Probiotic Mattifier with AHA Surface Perfector

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.
