The challenge for Medik8 is to make effective ingredients less aggressive without reducing the potency of the action. Medik8 does this in many ways, for example by using film encapsulation, chirally corrected drugs, non-acidic derivatives and proprietary anti-erythema technologies. Of course, the use of active substances such as Medik8 retinol or fruit acids, which cause stinging even in the least sensitive skin, but the pharmacologists of Medik8 have minimized the level of irritation and in some cases made it completely absent.
Medik8 offers products suitable for all skin types, even the most sensitive skin without compromising efficacy, so that Medik8 suitable for everyone. It is a myth that a product designed for sensitive skin will be less effective just because it is less irritating. It used to be wrongly believed that aggressive products that caused significant inflammation gave the best results (the idea was that aggressive products provoked a healing response), but current knowledge, based on recent research, is that excessive inflammation can damage cells with long-term skin damage and can therefore, unintentionally, cause premature skin aging.
Medik8 only uses and formulates proven technologies that really benefit the skin and Medik8 uses chirally correct active ingredients where possible, which are said to be more active and less irritating thanks to the science behind the molecules. Medik8 products are specially designed to suit those with sensitive skin without compromising efficacy.
Medik8 can only be purchased from dermatologists, cosmetic surgeons, specialist skin care physicians, medical clinicians, derma pharmacists, qualified skin care professionals and specialist skin care stores. Skins Unlimited is therefore an authorized seller with trained Medik8 specialists who like all you Medik8 answering questions

Elliot Isaacs, the founder of Medik8. is a graduate of the University of Leeds – Department of Pharmacology and Physiology and son of a pharmacist. In the late XNUMXs, he decided to help his sister who had developed red skin that wouldn't go away. The cream she used appeared to contain the right anti-inflammatory active ingredients, but seemed to cause more irritation than soothe.
Elliot decided to investigate this problem and see if he could make a better product using the small lab in his father's pharmacy. Weeks turned into months and with the eventual success of soothing his sister's redness, the decision was made to manufacture this cream formula. Several years passed before Medik8, to the satisfaction of legal requirements, launched Red Alert® in 2004. Now has Medik8 a complete anti-ageing range that applies the 'results without irritation' philosophy to cleansers, antioxidants, lighteners, retinoids, hydroxy acids, peels and more.
