Product Description

Featuring a lightweight, mattifying moisturiser and AHA surface perfector, this 2-step kit from Medik8 will leave you with a visibly balanced, smooth and healthy-looking complexion.

Recommended to be used 2-3 times per week, the Glycolic Acid Activator gently exfoliates and smooths the skin’s surface - helping to aid the absorption of Balance Moisturiser.

When used daily, Balance Moisturiser helps to promote a healthy skin microbiome and a visibly mattified complexion. Perfect for blemish-prone and oily skin types, together this perfect pairing leaves the complexion visibly refined, clarified and ready for the next steps in your skincare and/or makeup routine.

Key Benefits:
Visibly Perfected Complexion
Leaves skin visibly mattified and smooth with reduced redness - ideal for those with blemish-prone or oily complexions.

Supported Microbiome Balance
Helps to balance your skin’s microbiome to reduce blemish-causing bacteria.

Lightweight Hydration
Lightweight gel texture leaves your complexion feeling supple, smooth and hydrated.

Key Ingredients:
Prebiotics & Postbiotics
Supports the production of beneficial bacteria in the skin to help maintain a balanced skin microbiome and a healthy, balanced complexion.

Niacinamide
Also known as vitamin B3, niacinamide has anti-inflammatory properties that work to visibly calm blemish-induced irritation while supporting the skin’s natural barrier for a hydrated complexion.

Beta-glucan
A natural extract derived from oats which helps to comfort and soothe the skin.

Cinnamon Extract
With natural antibacterial properties, it helps to reduce blemish-causing bacteria while also working to balance oil production.

Glycolic Acid
The most powerful AHA, glycolic acid has the smallest particle size of all of the AHAs. Working to break down the bonds between dead skin cells, so that they can be easily exfoliated to reveal newer, fresher skin cells underneath for a visibly smoother, brighter and decongested complexion.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great for oily skin Great moisturiser for oily but simultaneously dehydrated skin!! I use in the morning to help keep oiliness at bay and then total daily moisturiser at night. Very strong citrus smell - I like it but I can imagine may be too much for some.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Balance Moisturiser™ & Glycolic The Balance Moisturiser™ & Glycolic Acid Activator™ are a perfect duo – the moisturiser feels silky and refreshing, while the activator gives a gentle glow. Together they leave my skin smooth, balanced, and beautifully radiant.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I love the moisturizer, use I love the moisturizer, use am and pm. Smells lovely and well absorbed. Think it is working well for blemishes and didn’t create any reaction to my sensitive skin.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Light moisturiser Using the moisturiser in the morning (after Clarifying foam, Press&Clear and Clarity peptides). Feels light and fresh. Using the Glycolic acid activator twice a week. The only downside is that the moisturiser gets used up much more quickly but you can't buy just the moisturiser, so I'll end up with a bunch of bottles of the acid activator after a while. . .

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Better if the 2 products are sold separately Quite like the moisturizer- the texture and smell are nice, glides on the skin easily. The activator I’m not sure about. Would be good if the 2 products were sold separately, as I often order this set, and always end up with several unopened bottles of the Activator, whereas the Moisturizer is used.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good purchase! I tried this for the first time and I like it. The moisturiser smells really nice and it is very light. I like it a lot specially now with the summer coming. The glycolic acid is also good, you wake up with the skin feeling smooth and renewed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I love this moisturiser! It I love this moisturiser! It has a very light texture that leaves you face so smooth. I have combination skin and this cream balances it so well. I totally recommend it. I haven't used the acid yet, but planning to use it soon.
