.

Key actives Retinol·Vitamin E
When to use Evening only, before moisturiser
How it works

A pared-back nine-ingredient formula: 0.3% retinol released gradually overnight from a jojoba oil base, with vitamin E for stability and antioxidant support. No fragrance, no essential oils, nothing it does not need.

Who it suits

First-time retinoid users, and anyone who wants the simplest possible retinol formula, including very selective skin. Not for use while pregnant or breastfeeding.

How to use

Evenings only. Massage 3 to 4 drops into clean, dry skin, starting two nights per week and building to nightly over a month. Follow with moisturiser.

Layering

Apply to dry skin before moisturiser. Keep acids to different nights and wear SPF every morning.
