FAQ

QUESTION:

I have always used high street skincare products (cleanse/tone & moisturise), but I am interested in trying Cosmeceutical products to get better results.

I have very sensitive skin and early signs of ageing . Even just cleansing my face with wipes causes my face to go very red and sting.

which brand and which products do you suggest?

please note I haven't got a huge budget!

 ANSWER:

It sounds like you have a damaged skin barrier. First of all you need to repair the skin barrier.

So we need to build up your products slowly. start by a gentle cleanser & moisturiser.

I think medik8 would be a good brand for you with regards to your budget.

 The best medik8 products to repair lipid barrier are :

 medik8 red alert cleanser  & medik8 redness corrector

Then when the skin barrier is better work up to introducing a vitamin C serum (medik8 C Tetra) for collagen production. Get back in touch and I can advice you then.
