Only available for sale to customers living in the UK and Ireland - Restore clarity to blemish-prone and congested skin - An oil-free pore minimising moisturiser providing a mattifying base for a shine-free complexion - Continuous hydration without clogging pores - Anti-inflammatory propertiesMedik8 Balance Moisturiser + Glycolic Acid Activator   Click here to read Molly's review of the Balance Moisturiser Balance Moisturiser contains an optimised combination of active ingredients to provide continuous hydration and anti-inflammatory properties whilst controlling shine and oil production. This daily moisturiser works with the skin’s natural mechanisms to maintain hydration levels whilst ensuring a mattifying effect. A powerful formula containing prebiotics and probiotics to stimulate the balance of the skin; helping to eliminate blemish-causing bacteria and therefore minimising acne outbreaks. Cinnamon extract promotes a clear complexion; regulating sebum levels and boosting defences to prevent future breakouts. ● Prebiotics/Probiotics: prebiotics stimulate the growth of probiotic organisms. These can help to balance the skin’s  bacteria levels and decrease acne causing bacteria. ● Niacinamide: also known as Vitamin B3; retains essential moisture. Exhibits an anti-inflammatory action, whilst  reducing redness and irritation. Assists with exfoliation, preventing pore blockages, which can lead to blemishes. ● Beta-Glucan: Beta-Glucan assists in skin renewal, supporting the skins natural defence mechanisms. Topical  application reduces the risk of infection and maintains good skin health. ● Cinnamon Extract: regulates sebum production and prevents bacteria proliferation, helps to reduce acne lesions, and promote a blemish-free complexion You can now supercharge the benefits of Balance Moisturiser by applying the Glycolic Acid Activator™ beforehand. This resurfacing booster gently exfoliates the upper layers of the complexion, enhancing the absorption of the moisturiser for maximum results. Just apply a few drops across the face and neck 2-3 times a week.  Glycolic Acid Activator is used to supercharge the power of Balance Moisturiser. The powerful AHA is applied before the probiotic moisturiser 2-3 times a week (or less depending on your skin's sensitivity), and works to dissolve bonds between dead skin cells so they can be gently exfoliated away. This allows Balance Moisturiser to penetrate deeper into the skin, targeting the freshest skin cells with its blemish-busting actives. Key Ingredients: Prebiotics & Probiotics – Maintaining skin balance through enhancing good bacteria and limiting the bad, pre and probiotics promote a healthy, blemish-free complexion. Niacinamide – Otherwise known as vitamin B3, this soothing anti-inflammatory quickly reduces redness and irritation surrounding the blemish, while regulating sebum production to prevent blocked pores. beta-Glucan – A natural extract from oats, beta-Glucan enhances the skin’s ability to repair itself and provides immediate comfort to inflamed skin. Cinnamon Extract – A natural antibacterial, cinnamon extract helps to limit blemish-causing bacteria, while also balancing the skin’s oil production. Glycolic Acid – A powerful AHA, glycolic acid helps to visibly resurface and exfoliate the outermost layers of skin, to leave a brighter and clearer complexion. Size: 50ml Directions: Suitable for acne, oily, and combination skin types. After cleansing and applying serums or treatments in the morning and evening, apply a small amount of Balance Moisturiser and blend evenly across the face, neck, and décolletage. For boosted performance and exfoliation, optionally use Glycolic Acid Activator 2-3 times a week. After cleansing in the evening, apply 4-6 drops to the face, neck, and décolletage. Once dry, apply Balance Moisturiser. Do not mix Glycolic Acid Activator and Balance Moisturiser directly. If using a serum, apply Glycolic Acid Activator before, and Balance Moisturiser after.

I thought I'd give this a try as I normally use Jan Marini Bioclear glycolic light cream morning and night. I have used the glycolic activator with the Medik8 Balance Moisturiser twice a week and the moisturiser twice daily and it is just as effective as the Jan Marini, less of a price tag. I will probably switch between the two so my skin doesn't get too used to just one product.

This moisturiser has worked well so far and hasn't caused any new breakouts. It smells amazing too! Having the glycolic acid to use a couple of times a week is great too. The only issue I've had is because the moisturiser is quite thick, I've found my spf pills if I put it on afterwards. But for an evening moisturiser it's ideal.

A lovely moisturiser leaving a matt finish on your face. A little goes a long way. I would definitely recommend it.

Have been using this moisturiser for the last year and I love it. Very light and you don’t need to apply a lot.

First time used on my problematic dry bushy breakout prone skin .. now it’s completely clear . I use most of their other products so I’m shocked it took me so long to try this. It was recommended by their online skin technician
