If you love serious skin care products, you will love this range of professional strength skin care products. Medik8 is a British 100% professional and cosmeceutical skincare line, perfect for even the most sensitive of skins. Medik8 are innovators in the use of peptide and antioxidant technologies as well as high doses of multiple vector botanical extracts. A firm believer in results driven products without the fads and false claims, Medik8 only use proven technologies that provide real skin benefits and that are backed by scientific reason and clinical research. Lines include products for the face, body and anti-ageing as well as the ground-breaking line of antioxidants and Pretox, a viable alternative to anyone not wanting to take the steps of injectables and muscle-relaxants.
I have been lucky enough to sample a few products from this line and not only do the products deliver the results that they promise, they are incredibly easy to use. I know that most brides, when they ask me for skincare advice want results, but do not want to spend too much time on complicated routines which take too much time. These products are easy to use, do not take a lot of time at all and best of all give great results! I also think that the price of these products is excellent for the quality of the ingredients used.
Medik8 Hydr8 Pro-Collagen Hydrator SPF 25
Hydr8 Pro-Collagen Hydrator SPF 25 (£49.00) is the Medik8 flagship total hydration formula containing advanced, clinically tested ingredients in proven concentrations designed to provide cellular protection and hydration, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and reducing the visible signs of ageing.
The ingredients and benefits: All Hydr8 products contain the enzyme superoxide dismutase which is a powerful antioxidant; plus Pre-SPF® Ectoin® and Vitamin A Palmitate.
The skin’s own cellular DNA and Langerhans cells are protected from ultraviolet radiation induced damage and consequent premature ageing.
Also containing powerful anti-oxidation, anti-ageing and general moisturisation ingredients, but priced for daily use.
How to use: Apply twice daily to clean dry skin – if you are using the Hydr8 B5 Skin Rehydration Serum (see below), apply the serum first and then this product on top.
The above moisturiser is fantastic but if you want to increase the results even more, than layering a serum under your moisturiser will help you to achieve this. We all need to use a moisturiser suitable for our own skin type, but serums are amazing to use under your moisturiser as a serum will work on a deeper level within the layers of your skin.
The Hydr8 B5 Skin Rehydration Serum(with Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin B5) is brilliant as all skin types can use this product – for anti-ageing results, use this before your moisturiser and for oily or acneic skins, you could use this as a standalone product at night, as it is oil-free gel which will help to re-balance your skin.
The ingredients and benefits: Hydr8 B5 has been designed to improve moisture levels within the skin. Contains skin-softening vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) and moisture-enhancing hyaluronic acid to quench your skin and provide 24 hours of nonstop hydration.
Light-weight and non-greasy gel formulation to effectively hydrate, relieve and restore moisture balance in both dry and oily skin types.
Contains Pantothenic Acid, also known as vitamin B5, which effectively enhances the skin’s moisture-retention capacity as well as promoting skin rejuvenation and wound healing. Pantothenic Acid is also a powerful anti-inflammatory and an anti-itching active, helping to soothe stressed irritated skin.
Hydr8 B5 also utilises the power of Hyaluronic Acid, which is capable of holding up to 1000x its own weight in water and hence helps to restore critical moisture to dehydrated skin, increase skin’s suppleness and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This clear, oil-free gel transforms your skin by re-balancing its moisture levels and maintaining hydration for up to 24 hours. Hydr8 B5 absorbs immediately, leaving skin feeling silky smooth and entirely quenched with moisture. Can be used day and/or night to soften and smooth the skin or for optimal renewal and protection of the skin – price £34.00.
