Prebiotics & Postbiotics
Help to maintain a balanced skin microbiome by supporting the production of beneficial bacteria in the skin. In doing so, they support a healthy and balanced complexion.
Niacinamide
Also known as vitamin B3, it boasts anti-inflammatory properties to visibly calm blemish-induced irritation while helping to regulate oil production.
Beta-glucan
A natural extract derived from oats which helps to soothe and comfort the skin.
Cinnamon Extract
With natural antibacterial properties, it helps to limit blemish-causing bacteria while also working to balance oil production.
Glycolic Acid
With the smallest particle size of all the AHAs, glycolic acid is the most powerful. It works to break down the bonds between dead skin cells, so they can be easily exfoliated away to reveal fresher, newer skin cells beneath. The result is visibly brighter, smoother and decongested skin.
Step 1
After cleansing in the morning and evening, apply Balance Moisturiser evenly across the face, neck and décolletage.
Step 2
For exfoliation and boosted performance, use Glycolic Acid Activator 2-3 times a week. After cleansing in the evening, apply 4-6 drops to the face, neck and décolletage. Once dry, apply Balance Moisturiser.
NOTE: Apply products separately, do not mix Glycolic Acid Activator and Balance Moisturiser directly.
How do I use Balance Moisturiser & Glycolic Acid Activator?
Apply a pea-sized amount to face and neck after serums have fully absorbed. Use upward, outward motions. Suitable for morning and evening use.
What does glycolic acid do for the skin?
Glycolic acid is the smallest alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), allowing deep penetration to exfoliate the skin surface. It helps improve texture, fade hyperpigmentation, and stimulate collagen production. Start with lower concentrations and always use SPF, as AHAs increase sun sensitivity.
What is the Medik8 CSA Philosophy?
Medik8 is built around the CSA Philosophy: vitamin C in the morning, Sunscreen every day, and vitamin A (retinol) at night. This three-step framework addresses the most evidence-backed pillars of skin health — antioxidant protection, UV defence, and cellular renewal.
How often should I use this cream?
Use twice daily as the final step of your routine (before SPF in the morning). Your skin may need a richer formula at night.
