Yes. Medik8 is often referred to as a medical-grade or “cosmeceutical” skincare brand. This means the products contain high concentrations of active ingredients, clinically proven to deliver results under professional guidance. Although their products are free to purchase online and in stores, some professional help can go along way to really get the most out of the products.

The best Medik8 routine depends on your skin type, concerns, and goals. We offer short online video consultations across the UK, where our experts assess your skin and create a personalised Medik8 skincare routine for you.

Yes – Medik8 formulates products specifically for sensitive skin, including gentle vitamin C and retinoid options. Our UK-based specialists or our Skin Experts here at Face Dr can recommend the most suitable products for your skin during a consultation.

Most Medik8 skincare products are safe to use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. However, some formulations contain active ingredients such as retinoids (vitamin A) or high-strength exfoliating acids, which are not recommended during this time.

Medik8 clearly labels its products, and you can filter for pregnancy-safe options on the brand’s website or through your Face Dr Skin Expert, who can recommend suitable alternatives for your skin concerns.

If you’re unsure, always check the ingredients list or speak with your midwife, GP, or skincare professional before use.

In summary: many Medik8 products are safe in pregnancy, but avoid retinoids and strong acids. For peace of mind, ask a Face Dr expert to create a tailored, pregnancy-safe skincare plan or speak to your midwife.
