Product Description

Featuring a lightweight, mattifying moisturiser and AHA surface perfector, this 2-step kit from Medik8 will leave you with a visibly balanced, smooth and healthy-looking complexion.

Recommended to be used 2-3 times per week, the Glycolic Acid Activator gently exfoliates and smooths the skin’s surface - helping to aid the absorption of Balance Moisturiser.

When used daily, Balance Moisturiser helps to promote a healthy skin microbiome and a visibly mattified complexion. Perfect for blemish-prone and oily skin types, together this perfect pairing leaves the complexion visibly refined, clarified and ready for the next steps in your skincare and/or makeup routine.

Key Benefits:
Visibly Perfected Complexion
Leaves skin visibly mattified and smooth with reduced redness - ideal for those with blemish-prone or oily complexions.

Supported Microbiome Balance
Helps to balance your skin’s microbiome to reduce blemish-causing bacteria.

Lightweight Hydration
Lightweight gel texture leaves your complexion feeling supple, smooth and hydrated.

Key Ingredients:
Prebiotics & Postbiotics
Supports the production of beneficial bacteria in the skin to help maintain a balanced skin microbiome and a healthy, balanced complexion.

Niacinamide
Also known as vitamin B3, niacinamide has anti-inflammatory properties that work to visibly calm blemish-induced irritation while supporting the skin’s natural barrier for a hydrated complexion.

Beta-glucan
A natural extract derived from oats which helps to comfort and soothe the skin.

Cinnamon Extract
With natural antibacterial properties, it helps to reduce blemish-causing bacteria while also working to balance oil production.

Glycolic Acid
The most powerful AHA, glycolic acid has the smallest particle size of all of the AHAs. Working to break down the bonds between dead skin cells, so that they can be easily exfoliated to reveal newer, fresher skin cells underneath for a visibly smoother, brighter and decongested complexion.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Better if the 2 products are sold separately Quite like the moisturizer- the texture and smell are nice, glides on the skin easily. The activator I’m not sure about. Would be good if the 2 products were sold separately, as I often order this set, and always end up with several unopened bottles of the Activator, whereas the Moisturizer is used.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good purchase! I tried this for the first time and I like it. The moisturiser smells really nice and it is very light. I like it a lot specially now with the summer coming. The glycolic acid is also good, you wake up with the skin feeling smooth and renewed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I use the acid activator I use the acid activator twice a week at night and the balance moisturiser everyday in my morning routine, neither have a reaction to my skin and make my skin look brighter and even toned. Would definitely recommend!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I love this moisturiser! It I love this moisturiser! It has a very light texture that leaves you face so smooth. I have combination skin and this cream balances it so well. I totally recommend it. I haven't used the acid yet, but planning to use it soon.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Really like this! I have Really like this! I have a slightly oily T Zone but never thought about if there was anything that might help with it. The slight citrus scent of the moisturiser is lovely, and it's very hydrating (I wasn't sure it would be but it is) and the texture going on the skin is very nice. The Glycolic acid is good, I had to figure out how to layer it with the crystal retinal but now I alternate each evening to use them both. I'm definitely seeing a difference already, sometimes I need to wait a month or so to confidently comment on how something affects my skin but within a couple of days I saw a difference.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from More great products from Medik8. More great products from Medik8. Medik8 seems to work so well with my oily/blemish prone skin. I have tried so many other brands that have failed miserably, but I can honestly say that my skin continues to improve daily with Medik8.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from By far the best moisturiser By far the best moisturiser I’ve ever used. Mattifying without being drying and I wake up with smooth skin and not being oily! The glycolic activator is brilliant when used once or twice a week. Would love the moisturiser to be sold separately as I’ll run out of that before the glycolic! Would definitely recommend.
