FAR MORE THAN HYDRATION. As we all know by now, dry skin can happen at any time. Everyone, regardless of age, knows what it feels like; whether you’ve spent all day in an air-conditioned office, gone for a walk on a cold day or just had a chemical peel. Sometimes it can feel like however much #moisturiser you put on, it’s simply not enough to combat dryness. That’s why, in true Medik8 fashion, we wanted to go beyond simply fixing 'dryness' and created our solution for comprom...ised skin: Recovery. - NEVER-ENDING NOURISHMENT Our recovery solution is all about deep, long-term nourishment and care. We believe in taking the time to care for your complexion and bringing it back to full health. Our solution is also absolutely perfect for reducing downtime after chemical peels and other aesthetic treatments. - H.E.O.® FRAMEWORK We tackle both dehydrated (lack of water) and dry skin (lack of oil) head-on with our smart formulations; feeding the skin with moisture and helping to block water loss. You'd be forgiven for thinking that all bases are the same when it comes to moisturising but this is not correct. At Medik8, we use our trademark H.E.O. framework to define the correct ratios of these key building blocks. This framework has been crucial in creating some of our award-winning moisturisers and it could not be simpler... Hydrators + Emollients + Occlusives = H.E.O.

TO PEEL OR NOT TO PEEL? A question we are being asked more and more is "should my skin peel when using vitamin A?" and as the #ExpertsInVitaminA, we wanted to give you the lowdown... - IF I DON'T PEEL, IS SOMETHING WRONG? Our vitamin A products are designed to be gentle but effective, so the majority of people won’t experience any redness/peeling if they slowly phase Medik8 vitamin A into their routine and use the appropriate strength. Incredibly that includes all of our Inte...lligent Retinols as well as our extremely powerful,11 times faster Crystal Retinal franchise where we've managed the potential side effects with ingenious crystal encapsulation. If you have not peeled or experienced any redness/tingling when using vitamin A it is not indicative of whether or not the product is working. Whether your skin peels or not is entirely dependent on your skin condition. And not everyone even experiences these symptoms of 'retinization' as it is known. - For more information, check out our latest blog post here: https://www.medik8.com/blog/will-vitamin- a-make-my-skin-peel or tell us about your experiences with vitamin A in the comments below. . . . . . #Medik8 #BeautifulSkinforLife #ExpertsInVitaminA #SkinPeeling #VitaminA #AntiageingExperts

VIT C & SUNSCREEN BY DAY, VIT A BY NIGHT. The Medik8 #CSAPhilosophy is fast becoming mainstream, and today we wanted to tell you all about the invention of our core philosophy... - SCIENTISTS AT HEART We approached beauty as outsiders. We are scientists at heart so our first step was to establish which ingredients and technologies make the most difference to skin ageing. With this approach, we wanted to develop the simplest routine with only the minimum number of products req...uired so that everyone could adopt our philosophy to give skin the biggest bang for its buck. - THE LIGHTBULB MOMENT Way back in 2009, when the Medik8 professional skincare line was developed, our founder, Elliot Isaacs, went on a skincare mission. Delving through scientific articles, published journals, and following real-time treatment outcomes seeking the answer to one simple question: What was the simplest way to help people get Beautiful Skin for Life? He found that vitamin C, sunscreen and vitamin A were the most credible, well-researched ingredients with the most evidence to show that they really do work on the skin. We coined the term "CSA Philosophy" to describe the routine which incorporates these three key ingredients. - CSA TODAY It is unbelievably heartwarming to see that our #CSAPhilosophy is now being adopted by the forward-thinking beauty press. Even a decade since we first introduced it, they are really helping spread the word on our skincare crusade. Recently The Stylist Magazine featured the importance of CSA based skincare. We couldn't be prouder.😳 - Have you got all three steps in your skincare routine? What are you missing?

CRYSTAL-LEVEL STABILITY. Retinaldehyde is notoriously unstable when exposed to oxygen, light and heat. If left to its own devices it would lose its potency within a month. At Medik8, we always go the extra mile to stabilise all of our exceptional active ingredients. In Crystal Retinal, we encase our retinaldehyde into a patented crystal delivery system that protects the sensitive active; shielding it from harm's way. - CRYSTAL ENCAPSULATION Our retinaldehyde is encapsulated i...nside a crystalline molecule called cyclodextrin. It has a water-loving exterior, and a water-hating interior, inside which snugly fits water-hating retinaldehyde. Retinaldehyde isn’t very soluble in water, so the cyclodextrin helps it to easily dissolve in water-based creams. The cyclodextrin also physically protects the retinaldehyde: like a warm hug protecting you from the world. This combats oxygen and free radicals trying to steal retinaldehyde’s power. - TIME RELEASE VITAMIN A On the skin, the crystal-encapsulation is broken down by your natural skin enzymes. This slowly but surely infuses retinaldehyde into your skin overnight. The vitamin A is released gradually while you sleep, helping to minimise any irritation associated with vitamin A. And now with 4 strengths to choose from, the benefits of retinaldehyde can be enjoyed by everyone. - Stabilising and minimising irritation; maybe crystals really are a girl's best friend? Have you added this particular crystal into your skincare collection yet? . . . . . . #Medik8 #Retinaldehyde #Crystal #ExpertsinVitaminA #CrystalRetinal #Retinal #VitaminA #AntiageingExperts #AntiageingSerum #Cosmecutical

Medik8's Crystal Retinal™ featured on ITV's This Morning today! #Breakthrough
Discover more about the next generation vitamin A at www.medik8.com/crystal

CRYSTAL RETINAL NOW AVAILABLE IN 4 STRENGTHS. "The Best Anti-ageing Serum 2018" as awarded by the UK Cosmopolitan Beauty Awards is now available in 4 strengths. Even the most sensitive of skin can now benefit from the next generation of vitamin A with brand new Crystal Retinal 1 and Crystal Retinal 3. - TWO NEW STRENGTHS Featuring 0.01% and 0.03% crystal-encapsulated retinaldehyde, Crystal Retinal 1 and 3 complete the family. The new gentler strengths allow your skin to get u...sed to vitamin A slowly to minimise any irritation. For those brand new to vitamin A, or who have tried mild retinol formulas, we would recommend you start on Crystal Retinal 3 and work your way up the ladder. If you’re already a seasoned retinOl user, you can hop on up to Crystal Retinal 6 and start there. And if you have exceptionally sensitive skin, begin on Crystal Retinal 1 and make your way on up the ladder. - NEXT GENERATION VITAMIN A The next generation vitamin A, retinaldehyde, is one step closer to clinical grade vitamin A than traditional retinol, and is proven to work up to 11x faster*. That means quicker, better results on the skin to help stimulate cellular renewal and collagen synthesis for visibly smoother, more youthful-looking skin. Retinaldehyde has even been proven to be the only form of vitamin A with a direct antibacterial action, making it ideal for tackling pesky, blemish-prone skin. - SOFTLY HYDRATES With multi-weight hyaluronic acid, and a patent-pending stabilisation system based on organic carrot seed oil, this peachy-toned cream-serum gently hydrates and visibly rejuvenates. Pair any strength of Crystal Retinal underneath a nourishing night cream like Advanced Night Restore, and always remember your vitamin C and sunscreen the next morning to keep your skin protected. - Welcome to the family, 1 & 3.

SPOTLIGHT ON r-RETINOATE. The original breakthrough in the By Medik8 collection, r-Retinoate® Youth Activating Cream, is the published next-generation retinoid. - DAY & NIGHT VITAMIN A?! This may be the understatement of the year, but r-Retinoate took a lot of work to create. 8 years of research and an exclusive collaboration with a Korean superlab was needed to get this revolutionary product created, but boy, was it worth it. The innovative active, retinyl retinoate, is so p...restigious is was awarded the Presidential Award by the Korean Ministry of Health! And its encapsulated form is exclusive to Medik8 formulations. Amazingly, the next generation retinoid can be used day and night as retinyl retinoate (like most of us) is happy in sunlight. Oh, and without the same level of irritation that many suffer from retinol, retinyl retinoate is proven to deliver astonishing results from just 4 weeks according to the British Journal of Dermatology*, and requires no phase-in. - STRAIGHT FROM THE LAB 🔬 We asked Daniel Isaacs, Director of Research at Medik8, how the freshness of retinyl retinoate is guaranteed in every single bottle: 📣 “All ingredients are skilfully mixed in our UK labs. To ensure continued pre-manufacture freshness of our exclusive active ingredient, retinyl retinoate, it is frozen at -20ºC and flown by specialist air freight in cryogenic containers from the development facility in Korea. It is then stored in our special freezers until it is blended precisely into the finished formula creating a powerful yet beautifully elegant cream-serum: maximising anti-ageing results in every single bottle.” - The power of retinol is now available for all skin types; even sensitive, day and night.

Our mission is to demystify anti-ageing skincare, and we believe the secret to Beautiful Skin for Life is as easy as vitamin C plus sunscreen by day and vitamin A by night.

1% RETINOL WITH SUPERCHARGED HYDRATION. The eagerly awaited Retinol 10TR+ Intense is now in stock. The powerful serum features our Time Release system which is intelligently designed to ensure even distribution of our 1% retinol serum across the skin. Cleverly crafted, retinol is paired with vitamin A booster, climbazole, and nourishing squalane for maximum results, without any extra irritation. - MAXIMUM POWER The majority of #retinol serums on the EU market don’t go above 1...%. To take things to the next level, we have boosted our 1% retinol serum with climbazole; an exceptional molecule with the ability to supercharge retinol’s power. Retinol must be converted into retinoic acid in the skin to produce its anti-ageing effects. Climbazole is able to block the breakdown of retinoic acid in your skin cells, leaving a reservoir of vitamin A goodness to feed the skin. That means better results and a comfortable skin feeling. - SQUALANE DRENCHED HYDRATION With a silky squalane oil base, Retinol 10TR+ Intense locks in moisture to avoid the potential dryness sometimes associated with retinol use. The olive-derived #squalane helps to replenish gaps in your skin’s natural protective barrier for deep nourishment. - WHEN SHOULD I USE 10TR+ INTENSE? This fast-absorbing serum is perfect for those who have already been using Retinol 6TR or 6TR+ Intense in their regime and are looking for a higher strength, or who want to boost the results of Retinol 10TR. We wouldn't recommend this if you haven't used retinol before. Instead, you can opt for Retinol 3TR+ Intense and work your way up through the ladder to the higher strengths. - Boosted with climbazole and based in nourishing squalane; are you converted to our Intense range of retinol serums yet?

CLICK TO BRIGHTEN. With our hero #pigmentation serum, luminosity is simply a click away. Patented oxyresveratrol (Oxy-R) technology fuels White Balance Brightening Serum, tackling areas of hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. Hydroquinone-free, the lightweight serum glides over the complexion, infusing 10 powerful brightening actives into the skin for beautiful radiance.
PATENTED TECH Our Brightening Serum is jam-packed with some truly clever tech. None more so than our pa...tented Oxy-R. Naturally occurring in mulberry extract, it cleverly inhibits the enzyme (tyrosinase) responsible for forming melanin. In fact, it is 32 times better at blocking tyrosinase than kojic acid*. And yes, you guessed it, less melanin production means that #hyperpigmentation is less likely to occur.
RADIANT SKIN IS A CLICK AWAY The innovative Medik8 Click™ delivery system keeps the stabilised Oxy-R separate from the rest of the actives until it's time to deliver radiance. The formula is crafted into two little 10 ml bottles, so there is no chance of the formula becoming unstable. With just a click and a shake you’re ready to go with your bottle. As the Oxy-R plunges into the vitamin C infused serum below, the formula will turn a yellow colour, indicating it is ready to use. Use it up within 6 weeks for optimal potency, and then start on your second bottle afresh.
Combine with rigorous application of sunscreen every day and watch your hyperpigmentation begin to visibly fade. Have you tried it yet?

We cannot stop reading this review on GLAMOUR UK for r-Retinoate Intense 💙. Here are some of our favourite parts from their resident skincare junkie's article... - "First thing to note is the packaging, which looked very sophisticated and slick in its glossy black exterior." - "The next morning, I rushed to the mirror to assess my face and the pessimist in me was prepared for the worse. However, my reflection revealed quite the opposite with zero peeling, no flaking and no dr...y patches. Nothing but glowing, radiant skin." - "My mind is legit blown. The best thing, however, is how potent the product is with zero irritation. All I can say is this gets the double thumbs up from me. I think I may have just found my Holy Grail."

NMF EXPLAINED. Hydr8 B5 Intense is the most sophisticated multi-weight hyaluronic acid serum we have ever made. It amplifies, stimulates and protects HA in the skin. But it does more, with added NMF.
NMF WHAT? Many of you have been asking; what on earth is NMF? While it might sound like a band from the '90s, it stands for Natural Moisturising Factors and it represents a cocktail of water-loving molecules which are naturally present in the skin. These factors bind and hold m...oisture. They keep the skin flexible and soft, and help to maintain proper function of skin enzymes while balancing natural pH.
WHAT MAKES UP NMF NMF molecules are made up of sodium PCA, glycerin, urea, proteins, sugars, amino acids, lactic acid, hyaluronic acid, creatine and more. Cleansing, hot showers and other skin stresses can seriously deplete your skin’s natural resources of NMF. Disrupting the levels of NMF is ultimately a factor in causing dry, flaky, scaly and cracked skin. Hydr8 B5 Intense helps to replenish your skin’s NMF layer (by directly adding them back) to prevent water loss and keep your complexion hydrated, smooth and healthy for the long-haul.
NMF correctly formulated is great. When it's combined with a multi-weight hyaluronic acid serum, results are staggering.

£25,000 TO LAUNCH THE ZIPPER FOUNDATION. Many of you will know that our office dog and friend Zipper passed away recently and today we are announcing the launch of our official Medik8 charity (in his name) to support the causes we care about (more info on www.medik8.com/zipper). - TODAY 200 DOGS' LIVES SAVED Our first project, in memoriam, was a £10,000 donation to Humane Society International - www.hsi.org, to save nearly 200 dogs, literally from death row after they worked ...with a farmer to close a dog farm in South Korea. As part of the agreement, the farm will never work with animals again. Zipper's last act will be to save some fellow dogs from the barbaric dog meat trade. - HOW OUR £10,000 WILL BE SPENT Today's cheque will pay for food, supplies, boarding costs, medical and behavioural treatment for all of the 200 dogs being rescued from a dog meat farm. - THE HISTORIC FARM CLOSURE The South Korean dog meat farm is situated around 2 hours outside of Seoul, and alternates between dog meat farming and puppy milling. The conditions the dogs live in are nothing short of horrific. Barren cages, lack of appropriate food and water, emaciated dogs and little to no protection from brutal winter conditions. We are so proud of our involvement in this powerful closure and hope it's a huge leap forward in the battle against the barbaric dog meat trade. - NEXT PROJECTS In 2018/19 we have a further £15,000 to spend. This budget will be distributed to charitable projects in 4 areas; Animal, Rainforest, Ocean and Mind. Each year we will donate a minimum of £15,000. - More about the foundation to follow in the next few days. Or please see our website www.medik8.com/zipper where all is explained.
