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.

We tailor Medik8 recommendations to your skin type + goals, but here are a few of our MVPs:
C-Tetra Luxe
Your glow starts here. A high-strength, lipid Vitamin C serum with maracuja oil and vitamin E to brighten, smooth and protect.
Crystal Retinal (Retinaldehyde in 1–20)
This is not your average retinol. Crystal Retinal works 11x faster than classic retinol and gives you that ‘lit-from-within’ glow while fighting lines, acne and texture. We’ll match you to the perfect strength.
Press & Glow
A daily acid toner that’s gentle enough for sensitive skin, but still packs a punch. PHAs exfoliate without irritation, so you get glassy, radiant skin without the sting.
Hydr8 B5 Intense
A next-level hyaluronic acid serum with NMF boosters and antioxidant power. It’s hydration, but in hyperdrive.
Advanced Day Total Protect SPF 30
The non-chalky, anti-ageing SPF your face will actually like. Infrared, pollution and blue light protection included.
