Description

Why Medik8 Night Ritual Vitamin A?

This advanced night cream uses time release technology to deliver the Retinol gradually in the skin to reduce potential irritation.

Retinol helps the skin to look younger by stimulating collagen and refining the skin.

It also helps to decongest pores and regulate sebum production for a clearer looking complexion. The night cream is also non-comedogenic, making it suitable even fore oilier skin types.

This formulation has been enhanced with Dragon Fruit, Arginine, Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin E to round out the benefits.

Medik8 Night Ritual Vitamin A ingredients

The key ingredients in Medik8 Night Ritual Vitamin A cream are:

Retinol is  one of the most researched and proven anti-ageing ingredients in skin care. It’s known for improving the look of uneven tone, texture and wrinkles.

Dragon Fruit is a potent antioxidant that protects the skin from free radical damage. It also has been found to support the skin’s ability to repair and renew itself. Dragon Fruit contains natural sugars called polysaccharides that visibly firm the skin and help it retain moisture. This extract is derived from the flowers, which only bloom at night.

Hyaluronic Acid attracts moisture to the skin and helps keep it there, creating a plumping effect. It also increases the skin’s protective barrier so that the skin is better able to retain water and defend itself against external aggressors. A skin that’s well protected and hydrated is better able to generate new, healthy cells.

Arginine is a soothing ingredient that promotes skin healing and repair, while also helping to rejuvenate the complexion. This amino acid protects against free radicals, improves hydration and may also support collagen production.

Vitamin E is an oil-soluble antioxidant that prevents damage caused by free radicals, which wreak havoc by stealing electrons from your cells. The Vitamin E also stabilises the Retinol to maintain its potency.

Medik8 Night Ritual Vitamin A review

This was recommended to me by my facialist last year after I experienced some really horrible breakouts. Having never used vitamin A cream before, I was hesitant, as my skin is incredibly sensitive… I absolutely loved this as an introduction to retinol products. I noticed a significant difference in the texture of my skin after using this consistently for a few weeks. I would definitely recommend it to those wanting to introduce retinol into their routine but aren’t sure where to start.
