Buy Medik8: results-oriented skin care for every skin

Medik8 is een professioneel huidverzorgingsmerk dat actieve ingrediënten combineert met formules die prettig in gebruik zijn. Bij Skins Unlimited vind je een breed assortiment Medik8 producten, van reinigers en exfolianten tot vitamine C-serums, peptiden, hydraterende crèmes, zonnebescherming en verschillende vormen van vitamine A. Daardoor kun je een routine samenstellen die past bij jouw huidtype, huiddoel en ervaring met actieve skincare.

The products have been developed for a variety of skin needs, including fine lines, loss of firmness, pigment spots, a dull complexion, impurities, large pores, redness, dryness and dehydration. You can opt for a simple basic routine or combine several targeted products, as long as the build-up remains calm and the skin is sufficiently protected and hydrated.

Why choose Medik8 skin care?

Medik8 is best known for targeted formulas with well-known active ingredients. Instead of making a routine unnecessarily complicated, you can select products based on what your skin actually needs.

• Vitamin C: is used during the day to make the skin look brighter and more even and, together with SPF, is an important part of the morning routine.
• Vitamin A: including retinol, retinal and retinyl retinoate, is used to visibly improve skin texture, fine lines and uneven skin tone.
• Peptides and hyaluronic acid: support a hydrated, smooth and resilient appearance of the skin.
• AHA and BHA: help remove dead skin cells, keep pores clean and make the skin look smoother and fresher.
• Daily SPF: protects the skin against UV radiation and helps prevent new signs of premature skin aging and pigmentation.

The Medik8 CSA Philosophy

The Medik8 CSA Philosophy forms the basis of many of the brand's routines. CSA stands for vitamin C and sunscreen during the day and vitamin A in the evening. This clear approach focuses on clarifying, protecting and renewing the skin.

1. During the day: cleanse the skin, apply an appropriate vitamin C product and finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen.
2. In the evening: reinig de huid opnieuw, gebruik een geschikte vorm en sterkte van vitamine A en eindig met een verzorgende nachtcrème.

Naast deze basis kun je een product toevoegen voor een specifieke behoefte, zoals extra hydratatie, pigmentvlekken, roodheid, onzuiverheden of de huid rond de ogen. Zo blijft de routine overzichtelijk en voorkom je dat te veel actieve ingrediënten tegelijk worden gebruikt.

Medik8 Crystal Retinal and other vitamin A products

One of the brand's best-known products is Medik8 Crystal Retinal. Retinal, also called retinaldehyde, is a form of vitamin A that is one step closer to retinoic acid in the conversion pathway than retinol. Crystal Retinal is available in increasing strengths, so that both beginners and experienced vitamin A users can choose a suitable variant.

Ben je nieuw met vitamine A of heb je een gevoelige huid, begin dan met een lage sterkte en bouw het gebruik geleidelijk op. Gebruik het product in de avond en draag overdag altijd een goede SPF. Op onze pagina over Medik8 retinol and retinal you can read more about the different forms, strengths and how you can incorporate these products into your routine.

How do you build a good Medik8 routine?

An effective skin care routine doesn't have to consist of many steps. Start with the basics and only add an additional product when you know that your skin tolerates the current routine well.

Medik8 morning routine

1. Cleanse the skin with a cleanser that suits your skin type.
2. Apply a vitamin C serum or other targeted serum.
3. If necessary, use a moisturizing day cream.
4. Finish every morning with SPF 30 or SPF 50.

Medik8 evening routine

1. Remove make-up and sunscreen and cleanse the skin thoroughly but gently.
2. Use an exfoliant or vitamin A product according to the recommended build-up schedule and not necessarily on the same evening.
3. Apply a hydrating serum when your skin needs extra moisture.
4. Finish with a restorative or nourishing night cream.

Is Medik8 suitable for sensitive skin?

A suitable Medik8 routine can also be put together for sensitive skin. The right product choice and a slow build-up are more important than a large number of steps. Start with a mild cleanser, a hydrating or soothing serum, a simple cream and daily sun protection. Add active ingredients such as acids or vitamin A one by one and reduce the frequency of use when the skin becomes tight, red or flaky.

Vegan-friendly and not tested on animals

Medik8 indicates that the products have been vegan-friendly since 2019 and do not contain any ingredients of animal origin. The brand does not test its end products on animals and does not have such tests performed on the company's behalf.
