Medik8 Balance Moisturiser takes the opposite approach: a 97% oil-free, alcohol-free formula that hydrates while the prebiotic and postbiotic blend supports the skin's own balance, so the look of oiliness settles without the rebound dryness. Fragrance is naturally derived (no artificial fragrance, no synthetic colours) and the formula is paraben free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOily, combination and blemish-prone skin that wants a light, non-greasy daily moisturiser; anyone who found richer creams sat on the skin or triggered congestion; and existing customers of the original duo who want the same moisturiser without the activator. If you want the glycolic step back, pair Medik8 Balance Moisturiser with Sleep Glycolic two or three nights a week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a registered aesthetics nurse with more than two decades in specialist skincare and medical aesthetics, Becci spent years helping clients with oily, congested skin find a moisturiser they'd actually keep using. This is the one she recommends most often for that skin type: light enough that it never feels like a compromise, and honest about what it does. Her one piece of advice for anyone missing the old activator is to add Sleep Glycolic separately, because a controlled overnight peel is a better way to use glycolic acid than a daily dose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50ml\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Medik8","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64506300498297,"sku":"MED-801","price":42.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/6812\/0358\/files\/Medik8-Balance-Moisturiser-50ml.jpg?v=1788852813","url":"https:\/\/www.adoreyourskin.co.uk\/products\/medik8-balance-moisturiser","provider":"Adore Your Skin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
