Customer testimonial, My Story
Eventually, I made friends with Retinol.
Truth be told, I don’t exist in this quest for youthful and radiant skin. My goal is to take care of myself with as minor damage as possible to the habitat I live in.
With the advancement of skincare technology, the market is flooded with brands claiming to turn back the clock, and this is extremely scary to me.
Questions come: where do they get their ingredients from? How and where do they process the ingredients? What’s the technology behind it?
Retinol has emerged as an assertive ally in the fight against aging, and the Medik8 R-Retinoate Intense Youth Activating Cream harnesses the potential of Retinol and a carefully curated blend of ingredients to provide an effective at-home solution for skin rejuvenation.
Retinol, a vitamin A derivative, is a skincare superstar with many benefits. It stimulates collagen production, enhances skin cell turnover, and benefits the overall skin texture; it is a valuable ingredient for those seeking to address the signs of aging. Whether in your twenties or approaching forty, incorporating Retinol in your skincare routine can yield remarkable results.
Retinol is crucial. As we age, the natural production of collagen and elastin, proteins responsible for maintaining skin’s firmness and elasticity, begin to decline. This loss results in the formation of wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin. Retinol’s role in boosting collagen production helps counteract these effects, leading to smoother, firmer skin.
Shani Darden Skin Care Retinol Reform was my first retinol goodie, and I started using it once a week, only in my evening skincare routine. The results were so good that I became courageous, and I began trying different brands selling Retinol as a single ingredient. As long as I remember applying my sun protection factor the following day, my skin will be best friends with Retinol.
While relocating to the UAE, I traveled with Medik8 R-Retinoate Intense Youth Activating Cream. These days, I use the cream two times a week, mostly in my weekend evening skincare routine, as part of my “weekend re-charge routine.” It’s an amazing feeling waking up on Monday morning with soft, plump, baby-like skin that radiates before you brush your teeth.

Medik8 R-Retinoate Intense comes in easy-to-travel, black, elegant packaging and is easy to use.
Describing smells can be subjective and challenging, and Retinol creams typically have a distinct odor that can be defined as slightly medicinal, earthy, and sometimes mildly chemical. Some might detect a hint of a slightly sweet (Shani Darden’s Retinol has a sweet scent) or slightly metallic scent, similar to the smell of other skincare products or cosmetics. It’s important to note that different retinol creams can vary in terms of scent due to variations in the formulation and the presence of other ingredients that might influence the overall aroma.
To me, Medik8 R-Retinoate Intense smells of spring, and, depending on my period calendar, some evenings, I feel I am using fresh orange juice on my face as retinol cream.
If you’re considering using a retinol cream, it’s always a good idea to read reviews or test the product, if possible, to better understand its scent and how it might personally affect you.
As I approach 40, the question of maintaining youthful skin becomes more prominent. Medik8 R-Retinoate Intense has offered me a convenient and effective solution, eliminating (for the moment) the need for frequent beauty salon visits.
I could not find Medik8 R-Retinoate Intense in the UAE stores. And this is a shame, as this brand deserves more attention. If you live in the MENA region, you can order it directly from the Medik8 website.
Introducing Retinol in your skincare routine represents a significant step towards achieving radiant and youthful skin.
In Medik8 R-Retinoate Intense, I found a trusted partner in my skincare regimen. Its blend of ingredients ensures I enjoy this efficient ingredient’s benefits without compromising skin health. Should you choose a personalized at-home solution for wrinkles, acne, or hyperpigmentation, try Medik8 R-Retinoate Intense at least once a week; it is worth every penny.
