A common misconception of the past has been that superior results occurred when skin was inflamed by an aggressive product (based on the logic that the aggression instigated a healing response by the skin).

In actuality, current research shows that extreme inflammation can lead to cell damage resulting in long-term damage to skin and even early signs of ageing skin

The Medik8 4 Step Protocol

Medik8 believe that skincare should be gentle, simple to use and effective. With this in mind they have designed the Medik8 4 Step Protocol. The 4 steps are:

Step 1 - Cleanse
Cleansing is one of the most important steps and is fundamental to your entire skincare regime, not only will it help maintain healthy skin it also enhances the reception of creams and other active ingredients to the skin.

Step 2 - Prevent
Preventing free-radical damage to the skin’s collagen and elastin matrix is a must in any anti-ageing regime. The Prevent range includes revolutionary antioxidant based products that help to trigger collagen synthesis, increase elasticity and improve skin’s texture whilst brightening the complexion and preventing photo-ageing, fine lines and hyperpigmentation.

Step 3 - Correct
The Correct range is an innovative collection of treatment products that are formulated to diminish existing fine lines and wrinkles and revive skin’s youthful radiance. Highly stable forms of all-trans-retinol help to repair collagen damage whilst melanin inhibitors and telomere extenders help prevent hyperpigmentation and redness.

Step 4 - Hydr8
A good skincare regime must include the basics of hydrating and sun protection. Adequate levels of hydration for the skin are crucial, not only will well hydrated skin age at a slower pace it also shields itself better from environmental stresses such as UV light, pollution and free radicals. Correct levels of hydration within the skin can result in smoother and plumper skin. The Medik8 Hydr8 products incorporate a unique Moisture Magnet agent that helps keep skin hydrated, Hydr8 day also contains an SPF25 to provide protection from harmful UV rays.

In addition to the 4 steps detailed above Medik8 offer the Pretox and Body ranges that can also be incorporated into the 4 Step Protocol:
