Medik8 is a leader in the creation of active anti-ageing skin care serums, and at Rescu. when a product knocks our socks off, we want to shout it from the rooftops!
As our mantra around here is ‘expert advice’ and we knew we were on to a winner when we saw the professional credentials behind this brand. When we speak to dermatologists and skin care experts, they are unanimous in their agreement that anti-ageing is a multi-step approach. The basics that any program that is focused on results include: good cleansing and exfoliation to help to speed up cellular turnover, amping up the hydration levels and protecting the skin with super anti-oxidants.
Medik8 is the first green cosmeceutical skin care range, formulating skin care products without any irritating ingredients and no parabens. Medik8 goes 3 steps further with their unique and potent ‘ABC’ of skincare plan. Ladies, it’s time to get serious.
Vitamin A:
As we age, our cells get lazy and cell turnover slows down. The visible result is dull, tired looking skin with little glow. Applying Vitamin A helps to speed up cell turnover to dramatically diminish the depth and size of existing lines and wrinkles and lift sagging skin to revive the youthful luminous radiance in the skin.
Rescu. Roadtest:
Retinol 3TR also helps to improve mottled pigmentation, skin texture, skin tone and colour as well as boosting skin’s hydration levels. Our road-test revealed results from the very first application. This product is used every second night for the first month and then can be used every night for skin so fresh and revitalised, you will simply never go back to another night treatment.
Vitamin B:
Most of us suffer from skin dehydration. No matter if our skin is dry or oily, over time and particularly once we hit our mid 20’s, our skin produces less Natural Moisturising Factors to help bind water to the skin.
Rescu. recommends:
Medik8’s powerful hydrating facial serum Hydr8 B5 Gel helps to re-establish the skin’s natural hydro-balance for an improved skin texture, suppleness and luminosity. It contains hyaluronic acid, capable of connecting great numbers of water molecules to the skin cells’ binding sites, resulting in softer, suppler and more youthful feeling skin.
Bonus: Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) known for its wound-healing properties works with vitamin C in the repair of sun-damaged skin. Pantothenic Acid also assists in fighting acne-associated infections by helping to build up antibodies and is great to use with acne prone and problem skin.
Vitamin C:
Just as we know how important it is to protect our skin with sunscreen from the outside, it is vital to also protect your cells from the inside. Damaging sun exposure, smoking and other environmental insults are responsible for the damage created to our cells. Whilst we can reduce these attacks by applying good protection, we also have to shield our cells from inside.
Rescu. Loves:
Medik8’s highly potent Vitamin C serum, C-Tetra. C-Tetra helps trigger collagen production, helps increase the skin’s elasticity and density as well as improve the skin’s texture. and brighten the complexion.
Expert advice:
Dr Elliot Issac, Medik8 founder and skin expert says “C-Tetra is in my opinion the biggest advance in topical skincare probably in the last five years. C-Tetra is using advanced delivery technology to ensure, this antioxidant can reach the target.”
