Medik8 line
A widely awarded cosmeceutical treatment series specializing in products for
aging skin, hyperpigmentation, acne, dehydrated and reddened skin. Medik8 products and treatments are retailed by health and skincare professionals.
Medik8 is a pioneer in the manufacturing of professional products. Serums and creams are produced in small batches by hand in the Medik8 laboratory in England, in an airless environment to ensure freshness.
“Freshness” ensures that the products are completely stable and therefore effective to the last drop. Medik8 specializes in creating professionally effective products whose treatment results are confirmed by scientific methods. The products are specifically designed for aging skin, acne treatment, reddened skin, hyperpigmentation treatment, and dry skin. This 100% professional skincare line was launched in 2009. The series was named after our first product, which was designed to prevent redness and contained 0.8% vitamin K. Elliot Isaacs (pharmacologist and founder) wanted to bring the technology used in drug manufacturing to the development of cosmetic products. His philosophy is to develop stable, skin-friendly active ingredients and cosmetic products whose effectiveness can be scientifically proven and whose manufacturing leaves the smallest possible carbon footprint.
Kuulas has trusted the power of vitamins A and C in skincare for over 12 years. We have visited and learned about Medik8 products in their laboratory in England. We sell Medik8 products in our online store, but if vitamin A is new to you, please consult us before purchasing to ensure you get the best benefit from the products.
Medik8 – Pioneer in cosmetic research
Medik8 is a company with scientific roots. Thus, technology plays a major role in the design, manufacturing, and even presentation of our products to customers. We constantly strive to improve our products and learn more.
Active ingredients literally have thousands available to our product development.
Except for a few “expert-made ingredients” where we found interesting compounds, we prefer to search through literature and research for one effective ingredient and build a product around it. Medik8 has divided its products into categories.
In the anti-ageing category we really only have a few active ingredients to choose from – and our expertise comes from high-quality raw materials and how the products are made.
A very popular active ingredient, vitamin C in the form of L-ascorbic acid, is very effective but highly unstable. And when efficacy decreases, it doesn't just become ineffective, it turns from an antioxidant into a free radical, which in other words is a harmful ingredient.
We go to great lengths to ensure the stability of our L-ascorbic acid products so that it remains stable not only for its shelf life but also after opening.
The techniques we use are closely guarded trade secrets, but they are purely based on chemistry. However, there is no better way to achieve optimal formulation than to try small batches of different formulations and conduct a stabilization test in a 47-degree “ageing” oven.
When we launched CE-Thione (which contains 15% L-ascorbic acid), Medik8 presented its research to cosmetologists, doctors, nurses, and other skincare professionals at several medical conferences. We informed them in detail about the unprecedented steps we use to continuously improve stability.
When product development takes literally years, it is important to give our research and development team the opportunity to get outside the lab to discuss with people who work with customers and explain to them how the product is scientifically made.
We had the opportunity to present at a significant conference at the Royal College of Physicians in London, an impressive finding of CE-Thione's 18-month stability, making it a market-leading product.
The key active ingredients used by Medik8 in anti-ageing products are vitamin C, hydroxy acids, and sun protection. We are also interested in cellular signaling molecules, such as certain peptides.
For pigmentation, acne, dry skin, and redness, we have selected our active ingredients using the same careful methods as for anti-ageing products.
