Medik8 skincare regime collection
The Medik8 Calm & Restore Collection
A gentle Medik8 morning and evening regime created for sensitive, redness-prone or easily unsettled skin, combining soothing cleansing, targeted serum care, barrier-supporting moisturisation and daily SPF.
About this collection
The Medik8 Calm & Restore Collection has been curated by DNTL Wellness for customers whose skin is sensitive, redness-prone, dry or easily unsettled. It provides a simple routine focused on gentle cleansing, visible comfort, hydration and barrier support.
The collection avoids retinal and exfoliating acids, making it a more suitable starting point for customers who do not want an intensive active regime. It can also provide a supportive routine during periods when the skin feels more reactive than usual.
Best for
- Sensitive or easily irritated skin
- Redness-prone or visibly flushed skin
- Dryness, tightness or discomfort
- Skin that feels compromised after overuse of active products
- Customers wanting a gentle routine without retinal or exfoliating acids
- Those wanting to support the skin barrier morning and evening
Your Medik8 routine includes
- Medik8 Calmwise Soothing Cleanser – an ultra-gentle chlorophyll-infused foaming cleanser
- Medik8 Calmwise Serum – a soothing serum for redness-prone and sensitised skin
- Medik8 Total Moisture Daily Facial Cream – a day and night moisturiser supporting long-lasting hydration and the skin barrier
- Medik8 Advanced Night Restore – a ceramide-rich night cream for richer overnight nourishment
- Medik8 Advanced Day Ultimate Protect SPF50+ – a high-protection daily moisturiser and sunscreen
This collection contains full-size products unless a different size is stated in the product options.
Your morning regime
- Pump Calmwise Soothing Cleanser into the palm and massage gently over a moistened face and neck.
- Rinse with lukewarm water and gently pat the skin dry.
- Apply a small amount of Calmwise Serum over the face and neck, concentrating on areas of visible redness or discomfort.
- Follow with Total Moisture Daily Facial Cream if additional hydration is required.
- Finish with 5 pumps of Advanced Day Ultimate Protect SPF50+ over the face and neck.
- Reapply sunscreen when required, particularly after swimming, sweating or towel drying.
Your evening regime
- Remove makeup and heavy sunscreen first where required, using a gentle method that does not involve rubbing the skin.
- Cleanse with Calmwise Soothing Cleanser, rinse thoroughly and pat dry.
- Apply Calmwise Serum over the face and neck.
- Follow with Total Moisture Daily Facial Cream for everyday hydration or Advanced Night Restore when richer overnight nourishment is preferred.
- Very dry skin may use Total Moisture Daily Facial Cream first and a small amount of Advanced Night Restore on top, provided this feels comfortable.
How to introduce the regime
- Patch test each product at least 24 hours before first use.
- Introduce one new product at a time where possible.
- Begin with the cleanser and moisturiser before adding Calmwise Serum.
- Use a small amount of each product and increase only if needed.

FAQs
Is this collection suitable for sensitive skin?
It has been curated specifically for sensitive, redness-prone and easily unsettled skin. Sensitive skin can still react to any new product, so patch test first and introduce the regime gradually.
Does this collection contain retinal or exfoliating acids?
No. The collection has been designed as a gentle barrier-supporting routine without retinal, retinol, salicylic acid, glycolic acid or a dedicated exfoliating toner.
Do I need both moisturisers?
No. Total Moisture Daily Facial Cream is the lighter everyday option, while Advanced Night Restore provides richer overnight nourishment. You can alternate them according to how dry or comfortable your skin feels.
Can I use both moisturisers at night?
Very dry skin may apply Total Moisture Daily Facial Cream first and a small amount of Advanced Night Restore on top. Use only one if applying both feels too rich or causes congestion.
Can this collection cure rosacea?
No cosmetic skincare collection can diagnose or cure rosacea. The products may support comfort and the appearance of redness, but persistent or worsening symptoms should be assessed by a GP or suitable healthcare professional.
Can I add vitamin C or retinal later?
Yes, once the skin feels settled and comfortable. Introduce only one active product at a time and choose a lower-strength option where appropriate. Seek advice if your skin is highly reactive.
Can I use this after a professional skin treatment?
Calmwise Soothing Cleanser is positioned by Medik8 for sensitised and post-treatment skin, but always follow the aftercare given by your treating practitioner before applying any skincare.
How quickly should my skin feel calmer?
Some customers may notice improved comfort after the first few uses, while visible redness and barrier recovery may take longer. Results vary depending on the cause and severity of the sensitivity.
