Reviews

Gefällt mir sehr gut

"Dieses Combo gefällt mir sehr gut und hat schon seit dem ich das benutze auch was gebracht. Die Haut ist nach dem Glycolic Acid activator ist sehr weich und ebenmäßiger. Die Creme passt auch sehr gut für meine kombinierte Haut. Gerne wieder."

Great duo

"I started using this duo twice a week on my days I take off of my prescription tretinoin. My skin has never felt softer or smoother! Like all Medik8 products I have used, I highly recommend this if you’re looking for some gentle exfoliation!"

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."

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
