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.

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 congestion. That's why Balance Moisturizer 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.
