Medik8 Intelligent Retinol™ 3TR Serum (0.3%, 15 mL)

Description

Medik8 Intelligent Retinol 3TR 15ml is a performance-enhanced vitamin A night serum formulated with 0.3% retinol, climbazole and Medik8’s unique Time Release Technology. The Medik8 Intelligent Retinol 3TR is the entry-level strength in the Intelligent Retinol range — ideal for those new to retinol or upgrading from a lower-strength vitamin A. Climbazole is a proven retinol booster that enhances retinol activity by blocking the enzymes that break down retinoic acid in the skin, delivering the power of higher percentages without additional irritation. J. Adamus et al., International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2017. Time Release Technology gradually delivers retinol throughout the night for sustained results and maximum skin comfort.

Why Choose Medik8 Intelligent Retinol 3TR

Intelligent Retinol 3TR is the recommended starting point for retinol beginners or those stepping up from Medik8’s original Retinol 3TR. The addition of climbazole makes it more effective than a standard 0.3% retinol serum without increasing irritation risk. When ready, progress to Intelligent Retinol 6TR for increased strength.

Medik8 Intelligent Retinol 3TR Key Benefits

• 0.3% Retinol with Climbazole Booster — climbazole enhances retinol activity without increasing irritation, delivering the visible power of higher retinol percentages at a gentler strength. J. Adamus et al., International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2017.
• Time Release Technology — retinol is gradually released into the skin throughout the night for prolonged, sustained results and reduced irritation potential.
• Visibly Smooths Fine Lines and Wrinkles — retinol supports collagen production and prevents its breakdown for a visibly smoother, more youthful complexion over time.
• Refines Skin Tone and Texture — retinol reboots the skin’s natural exfoliation cycle to improve the appearance of uneven texture, dullness and pores.
• Nourishing Squalane Base — squalane restores the skin’s natural defence barrier, deeply moisturises and helps stabilise retinol for long-term efficacy.
• Vitamin E Antioxidant Protection — tocopheryl acetate provides additional free radical protection and boosts retinol stability.

Intelligent Retinol TR Strengths — Which Should You Choose?

All three Intelligent Retinol serums contain climbazole and Time Release Technology. Start with 3TR (0.3%) if you are new to retinol. Progress to 6TR (0.6%) once your skin has adapted. Move to 10TR (1%) for maximum retinol strength. If you are unsure which strength is right for you, book a consultation with our clinical team at 118 Baker Street.
