One non-negotiable for me when shopping for skincare is a hardworking, potent ingredient list. As someone with dry, dehydrated, and lacklustre skin, I’ve tried countless brands, only to realize that vitamin C, retinol, and hyaluronic acid are absolute essentials in my routine. My current obsession? Medik8. Known for its dermatologist-recommended formulas and clinically proven results, this brand had me hooked from the first try.
Loved by beauty editors, skincare experts and celebs, you can't scroll without seeing a hint of Medik8 on your FYP - and it's for good reason. Many beauty brands cross my desk but only a select few become a staple in my regular beauty arsenal. The Medik8 ethos is to keep skincare simple and effective with specific ingredients, and I've discovered it works to maintain radiance and hydration in my skin.
After introducing a hardworking vitamin C serum, retinal and daily SPF into my routine, I would never look back. My dull skin has never looked better and I'm totally addicted to the radiance it provides.

Medik8 Rachael Martin, beauty director, says: 'When I first read the claim that expression lines could improve within 10 minutes? I rolled my eyes. The beauty industry loves a bold statement- and more often than not, it’s just hot air. But after trying this for the first time around three months ago, I genuinely noticed a difference. Almost instantly. The creases around my mouth and the lines on my forehead looked smoother and more blurred. Placebo? But no- the clinical research here speaks for itself, and the thousands of five-star reviews only reinforce it.'
