How they work & Ingredients:

C-Tetra is a revolutionary ultra-stable vitamin C serum which helps combat sun-induced damage to the skin, trigger collagen synthesis, increase the skin’s elasticity and density as well as improve the skin’s texture and brighten the complexion. Contains 3% Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorabte, the most potent and highly stable derivative of vitamin C available. It’s designed for both men and women in their mid-20s to 40s. The benefits of C-Tetra are discussed in great detail on the Medik8 website. Hydr8 B5 Contains skin-softening vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) and moisture-enhancing hyaluronic acid to quench your skin and provide 24 hours of non-stop hydration, pantothenic Acid - improves the moisture-retention capacity of the skin and stimulates skin regeneration and wound healing. It has an anti-inflammatory and anti-itching effect.
Medik8 only use all-trans-retinol, the most bio active form of cosmeceutical Retinol available. Retinol 3TR™ contains 0.3% retinol, for direct application to the skin. It is delivered to the skin in jojoba carrier oil, which has properties similar to those of the skin’s natural oils and contains high levels of vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc and vitamin B complex. As with other Medik8 retinol products, Retinol 3 TR is boosted with additional vitamin E in a molecular film base. Medik8 Retinol products use a novel Time-Release system to reduce the level of stinging that is very commonly reported by users of standard retinol products. It works by releasing active molecules over time rather than in one big 'hit'. The skin receives the same dose of retinol per application but spread out over hours not minutes. While people with sensitive skin may still find Retinol produces some stinging at first, the degree of sensitisation is markedly reduced.

Hailed as “the magic wand of skin care”, the new Medik8 Titanium Dermaroller is a fast and effective answer to all your skin concerns whether they are wrinkles, scars, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, cellulite or stretch marks.

Simple in notion and convenient for use, the Medik8 Titanium Dermaroller is designed to gently penetrate the top layers of your skin without causing damage or bleeding. This accurate and minimally intrusive penetration has two benefits for your skin...

Firstly, it allows for much higher absorption of topical formulations, such as Medik8 serums and creams, leading to a significant increase in their efficacy.

Secondly, it works with Medik8 serums to trigger the skin’s natural healing response, leading to new collagen
production and a firmer, tighter looking skin with diminished lines and wrinkles.

Medik8 Titanium Dermaroller is constructed from pure titanium for a sharper edge and a virtually pain-free treatment experience. Medik8 microneedle rollers benefit from a comprehensive treatment protocol with compatible Medik8 products including vitamin C and retinol.

• Swedish-engineered titanium needles,giving a finer and much more durable edge, eliminating excess irritation caused by ordinary steel needles.

• Gold-plated to ensure a hygienic non-pitted surface with the aim of improving the treatment results, while ensuring user health and safety.
