What do you use a retinal serum for?
A retinal serum is usually chosen to make the skin appear smoother and more even. Many people use it for visible signs of skin aging, dull skin, uneven texture, or more noticeable pores. If you want to specifically target pores, choose targeted pore-refining products from Medik8.
How do you choose the right serum?
In this category, it's best to look at two main things: your experience with retinoids and how sensitive your skin reacts to active skincare. Those starting out typically do better with a gentler introduction. Those already accustomed to Medik8 vitamin A can build up more specifically within a stronger level. If your skin is more sensitive or you want a milder introduction, consider Night cream with retinol. New to vitamin A? Read Retinol for beginnersfor practical tips on building up and frequency.
- For beginners: choose a lower entry level and build up gradually.
- For experienced users: only choose a higher strength if your skin tolerates previous retinoids well.
- For the eye contour: use a serum specifically developed for the sensitive skin around the eyes.
- If in doubt: seek advice, so that your product and usage time are well matched.

How to use a retinal serum wisely
Retinoids are typically used in the evening routine. Start a few times a week rather than daily, and give your skin time to adjust. During the day, good sun protection is a logical addition to any routine with vitamin A. For example, choose Medik8 sun protection (SPF).
