A true breakthrough in the field of anti-ageing, this lightweight, fast-absorbing facial serum-cream has bolstered the youth-renewing properties of retinol to unprecedented heights. Utilising eight years of extensive clinical research, the advanced formula harnesses the power of retinyl retinoate, a hybrid molecule that fuses retinol with retinoic acid. This patented, encapsulated molecule is exclusive to Medik8 and exhibits properties of both ingredients, improving the anti-ageing activity of retinol without the irritating side-effects of retinoic acid. Highly efficacious, it increases collagen synthesis and wrinkle repair by up to 8 x more than standard retinol. Plus, unlike many other vitamin A products, it is 100% light stable, meaning it can be used day and night for accelerated results.

5 key activesEncapsulated retinyl retinoate – a patented active exclusive to Medik8 that stimulates collagen synthesis and skin cell turnover to promote younger-looking skin. Proven to be more effective, yet less irritating than retinol, it features time-release technology (TR™) that releases the active into the skin by administering small doses over a prolonged period of time to prevent skin from being overwhelmed.
Vitamin E – this powerful antioxidant targets free radicals to reduce the rate of pre-mature ageing, while boosting the moisture-retention capacity of the skin to promote optimum hydration.
Vitamin C – fights UV-induced free radicals to prevent sun damage and photoageing. Works synergistically with vitamin E to boost overall antioxidant effect.
Hyaluronic acid – draws moisture into the skin to keep it hydrated, supple and visibly plump.
Glycerin – an effective humectant that supports the skin’s natural barrier function to lock-in moisture and protect against environmental damage.
Clinically proven results
Fine lines and wrinkles are visibly softened, pigmentation is visually reduced and the appearance of overall skin surface uniformity is restored.
Skin looks clearer, brighter, revitalised; ultimately more youthful. With continued use, improvements become even more remarkable over time.

Aged skin can be attributed to a multitude of variables. All of which, fall into two separate pathways: intrinsic and extrinsic ageing. The former refers to genetic disposition and the latter speaks to environmental exposure such as UV rays and pollution. Both contribute to a decline in collagen production and the moisture-retention capacity of the skin.
In order to effectively fight against the signs of ageing, Medik8 researchers have developed a core philosophy that offers optimum protection and advanced restoration. Using a powerful combination of potent antioxidants, reparative retinoids and ultra-exfoliating hydroxy acids, it rehabilitates cellular regeneration to smooth away fine lines and wrinkles whilst protecting against future sun damage and pollution.

Dry skin refers to skin that is lacking in oil, whereas dehydrated skin is characterised by a lack of water within the epidermis.
To effectively target the symptoms of a dry, dehydrated complexion, it is essential to replenish the skin’s hydration levels, whilst simultaneously rehabilitating the skin’s barrier function to prevent transepidermal water loss.
Our award-winning range of dryness solutions utilises key humectants such as hyaluronic acid alongside nourishing emollients and moisture-retaining oils to effectively restore the skin’s water levels and keep moisture locked in.
In addition, there is a wide range of premium actives that stimulate the regeneration and healing of the barrier function, enhancing the skin’s natural ability to regulate its own hydration.

All blemishes, from whiteheads to blackheads, are caused by three contributing factors: the overproduction of sebum, the accumulation of dead skin cells and the build-up of specific strains of bacteria.
Through years of extensive research and development, Medik8 has created a comprehensive skincare system that effectively targets all three factors to prevent breakouts whilst nurturing inflamed, irritated skin to its optimum state of health.
With continued use, blemishes are diminished, the healing process is accelerated and post-inflammatory scarring (hyperpigmentation) is reduced. All of which is achieved without compromising the skin’s delicate lipid barriers.

Redness mostly affects people aged between 30 to 50 years old and appears to be more common in fair skin.Source: Rosacea and Rhinophyma, Clinics in Dermatology, February 2014
Red, reactive skin is typically induced by hypersensitivity of the skin, a trait that can be attributed to a severely impaired skin barrier. When the skin’s protective function is diminished, it causes the immune system to overreact to everyday aggressors, and redness ensues as a result of inflammation, the swelling of blood vessels near the surface of the skin and the formation of visible capillaries.
At Medik8, our redness solution range is designed to repair the skin on a cellular level, ensuring that the lipid barrier is restored to its full protective function. This eliminates aggravation from environmental irritants and increases skin density to reduce the visibility of blood vessels and capillaries. Alongside this, we’ve utilised the best calming actives to reduce inflammation and combat swelling within the skin. With continued use, redness is significantly reduced and discomfort in the form of itching, stinging and burning is effectively soothed.

Equipped with teprenone, a patented anti-redness ingredient, it reduces blood flow to alleviate blushing while healing the inner layers of the skin to prevent future flare-ups. The multi-action formula also contains vitamin K to strengthen capillary walls at the site of damage, which in turn reduces the appearance of skin redness. Sore, inflamed skin is instantly soothed and redness is successfully counteracted.
This non-irritating cleanser can alleviate the appearance of hormonal flushing, sun damage and redness caused by sensitive skin.

Redness Corrector™
Advanced Neutralising Cream
A 6-in-1 anti-redness treatment that uses mineral pigments to instantly conceal reactive skin whilst providing long-term relief from aggravation. Armed with a potent, yet deeply-nourishing range of actives, it reduces inflammation, reinforces the skin’s barrier function, minimises immune system overreaction, narrows blood vessels and prevents the formation of capillaries. Sensitivity is significantly reduced and skin discomfort is rapidly soothed.
This colour corrective formula features green pigments to neutralise the appearance of redness.

Skin discolouration, be it dark marks, freckles, melasma or sun damage, is the result of not just one, but several different biological mechanisms. Often caused by UV exposure, hormonal shifts, skin injuries and/or natural ageing, it is a highly prevalent skincare concern that diminishes radiance and promotes a flawed, uneven complexion. As a condition that affects the epidermis and dermal layers, it is notoriously difficult to treat, but Medik8’s extensive research has birthed a powerful range of advanced pigmentation solutions that effectively target all causes of discolouration while boosting skin luminosity to promote a clear, radiant visage.

White Balance® Click Oxy-RUltra-Brightening Serum
A fast-absorbing, depigmenting serum with a smooth, cashmere consistency. Centred around an infusion of high-performance, patent-pending Oxy-R (oxyresveratrol), it has been shown to significantly improve uneven skin tone, promoting a luminous complexion whilst preventing the appearance of future dark marks. To fully preserve the strength of this powerful formula, the active is kept in a separate chamber and is released at the point of first use by the unique click mechanism. Perfect for those with sensitivities to kojic acid and/or hydroquinone, the non-irritating formula also nourishes skin by providing immediate hydration.
Oxy-R at 0.5% is the highest amount of oxyresveratrol ever stabilised in a product.
White Balance® ClickIntense Brightening Serum
A silky-soft brightening serum containing kojic acid to significantly minimise the appearance of uneven pigmentation concerns. Applied regularly, this powerful skin brightener improves overall skin tone whilst preventing future dark marks. Enforced with the Medik8 Click™ Delivery System, the active is kept separate from the rest of the formula until the very first use, guaranteeing optimum activity over the recommended period of use. Skin is left visibly brighter and more radiant.
“I suffer from hyperpigmentation and scarring, and this product has made such an enormous difference to my skin!” Ashleigh, Medik8 customer

Multi-level hydration is just as important for the body as it is to the face and neck. Without a proper bodycare regime, skin can become dry, cracked and devitalised. This is particularly apparent around the legs, arms and feet. Daily application of an intensive moisturiser is essential to keeping the body soft, supple and visibly nourished, so Medik8 has developed a deeply-restorative body cream that rehydrates, locks in moisture and softens skin.
As we mature, the skin’s natural hydrators begin to decline, leading to drier, more dehydrated skin.
Hydr8™ BodySkin Rehydration Formula
A rich body cream that boasts intensive nourishing properties. With a fresh, silky texture that melts effortlessly into the skin, it instantly restores suppleness and softness while providing deep hydration to combat dryness in the long-term. Perfect for dull, dry skin and relieving sunburn, it intensely conditions and rehydrates with superior moisture control thanks to our trademarked Moisture Magnets™. Hydr8™ Body has a light, fresh fragrance and leaves skin revitalised with a natural glow.
Blend a few drops of your favourite Medik8 serum with Hydr8™ Body to tailor your own personal bodycare routine to your specific concern.
