Discover Medik8...
Founded in 2009 by Elliot Issacs in a tiny lab at the back of his dad’s pharmacy. With Elliot’s Pharmacology and biochemistry knowledge the brand was born, creating products that combine research and innovation. Outstanding developed products with ground-breaking formulas.
Using their end-to-end in-house system to achieve the perfect batch every time. Medik8 have worked hard to ISO certified for both cosmetic manufacture standards and quality management standards. All formulas and active ingredients created at Medik8 must have data backing their effectiveness and/or be clinically tested.
At gorgeous shop.com we love the Medik8 balance moisturiser with glycolic acid activator, the activator hydrates skin while mattifying greasy skin for a controlled oil production. Pioneers of cutting-edge product technologies in skincare. Truly bespoke products, designed by in-house scientists and researchers.
Innovative, effective, and researched skincare products.
