One of our most popular brands is being reviewed today, and it’s Medik8! We love all their products, and this week, we have each selected our favourite to tell you about. But first, I want to tell you why I decided to stock Medik8 in the clinic…
Firstly, Medik8 is known for its high-quality skincare products that are backed by scientific research and formulated with carefully selected ingredients. Their products are designed to target specific skincare concerns, such as ageing, acne, hyperpigmentation, and sensitivity, using innovative technologies like stabilised vitamin C, retinol, and advanced peptide complexes.
Medik8 also emphasises clean formulations, free from artificial fragrances, parabens, and sulphates, which is a MUST to gain a spot on our shelves! Aside from giving great results, we love Medik8’s ethical and environmental ethos – which, you can read about here.
But for now, let us show you our favourite Medik8 products…
Meg’s Medik8 Product Review 
“Everyone wants clear, glowy skin, but sometimes, you just can’t be bothered taking the time and going through all the steps to achieve this. And if this is you, then the Medik8 Overnight Sleep Glycolic Peel is a product you’re going to love.
This peel works overnight, at-home with enhanced results from true 10% encapsulated glycolic acid which is slowly released into the skin. It fades the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. This peel is also great for helping to decongest problematic blemished skin. In fact, I put this on my 13 year old daughter once a week and it really helps to clear up the little congestion bumps she gets to her forehead and chin, without stinging or feeling hot on her young skin.
If you have an event coming up, and can’t make it into a skin care clinic, then Medik8 Sleep Glycolic is a great solution.”

“I really didn’t know anything about Medik8 before we starting stocking it in the clinic – now I’m converted!!! I have SO MANY favourites from this range! While I LOVE the cleansers (yes all, they really are great) I’m choosing the Crystal Retinal range for this review. What I like about this range is the well considered formulation that offers a retinaldehyde version of vitamin A at a reasonable price with the option to increase the strength in an easy to follow way. Yes, that was a mouthful sorry. You simply start at level 3 strength (level 1 if you have sensitive skin) and work your way up every few tubes you use.
The beauty of retinaldehyde is that it’s the strongest version of vitamin A you can use while still having minimal side effects. After this strength you’re using pharmacy prescription versions that are more likely to irritate your skin. It’s a lovely cream, smells okay, glides on and lasts quite a long time considering the size of the tube. If you’re wondering which vitamin A to get started on I’d recommend this hands-down.
Now, I did say I have SO MANY favourites and this includes the moisturisers, serums and masks also. I really like the ethos behind this brand. Everything is considerate, from production to packaging to the product ingredients. If you love environmentally friendly but want the results then this is the brand to try.”

Zoe’s Medik8 Product Review
“I added Medik8 Clarity Peptides to my regime recently and I must say it has very quickly become one of my go-to’s.
As someone who struggles with occasional breakouts and uneven skin tone, I was eager to give this a go after reading about some of the impressive ingredients. The blend of active peptides and salicylic acid works wonders in promoting a clear complexion, while targeting blemishes and breakouts. I found that this powerful combination not only helped clear up existing spots but also prevented new ones from forming, leaving my skin noticeably smoother and healthier.
This peptide-serum is light-weight and absorbs very quickly into the skin. I love that it doesn’t give you the sticky/tacky residue feeling afterwards, making it perfect for layering under makeup or other skincare products.
I also love that it comes in a skinny long tube that you can dispense the perfect amount out, (remembering a little goes a long way) and doesn’t take up too much room in your bathroom!
Considering the visual improvements in my skin’s clarity and texture, I highly recommend Clarity Peptides for anyone seeking an effective solution for breakouts, blemishes, and uneven skin tone. Whether you are dealing with occasional spots or persistent skin concerns, this peptide-serum could just very well be the game changer you’ve been looking for.”

Sophie’s Medik8 Product Review
“When thinking of my favourite Medik8 product, their Hydr8 B5 serum is the first thing that comes to mind – it’s been a total game-changer for my dehydrated skin! Hydr8 B5 is a superstar when it comes to hydration. I mean, seriously, it’s like a magical elixir for thirsty skin. The hyaluronic acid works wonders to draw and lock in water within every layer of my skin. When I apply it to damp skin, it instantly feels like it’s taking a big sip of water – so refreshing! Fun fact: Hyaluronic acid can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water! I was mind-blown when I heard that!
One of the things that really impressed me is how it tackles my fine lines and wrinkles. I know I’m still young, but prevention is key, right? Well, this serum has my back! It helps reduce the appearance of the fine lines that have started to form around my eyes, leaving my skin looking youthful and glowing.
The best part is how quickly it gets absorbed into my skin. No sticky residue or waiting around forever – it sinks right in, leaving my face feeling velvety smooth. And as a bonus, it’s oil-free, so no worries about clogging pores or causing breakouts. It’s a win-win!
But wait, there’s more! Vitamin B5 is another hero in this formula. It not only helps with moisture retention but also encourages my skin cells to renew and revitalise. So not only am I hydrated, but my skin is also on its way to becoming a glowing goddess – thank you, Medik8 Hydr8 B5.”
