Is the Medik8 Night Ritual Vitamin A™ Cream suitable for all skin types?

1,000 times yes! Our retinol night cream is the next generation of its predecessor — with a higher 0.2% concentration that has been innovatively formulated to activate and release the powerful ingredient and ensure your skin can readily accept it with minimal irritation. This makes it the perfect option to rely on — whether you’re a first-time or experienced retinol user or have sensitive skin, you can restore the look and feel of your skin without compromising on its efficacy.

How often should I use this product?

If this is your first introduction to using a night cream with retinol, welcome! For the first 2 weeks, we suggest using it twice weekly before gradually increasing your application to every second night to daily once your skin can accept and adapt to this powerful ingredient.

Can I use this Medik8 retinol night cream with other skincare products?

Yes, you can use Medik8’s retinol night cream with other skincare products, but it’s important to do so carefully. Avoid using acids (like AHAs or BHAs) on the same night as retinol — acids exfoliate the skin while retinol accelerates cell turnover, so using them together might lead to over-exfoliation, redness, irritation, sensitivity and dryness. Instead, alternate nights to keep your skin balanced and healthy. This method allows you to enjoy the benefits of retinol and other actives while maintaining a well-rounded skincare routine.

How do I use this product in my nighttime skincare routine?

Our retinol night cream is optimised to be a key step in your evening skincare routine, typically applied after your serums. We’ve lovingly formulated our Medik8 Night Ritual Vitamin A™ Cream with occlusive ingredients to seal in the active compounds for maximum effectiveness. After cleansing and applying a gentle serum like hyaluronic acid, smooth on the Vitamin A cream. This routine helps you wake with a plumper and smoother-looking complexion.

Can I use Medik8 Night Ritual Cream in the morning too?

We recommend keeping our retinol night cream in your evening routine as it can increase your sensitivity to the sun, potentially leading to irritation, redness or even sunburn. Retinol accelerates skin cell turnover, making the fresh layer of skin more vulnerable to UV damage. For effective protection and an anti-ageing solution, we always suggest incorporating a Medik8 sunscreen to shield your skin from harsh UVA and UVB rays that can cause irreversible damage.

Are there any side effects to using the Medik8 Night Ritual Vitamin A™ Cream?

We use a mild time-release formula that ensures our retinol night cream is both incredibly effective and gentle on the skin. As retinol is a strong active ingredient, people with sensitive skin may find their demis to be a little drier when starting out. Common side effects include dehydration, redness or slight peeling as your skin adjusts to the active ingredient. However, once your skin acclimatises and adapts to our retinol cream, you will be rewarded with supple skin, reduced texture and most importantly, wrinkles that start to appear less defined. If you experience persistent irritation, it may be best to reduce usage or consult with a dermatologist.

How long does it take to see results from using this product?

With regular and consistent application of our retinol night cream, it can take several weeks to start seeing beautiful skin for life.

Is Medik8 cruelty-free and vegan?

Absolutely — Medik8 and our suppliers are completely cruelty-free. We carefully formulate our products using proven vegan ingredients, so you can enjoy greater peace of mind knowing you don’t need to compromise your lifestyle choices.
