What should be included in a good Medik8 evening routine?
Start with cleansing, then add targeted treatment, and finish with appropriate hydration. Vitamin A can be an important evening step, but the right strength depends on your skin and experience.
How do I safely start with Medik8 vitamin A or retinal?
Start with a lower dose and less frequently than you ultimately intend to use. Only increase usage when your skin remains comfortable and do not combine multiple new active ingredients right away.
Can I use acids and vitamin A on the same evening?
That may be fine for some experienced skin types, but it is not always necessary and can increase sensitivity. We prefer to recommend a schedule that suits your tolerance rather than using as many actives as possible in one routine.
What if my skin becomes dry or sensitive from my evening routine?
Reduce frequency, simplify the routine, and prioritize hydration and barrier function. If irritation persists, stop using the active product and seek advice.
Can I use vitamin A during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Vitamin A products are generally avoided during pregnancy. If you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding, please discuss your routine with your doctor and let us know so that we can provide alternatives.
