Serious skincare. Science-first. Results always.

At Skin by Alien, we don’t stock the shelves for the sake of it. We only work with brands that deliver visible, clinically-backed, no-nonsense results—and Medik8 is exactly that.

Born in the lab and built on a mission to demystify skincare, Medik8 creates formulas that are high-performance, evidence-based, and surprisingly easy to use. They’re best known for their CSA Philosophy: Vitamin C by day, SPF always, and Vitamin A by night. Simple, effective, and glow-guaranteed.

Their products are backed by science, kind to skin and of course cruelty-free. They don’t just make promises—they show receipts.

We don’t do treatments just for the vibes—we do them for the visible, clinical results. That’s why we’ve added Medik8’s advanced in-clinic treatments to our skin lineup. Whether you're tackling acne, dullness, fine lines or pigmentation, there's a Medik8 protocol designed to target it—properly.

These treatments use pharmaceutical-grade actives at professional strength, layered with techniques that support skin barrier health and long-term skin goals. No over-stripping, no downtime, just next-level skin.

    • 🧪 Pharmaceutical-grade active ingredients

    • 🌱 Clean, cruelty-free and vegan-friendly

    • ⏳ Visible results without harshness

    • 🧠 Smart, layered formulations that actually make sense

    • ✨ Perfect partners for in-clinic treatments or at-home skin goals

    Whether you’re dealing with pigmentation, ageing, breakouts, or just want to level up your skincare game—Medik8 gives you the tools (and actives) to actually do it.

  • We tailor Medik8 recommendations to your skin type + goals, but here are a few of our MVPs:
