How To Use

Application: After cleansing and applying serum in the morning and evening, apply a small amount of Calmwise™ Colour Correct to face, neck and décolletage, avoiding the delicate eye area.

Technique: Use light, upward strokes to blend in the cream and allow to absorb. On more sensitive areas, gently tap the product into the skin rather than rubbing.

Frequency: Can be used twice daily, both morning and evening, as part of your regular skincare routine.

Timing: Apply after water-based serums and before SPF in your morning routine. In the evening, use after serums and before heavier moisturisers if layering additional products.

Layering: Makeup can be applied soon afterwards as needed. This product works excellently as a colour-correcting primer beneath foundation.

Expert Tips: For optimal results, ensure serums are fully absorbed before application. Speak to our experts for personalised application guidance and routine integration advice tailored to your specific skin concerns.

FAQ

Q: Can I use Calmwise™ Colour Correct if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
A: Bakuchiol is structurally different from retinoids and is often considered a suitable alternative during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, as a cosmetics company, we recommend discussing the ingredient list with your GP or midwife before use to ensure it's appropriate for your individual circumstances.

Q: Will the green colour remain visible on my skin?
A: No. The innovative fading green pigment technology is designed to transform upon application, blending seamlessly with your natural skin tone. The green tint neutralises redness through colour theory principles whilst becoming invisible on the skin, leaving only a balanced, even complexion.

Q: Can I use this product alongside vitamin C serums in my morning routine?
A: Yes. Medik8 products are formulated to work synergistically within the brand's CSA Philosophy. After cleansing, apply your vitamin C serum (such as C-Tetra Luxe), allow it to absorb, then follow with Calmwise™ Colour Correct. This layering approach supports both antioxidant protection and colour correction.

Q: How does Bakuchiol compare to retinol in terms of results?
A: Clinical research published in the British Journal of Dermatology (2018) demonstrated that 0.5% Bakuchiol delivered comparable results to 0.5% retinol in reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation over 12 weeks, with significantly fewer side effects such as scaling and stinging. This makes it an excellent choice for achieving anti-ageing benefits whilst managing sensitive, redness-prone skin.

Q: Can I use this product under makeup?
A: Absolutely. Calmwise™ Colour Correct functions excellently as a colour-correcting primer beneath makeup. Apply after your serum and SPF (in the morning), allow it to absorb, then proceed with your makeup application. The smooth, neutralising base helps create an even canvas for foundation whilst providing ongoing skincare benefits throughout the day.

Q: How long will it take to see results?
A: Immediate colour correction and redness neutralisation occur within seconds of application. For long-term benefits such as improved skin barrier function, reduced reactivity, and anti-ageing effects from Bakuchiol, consistent use over 8-12 weeks is recommended. Clinical studies on Bakuchiol demonstrated significant improvements in fine lines and pigmentation after 12 weeks of twice-daily use.
