Vitamin A | Retinol

The Gold Standard of Skincare — Finally Made Easy

Ask any skin scientist or skin therapist what the most proven, most researched skincare ingredient of all time is — and the answer will always be Vitamin A. Retinol and its derivatives have decades of clinical evidence behind them, consistently delivering results that no other ingredient can match for targeting fine lines, pigmentation, uneven texture and skin renewal.

The problem? Traditional retinol has a reputation for causing redness, peeling and sensitivity — putting many people off before they even begin. That's where Dermalogica and Medik8 come in. Both brands have pioneered gentler, smarter Vitamin A formulations that deliver the same powerful results with significantly less irritation — making this the ingredient everyone can finally access.

What Vitamin A does for your skin:

• Accelerates skin cell renewal for smoother, fresher skin
• Visibly reduces fine lines and deep wrinkles over time
• Fades pigmentation and evens skin tone
• Unclogs pores and reduces breakouts
• Firms and thickens skin for a more youthful appearance

Starting out with Vitamin A: New to retinol? Start low and slow — two to three nights per week to begin, always followed by SPF in the morning. Our skin clinicians will guide you through exactly how to introduce Vitamin A into your routine safely and effectively at your next appointment.
