FAQ

Q: Can I use Calmwise Soothing Cleanser if I have rosacea or extremely sensitive skin?
A: This cleanser is specifically formulated for redness-prone and sensitive skin types, with an ultra-mild, pH-balanced formula free from common irritants. However, as Medik8 is a cosmetics company, they cannot provide specific medical advice for conditions such as rosacea. We recommend consulting your dermatologist before use, and our experts are available to discuss the ingredient profile and suitability for your individual concerns.

Q: How does Teprenone work to reduce redness and support my skin barrier?
A: Teprenone is a patented ingredient that stabilises telomeres—the protective caps on your DNA strands within skin cells. As we age and experience stress, telomeres shorten, eventually triggering cell death. By extending telomere length, Teprenone prolongs cell life, enhances barrier function, and reduces your skin's sensitivity to external irritants. This results in calmer, more resilient skin with reduced inflammation and redness over time.

Q: Can I use this cleanser twice daily, and will it remove makeup and sunscreen effectively?
A: Yes, Calmwise Soothing Cleanser is suitable for use up to twice daily and effectively removes light makeup, sunscreen, and daily impurities. For heavier makeup or long-wearing formulations, our experts recommend double cleansing—start with Medik8 Lipid Balance Cleansing Oil to break down makeup and sunscreen, then follow with Calmwise Soothing Cleanser for a thorough, gentle cleanse that leaves skin balanced and comfortable.

Q: How soon can I expect to see results in reducing redness?
A: Many users report immediate comfort and visible calming upon first use, with skin feeling soothed and less reactive. For significant improvements in redness reduction and barrier strengthening, consistent use over 4-6 weeks is recommended. The patented Teprenone works progressively at a cellular level, so long-term use delivers increasingly visible benefits including improved skin resilience, reduced sensitivity, and a more even-toned, youthful complexion.

Q: Is this cleanser suitable for post-treatment skin following aesthetic procedures?
A: Absolutely. Calmwise Soothing Cleanser is specifically designed to provide immediate comfort and support for post-treatment skin. Its ultra-gentle, barrier-supporting formula makes it ideal for use following aesthetic procedures when skin is particularly vulnerable. The chlorophyll and Vitamin K2 promote healing whilst the mild cleansing agents ensure impurity removal without compromising already-sensitised skin.
