How Curatory Credit works

Why I chose it

Retinal can be particularly useful for fine lines around the eyes, but the formula and strength need to be appropriate for this more delicate area.

What Medik8 has done well is combine progressive retinal strengths with ceramides and hydrating ingredients. This makes it easier to introduce the product gradually and use it consistently over time.

How to introduce it

After cleansing in the evening, apply a rice-grain-sized amount around each eye, avoiding the eyelids and lash line.

If you haven’t used retinoids before, use it twice weekly for two weeks, then every other night for two weeks. If your skin is comfortable, you can then use it every night. If you’re already using a topical retinoid, you can start using this every other night.

Use sunscreen every morning. Do not use if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding or trying to conceive.

More about Medik8

Medik8 develops and manufactures virtually all of its products at its ISO-certified innovation centre near London. Its in-house scientists focus on formulation, stability and ingredient delivery rather than following a trend simply because it is popular.

That work is visible across several of its best-known ranges: the progressive Crystal Retinal strength ladder; C-Tetra serums built around a stable form of vitamin C; its research into peptide combinations and delivery; and high-quality daily sunscreens designed to make reliable UVA and UVB protection easier to use consistently. The products do different jobs, but they share a useful principle: thoughtful formulation should help proven ingredients fit into real routines.
