Frequently asked questions

Can I use it around the eyes?
Yes. Medik8 states it is suitable for removing eye makeup: apply 2 pumps to dry skin, close your eyes and gently sweep across the eye area, holding for a few moments over heavy makeup. Then add warm water to emulsify and rinse. Avoid getting it directly in the eyes.

Can I use it morning and evening?
Yes, it can be used for both AM and PM cleansing.

Do I need a second cleanse?
Not always, but many people use it as the first step of a double cleanse in the evening.

Will it leave my skin oily?
No. It is designed to emulsify with water and rinse away cleanly.

Medik8 notes that it does not contain ingredients it would recommend avoiding during pregnancy unless advised by your doctor.
