Medik8 is a company with scientific roots. They describe their products as ‘Skincare Biotechnology’ which is rather easy on the ears when you’re introduced to a new brand; instantly you feel you can rely on them. So what is this skincare like and what kind of skin are these products best for?
The brand was born from Elliot Isaacs, the son of a chemist, when he set out to create a better skincare solution for his sister’s stubborn redness. In doing so, successfully, he dedicated his accomplishment to manufacturing the miracle cream to others… and it all went from there. Luckily for us; the Medik8 team boast a combined 40 years of cosmeceutical experience and are dedicated to their high-quality products, using special ingredients to specifically target different problems of the skin. These include redness, dryness, anti ageing, blemishes, dark circles and body care, too.
Medik8 use actives in their product formulations as a result of high level research, care and understanding; including Vitamin C & A, hydroxy acids and sunscreen; to give you the best, well-looked after skin you can achieve.
I recently got my hands on the clayMask Pore Refining Mask (£27) which helps reduce the appearance of pore size and leaves your skin feeling fresh and purified. The nature clay-rich mask helps to absorb excess oil and is infused with antioxidants to help skin rejuvenation and has anti-ageing benefits too. It is non-setting so it is soft on the skin to remove, and is gentle enough even on sensitive skin, but effective enough to get results.
Use this once weekly (or more often if desired) after cleansing. Apply a thin layer and allow to work for about 10-15 minutes. Wipe or rinse off with water. Hello glowing skin!
