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. We were so impressed that we decided to give five Rescu. readers a chance to trial the Medik8 ABC Kit themselves. Now we’ve gathered their feedback so you can see what they thought.
The Products:
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.
Vitamin A – Retinol 3TR helps to improve mottled pigmentation, skin texture, skin tone and colour as well as boosting skin’s hydration levels. 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 – 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.
Vitamin C – 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.
