Reviews

Super

"Top product! Op mijn 27 kreeg ik plots last van acné. Echt heel veel gezichtverzorgingsproducten geprobeerd. Uiteindelijk op advies van mijn schoonheidsspecialiste met Medik8 begonnen. Na 2 weken was alles weg! Wat een top merk. Ik ben begonnen met Medik8 Balance Moisturiser, SOS acne, B5 serum en de nachtcreme. Eindelijk producten die niet vet aanvoelen en werken. Ik gebruik niets anders meer. Tussendoor goedkopere producten geprobeerd maar mijn huid werd weer slecht. Ondertussen gebruik ik alleen nog de Balance Moisturiser overdag en in de nacht het B5 serum icm de nachtcreme intelligent retinol. Ik stap niet meer over."

I've been really impressed with

"I've been really impressed with the Medik8 Balance Moisturiser with Glycolic Acid Activator. After using it consistently, my skin complexion looks and feels much clearer, smoother, and more balanced. The moisturiser is lightweight and hydrating without feeling greasy, and the glycolic acid activator gives my skin a gentle boost, leaving it looking brighter and fresher. I've also noticed fewer breakouts and a healthier overall glow. It's become a staple in my skincare routine, and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a moisturiser that helps improve skin clarity while keeping skin hydrated."

Amazing products

"I use this 3 times weekly and noticed a significant difference after the second week my skin looks smoother and glowing dark spots and minor scars have also faded. I will definitely keep this product in my regime and would recommend it to anyone that deals with the issues I listed you wake up with glowing skin and it lasts for days as with all Medik8 products, this set works wonders"

Perfect daily moisturiser under makeup

"Balance Moisturiser and Glycolic Acid Activator have become staples in my skincare routine. The moisturiser is lightweight, absorbs beautifully and provides lasting hydration without feeling heavy or greasy. The Glycolic Acid Activator is a brilliant addition when my skin needs an extra boost. It leaves my complexion looking smoother, brighter and more refined, while still feeling comfortable and balanced. Together they leave my skin feeling soft, hydrated and healthy-looking. I love how customisable the system is depending on what my skin needs each day, and it layers perfectly with the rest of my Medik8 routine. A fantastic moisturiser that delivers great results and feels lovely to use."

Perfect Summer Routine Moisturiser

"I have been using this one in the summers for a few years now and it doesn't disappoint. The lightweight texture helps keep my skin hydrated in the Mediterranean heat and I love the very light scent upon application."

Kalina K. (5/5)

Excellent!

"I also use the acid treatment twice a week, and my skin looks amazing afterwards. I really like the daily moisturiser — it doesn’t make the skin greasy, but it keeps it hydrated."

Sam (5/5)

Excellent for oily skin

"This was recommended to be by a Medik8 customer rep to help prevent future breakouts. The moisturizer isn’t heavy, absorbs quickly, and I absolutely love the smell. The glycolic acid activator works synergistically with my Press & Glow, Surface Radiance Cleanse and Sleep Glycolic which will all help prevent my sebaceous hyperplasia from returning."

Q&A

The balance moisturiser is great and really should be available to buy on its own. Very disappointed it’s not as it’s the only moisture I’ve found to suit my skin. Listen to your customers and have it available on its own also. I what is the reason it’s not available on its own ?
Hi Sophie, We're very sorry this product cannot be purchased on its own and will ensure all feedback is passed on to our team internally. Thanks,Medik8.
Is it possible to get the balance moisturiser without the glycolic acid? I love this moisturiser but even though I use the activator three times a week I already have two bottles left over. I’m sadly going to have to go elsewhere to find a moisturiser to suit my blemish-prone skin because it’s becoming so wasteful.
Hello Amanda, Thank you for your question. Currently, we do not offer the Balance Moisturiser without the accompanying Glycolic Acid Activator. However, we recommend our Total Moisture Daily Facial Cream, a lightweight moisturiser suitable for sensitive and blemish-prone skin. This product combines with multi-weight hyaluronic acid with ceramides, squalane, and vitamin F to provide hydration, moisture, nourishment, and barrier protection, resulting in plumped and softened skin.Thanks, Medik8 Team
Good morning, I wanted to ask if i can use balance moisturiser after the tonic press&glow in the morning ?
Hello, thanks for your question! Yes, you can safely apply our Press & Glow before using the Balance Moisturiser. Thanks Medik8 Team
Hi. What is the difference between sleep glycolic and this glycolic activator? Are they the same?
Hello Kerry, Our Sleep Glycolic is a at-home peel treatment that uses 10% active glycolic acid to improve skin texture and tone. It's designed to be used a couple of times a week and can help with advanced signs of aging and stubborn skin concerns. Sleep Glycolic is a leave-on treatment that's applied in the evening and left on overnight. The Glycolic Acid Activator an exfoliator that's used 2-3 times a week to smooth the skin's surface and enhance the effects of a moisturizer. It's applied after cleansing in the evening and followed by a moisturizer. Thanks Medik8 Team
If I am using the Sleep Glycolic, should I skip using the Glycolic Activator in this set? I love the mattifying moisturizer so I keep buying it either way. Thanks
Hello Daniel, Using two glycolic products in the same routine may cause skin irritation, so it’s best to apply them on alternate nights. Thank you, Medik8 Team
