Medik8 is different in many ways but most importantly, we are absolutely passionate about liberating skincare users from choosing between great results and an uplifting, authentic and beautiful experience. With Medik8, you can have both.


BEAUTIFUL SKIN FOR LIFE

This is Medik8’s ultimate mission. To help people maintain healthy, beautiful skin.

How do we achieve Beautiful Skin for Life – it's easy, just follow our unique CSA philosophy.


CSA WHAT IS IT?

This CSA method is becoming more and more mainstream by the day and we couldn't be happier. Just use a vitamin C plus sunscreen by day, vitamin A by night. That's it. If you look after your skin and follow our simple advice, we believe you can look 40 when you’re 50.


VITAMIN C

Well formulated, stablised vitamin C provides all-important antioxidant protection and helps visibly improve the appearance of excess pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles for smoother and brighter skin. Apply vitamin C in the morning for an all-day urban shield against everyday environmental factors which can cause skin ageing.


SUNSCREEN

It is estimated that 80% of skin ageing is caused by the sun. Sadly, skin damage caused by the sun doesn’t only happen when it’s sunny. If it is light out, it means the sun’s rays can still reach you. Even on a cloudy day, you will still get approximately 50% of UV reaching your skin. Wearing high-strength sun protection every day is fundamental for a youthful complexion. With its importance in mind, Medik8 have a range of beautifully light but powerful sunscreens that protect and nourish the skin. Don’t worry, our high-tech Medik8 sunscreens do not feel sticky and greasy like those used at the beach. More likely, you'll probably not even realise your sumptuous day cream contains sunscreen.


VITAMIN A

As the Experts in vitamin A (aka retinol), Medik8 has developed a wide range of night creams and serums to rejuvenate skin while you sleep. Vitamin A is quite simply the most important ingredient in anti-ageing skincare. It has a wealth of skin benefits including speeding up cellular renewal and reducing sebum production. It is crucial that Vitamin A is stabilised and has some form of controlled-release to ensure maximum potency with minimal irritation.


Vitamin C + Sunscreen by Day, Vitamin A by Night.

Anti-ageing skincare doesn’t need to be complicated - in fact, it shouldn’t be. Following their simple CSA philosophy will help improve the tone and texture of your skin; leaving it healthy and youthful-looking.


SKINCARE YOU LOVE, TRUST & BELIEVE IN

Medik8’s promise is to create beautiful products you will love to use, trust in, and be proud to recommend.
