Review

I began using the medik8 balance moisturiser as part of my morning and evening routine everyday while using the glycolic serum that comes with it every other day and I have noticed a drastic improvement in my skin texture. I have found that the moisturiser has a mattifying effect and helps to reduce the amount of oil produced throughout the day which also helps my makeup to stay on longer.

The balance moisturiser contains Niacinamide which helps to retain essential moisture, reduce redness while also preventing the clogging of pores and prebiotics/probiotics that help to balance the bacteria levels in the skin to decrease acne causing bacteria

The glycolic serum every other night which helped to resurface my skin and improve the texture and even out my skin tone.

It has a light and silky feel when applied which is perfect for an oily/combination skin and has a citrus/orange - like scent that makes you feel fresh.

I have found that after just a few weeks of using this moisturiser I don’t breakout as often and when I do they are much less severe.
