Authorised UK Medik8 Stockist
Medik8 Acne & Blemish-Prone
Medik8 for blemish-prone skin — Blemish SOS, Clarifying Foam, Press & Clear and clarifying pads. Buy genuine Medik8 from Skintique, an authorised UK stockist.
Salicylic acid does most of the work across this range, so it helps to know how it behaves before you pick a format. Our Academy covers what salicylic acid is and how it acts on oily, congested skin, and sets out how to sequence a routine for blemish-prone skin so a leave-on and a wash-off product aren't doing the same job twice.
Frequently asked questions
Which Medik8 products should I start with for blemish-prone skin?
Which Medik8 products should I start with for blemish-prone skin?
Start with Clarifying Foam morning and night, and Press & Clear, the 2% BHA toner, swept over the face afterwards. Once your skin handles that for two to three weeks, add Blemish Control Pads a few evenings a week and keep Blemish SOS for dabbing directly onto active spots. Introduce one product at a time so you can see what your skin responds to.
How do I use Press & Clear and Blemish Control Pads without over-drying?
How do I use Press & Clear and Blemish Control Pads without over-drying?
Sweep Press & Clear across clean skin once a day to begin, moving to twice daily as tolerance builds, and use Blemish Control Pads on alternate evenings rather than every night. Both carry BHA and mandelic acid, so overlapping them heavily leaves skin tight. Follow with a light moisturiser and a morning SPF to keep the barrier comfortable.
What's the difference between Clarifying Foam and Pore Cleanse Gel Intense?
What's the difference between Clarifying Foam and Pore Cleanse Gel Intense?
Clarifying Foam is a lighter AHA/BHA foaming wash for daily use on blemish-prone and combination skin. Pore Cleanse Gel Intense is a stronger AHA/BHA gel that works harder into congested, oilier skin and visible blackheads. Use the foam every day and bring in the intense gel a few times a week when congestion flares.
How do I use Blemish SOS on an active spot?
How do I use Blemish SOS on an active spot?
Dab a small amount of Blemish SOS directly onto the spot after cleansing and toning, before moisturiser, using it up to twice a day. Its salicylic acid and encapsulated actives concentrate on the blemish while sparing the surrounding skin. Keep it as a targeted treatment rather than spreading it across the whole face.
