Any Medik8 treatment, facial or peel, utilises our best technology. Not just proven actives for visible skin improvements, but also a sensorial experience. However there are some differences – a bit like weight-training is different to cardio exercise. There is no reason you cannot mix them up based on the outcomes you want and your lifestyle at the time.

Medik8 is a professional-led skincare brand. This means we are sold predominantly by trained professionals through outlets such as doctors’ offices, medical and premium spas, skin clinics and salons, as well as some premium pharmacies and specialist websites.

Led By Professionals

It is important to us that we remain a professional-led brand, as we use high strength actives and clinically proven ingredients to provide you with amazing results. We believe that to truly provide the very best personal recommendations, requires a personalised skincare analysis with a trained professional or by getting help and advice through hand-picked websites with a professional bias. We will accept nothing less.

In our experience, retail skincare brands tend to have relatively high price tags with beautiful packaging and fragrance but with limited ingredient activity which is just not good enough for us. To be even-handed, many other professional brands lack the consumer appeal of popular brands you can find in the department store. Medik8’s professional skincare line strives to deliver it all: results, professional advice, beautiful packaging, lovely fragrances and textures. Why choose between experience and results, when you can have it all with Medik8?

Why do I need a professional skin therapist?

For the same reasons you visit a dentist or a doctor – qualified and trained skin therapists have expertise in providing tailored recommendations to achieve better skin health. Medik8 treatments are available only through trained professionals. Medik8 registered therapists are intensely educated in basic skin physiology and can successfully analyse your skin and deliver real, visible results with the products and treatments they recommend.

How do we train our therapists?

All training and education starts in our head office in the UK with our Education team. The Education team train the trainers and therapists from around the world via classes, events and webinars. The trainers can then teach therapists in their own countries about Medik8 products and protocols. All Medik8 stockists have to be trained in order to sell Medik8. This means they have attended training and passed assessments so you can be sure to receive the best service possible.

In a nutshell, it’s personal training for your skin. Meet bi-weekly with your very own Medik8 professional therapist who will guide you through 12 weeks of transformative professional peels delivered in-clinic plus beautiful Medik8 at-home care to reveal beautifully transformed skin. We take all the legwork out of it – it’s just like seeing a Personal Trainer at the gym. But for your skin. Check out #Medik8WOW on Instagram to see the latest transformations from around the world.

Proven Science

Medik8 has been a leading professional skincare brand since 2009, so put simply: we know which ingredients work. We are inventors of the CSA Philosophy: vitamin C followed by Sunscreen by day, vitamin A by night. These are the ingredients that have been proven to work across hundreds of studies published in world-renowned skincare and dermatology papers and journals the world over. For us, the evidence is irrefutable.

Better Formulas

Identifying the right ingredients is 1 thing, but making them work their absolute best in the skin is a whole other ballgame. That’s where our incredible, award-winning and patent-holding team of on-site scientists come into their own. As everything is done in-house by us, we know the origin of all our ingredients, blend them in our on-site production facility and finally package and despatch them all ourselves too. Call us cynical, but we just don’t trust anyone else to do it for us. This way, we can stand behind all our products knowing they’re the best they can possibly be.

Stability Stability Stability

We can’t say it often enough. Using the right ingredients just won’t do, unless you can stabilise them. This means the active ingredients remaining at their freshest and most potent throughout the period after opening. Did you know we actively test all of our vitamin A products to ensure the same % of active we know is there at day 1 is there when you use the very last application? Ask another skincare brand if they do the same. You’re likely to get a very different answer.

Best of the Best Therapists

Not only are our retail products first class, but our in-clinic experience is top-notch too. Highly trained skincare practitioners and therapists choose to stock Medik8 in their clinics because they want the very best. In return, we ensure the incredible professionals delivering our professional treatments throughout the world are trained meticulously in Medik8’s protocols and techniques to ensure every experience you have is truly memorable.

Beautiful Skin For Life. Beautiful Planet Forever.

We have upgraded our existing sustainability strategy to a comprehensive 4-pillar framework, addressing key sustainability hotspots for our company so that our customers never have to choose between results, experience and impact on the planet. Our core pillars of Climate Action, Waste Reduction, Ethical Business and Social Investment are underpinned by a clear vision and strong principles which ensure that, as a business, we are always doing the very best by our colleagues, customers, suppliers, animals and the planet.

At Medik8, sustainability is so much more than a ‘nice to have’

We aspire to become a true leader in our category: science-backed, results-driven and sustainability-focused. That is why we always follow sustainability science, not the latest trends, and transparently share our targets and progress. But don’t just take our word for it – we are 3rd party accredited wherever possible. Among our achievements to date, we are already Carbon Neutral verified, use 100% renewable energy to power our offices, manufacturing and distribution centres, and are making major headway in both recyclable and reusable packaging. However, we are relentlessly determined to do more! Our next steps include many bold targets such as becoming Net Zero by 2040, sending zero waste to landfill by 2025, achieving B Corp certification and donating a minimum of £300,000k to a long-term charitable partner between 2022 and 2026. It’s not an easy task and we don’t have all the answers, but we are very excited for the journey ahead and are committed to sharing every step with you.

At Medik8, we believe that true skin health starts with clinical treatments. When expert analysis is combined with professional treatments, the results are pronounced. When professional recommendation is followed with advanced homecare, those results become long-lasting.

Our Approach

Since our launch in 2009, we have made it our mission to outline the most efficient path to skin health for every single client. To this day, that journey has always started with you, our customer.

Our comprehensive education programme is designed to enhance therapists’ existing skills. Through a series of courses, many held at our dedicated training facility in the UK, they constantly build upon their current repertoire; studying advanced protocols and innovative techniques as they work towards gaining the coveted status of a ‘Medik8 Skincare Professional’. This certification is not just an indication of their knowledge, but a universal recognition of their ability to administer treatments that meet the high, results-driven standards of the Medik8 brand.

This ensures that you receive the same high quality treatment in the UK as in Australia as in the Netherlands.

We are truly global in our approach, with a commitment to continuous learning that comes through in the professionalism and care you receive each time you visit one of our official stockists. Have you had the pleasure yet?

In the same way, you can’t rely on personal training alone to get fit and healthy; you need to look at what you’re doing on a daily basis too ie diet. That’s why the combination of both at home skincare and in-clinic treatments will give you the quickest, most noticeable results and help you retain them for longer too.

That’s why we invented our CSA Philosophy – vitamin C followed by sunscreen by day, vitamin A by night. It’s the best way to get the skin you’ve always wanted and runs through our homecare products as well as all of our professional treatments.
