Reveal a visibly smooth, balanced and healthy-looking complexion with Medik8's lightweight, mattifying moisturiser and AHA Surface Perfector.

Glycolic Acid Activator (for use 2-3 times per week) gently exfoliates and smooths your skin's surface to help aid the absorption of Balance Moisturiser.

Daily use of Balance Moisturiser then visibly mattifies and helps to promote a healthy skin microbiome - perfect for oily or blemish-prone skins looking to balance the look of their complexion.

Together this pairing leaves skin visibly refined, creating the perfect base for the rest of your skincare regime and makeup application.

KEY INGREDIENTS

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.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE FORMULA

Delivers a healthy-looking complexion with an instant matte finish.

DANIEL ISAACS Chief Product Officer

A key part of maintaining healthy skin is caring for the skin's microbiome (the protective barrier of bacteria living on its surface). Changes in pH, hydration and environment can all affect the balance of the microbiome.

An unbalanced microbiome can lead to common skin concerns such as dryness, irritation and the formation of blemishes. That's why Balance Moisturiser is expertly formulated with pre and postbiotics to support a balanced skin microbiome. The two work in synergy to help the skin regain its natural balance.
