KEY INGREDIENTS
Total Moisture Daily Facial Cream:
Prebiotic Peptide
Helps to maintain the balance of the skin's microbiome, working to replenish and boost the skin barrier. This supports the skin’s natural protective functions against moisture loss and the effects of external stressors.
Multi-Weight Hyaluronic Acid
With a unique ability to attract and retain more than 1,000 times its own weight in water, hyaluronic acid draws moisture from the lower layers of the skin into the upper layers. This leaves the complexion visibly nourished and supple.
Ceramides & Lipids
Naturally found in the skin barrier, ceramides, squalane, and vitamin F work by mimicking the skin’s natural lipid barrier to intensely replenish, nourish & visibly restore the complexion.
Advanced Night Restore:
Multi-Ceramide Complex (with essential lipids)
A unique combination of ceramides (alongside phytosterol (pronounced 'fee-ta-STE-rol) and fatty acids) which mimic the skin’s natural lipid barrier to intensely restore and nourish.
Midnight Antioxidant Complex
Combining a cell-repairing peptide and purple superfood antioxidants (saskatoon berry and dragon fruit extract), this complex helps to effectively neutralise the visible ageing effects of free radicals. It also helps to prevent damage to the skin cells and proteins.
Saskatoon Berry
Packed full of wonder-antioxidants called anthocyanins (pronounced 'ANtho-SYa-nins'), this Canadian superberry can help to block the enzyme which breaks down hyaluronic acid, therefore preserving the skin's natural moisture levels for visible plumpness.
Dragon Fruit Extract
Derived from the night-blooming cactus of Mexico, dragon fruit extract provides exceptional antioxidant protection while lifting and toning the complexion.
N-Acetyl Glucosamine (NAG) (pronounced 'En-ASS-a-till Gloo-coh-sa-meen')
This naturally occurring molecule in the body works synergistically with previously applied retinol / retinal serums to encourage the production of hydrating hyaluronic acid.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE FORMUL
Total Moisture Daily Facial Cream:
Total Moisture Daily Facial Cream is grounded by Medik8’s moisturisation fundamentals: H.E.O. Technology, featuring an expert combination of humectants (hydrating), emollients (nourishing) and occlusives (moisture-locking). These are carefully optimised to deliver powerful, deep moisture while remaining suitable for daily use thanks to their non-greasy, lightly nourishing texture. The cream’s moisture potential is elevated further with proven microbiome support, using a prebiotic peptide that helps to promote healthy-looking, happier skin.
A balanced microbiome contributes to a healthy skin barrier, meaning skin can retain and produce moisture optimally while protecting itself from external aggressors. Total Moisture Daily Facial Cream has been rigorously tested on all skin types and tones through clinical, consumer and analytical scientific trials, with remarkable results on skin moisturisation.
Advanced Night Restore
Ceramides are essential lipids (natural fatty acids) that are present in the skin's top protective layer - also known as the skin barrier.
Their main function is to help prevent moisture from getting out and external stressors from getting into the skin. Within the skin barrier, alongside ceramides, other lipids such as cholesterol and phytosterols (pronounced 'fee-ta-STE-rols) also reside. When ceramides are used in skincare, they must be combined in an optimised ratio with both cholesterol and fatty acids. This is so they can help to effectively replenish the lipids that occur naturally within the skin.
Our extensive research into ceramide combinations has resulted in our optimized blend of ceramides 1 and 3, phytosterol (vegan cholesterol) and fatty acids in a 3:1:1:1 ratio. This has been scientifically proven to accelerate barrier recovery.[4]

Advanced Night Restore is Medik8’s signature age-defying night cream. It is designed to help smooth and firm the look of stubborn lines and wrinkles.

Advanced Night Restore:
Can I use Advanced Night Restore while pregnant / breastfeeding?
As a cosmetics company, we are unable to provide product advice in relation to medical conditions such as pregnancy. We would recommend discussing the ingredients with your GP or midwife before use. As general guidance, this product does not contain any ingredients that we would recommend avoiding during pregnancy, unless advised by your doctor.
Should Advanced Night Restore be used in the morning or evening?
Advanced Night Restore should be used in the evening, as the last step of your nighttime routine. This is because it is designed to work in synergy with your skin's natural overnight repair processes.
Why has Advanced Night Restore been formulated to work alongside vitamin A?
Due to rapid cell turnover promoted by vitamin A use, sometimes skin can feel a little drier than usual. This makes Advanced Night Restore the perfect complement to vitamin A use, ensuring you get all the power of the vitamin A alongside the most comforting and nourishing moisturisation experience.
Does Advanced Night Restore come with a spatula for application?
As part of our comprehensive sustainability strategy, we have decided to remove all plastic spatulas that were previously provided with some of our products. We do, however, offer a reusable metal spatula on our website as a more sustainable alternative to plastic spatulas.
COMPLETE YOUR REGIME
For maximum age-defying results, we recommend pairing these products with our industry-leading vitamin C, sunscreen and vitamin A formulas - as per our pioneering CSA Philosophy(R); vitamin C plus sunscreen by day, vitamin A by night.
