What is Medik8 CSA Philosophy?

The Medik8 CSA Philosophy is a simple yet effective core regime that addresses the visible signs of skin ageing. The letters stand for Vitamin C and Sunscreen by day and Vitamin A at night. This three-step approach is at the heart of the brand's entire product line and is a cornerstone of their Skin Perfecting Collection.

In the morning, a Vitamin C serum is used for antioxidant protection against environmental damage from free radicals. This is followed by a high-performance sunscreen to shield the skin from UV rays and prevent premature ageing. At night a Vitamin A serum or cream is applied to help with cell renewal and improve the skin's texture. This simple and science-backed method is a proven path to achieving a youthful and radiant complexion.

Which Medik8 SPF should I choose?

Medik8 offers two primary sunscreens depending on your skin type. The Advanced Day Total Protect is a lightweight daily sunscreen with broad-spectrum SPF 30 suitable for most. It has a non-greasy formula that sits well under makeup. For sensitive or post-procedure skin the Physical Sunscreen is a mineral-based SPF 50. It uses non-nano zinc oxide to provide a gentle and soothing option. Both are considered SPF essentials that provide crucial daily protection to maintain skin health.

How do I build up Crystal Retinal without irritation?

Crystal Retinal runs in six strengths, 1, 3, 6, 10, 20 and 24, so the answer is to start low and move up slowly rather than jumping in.

Start on the lowest strength that suits you and use it twice a week for the first two weeks
Move to every other night for a few weeks once there is no dryness or stinging
Build to nightly only when your skin is comfortable at that pace
Move up a strength after a few months of comfortable nightly use, not before

Apply to dry skin, follow with a moisturiser if you need to soften it, and wear SPF every morning. Retinal makes skin more vulnerable to sun damage while it is working.
