Medik8 Rejuvenation Routine (Worth £112)

The Medik8 Rejuvenation Routine is built around the brand's CSA philosophy: vitamin C and sun protection every morning, vitamin A every evening. It is a well-judged starting point for anyone beginning to address fine lines, uneven tone and loss of firmness, and it introduces one of Medik8's most advanced formulas alongside two of its best established.

Daily Radiance Vitamin C covers the morning in one step. It combines 7% tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, a stable and gentle form of vitamin C, with broad spectrum SPF 30, hyaluronic acid and vitamin E. The result is antioxidant protection, brightening and hydration in a moisturising texture that sits comfortably under makeup.

Crystal Retinal 3 takes over at night. It contains 0.03% retinaldehyde, a form of vitamin A that converts to its active state in the skin more efficiently than retinol, so it works effectively at lower strengths with less of the irritation often associated with retinoids. At 0.03% it is the gentlest step on Medik8's retinal ladder, making it a sensible entry point if you are new to vitamin A, with stronger concentrations available once your skin is comfortable.

Exo-PDRN Prismatic+ can be used morning and evening alongside both. PDRN, or polydeoxyribonucleotide, is a DNA-derived ingredient long used in professional aesthetics to support skin recovery. Medik8's vegan Prismatic PDRN is paired with a triple exosome complex, exosomes being tiny vesicles that carry messages between skin cells, plus a growth factor miniprotein and an ATP precursor to support the skin's own renewal processes. Medik8's testing reports improvements in barrier function, tone and luminosity within seven days, and visible improvement in wrinkles and firmness by fourteen days.

Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Please note that Crystal Retinal is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
