What Is Brand Medik8?

Medik8 isn’t just another skincare name it’s a Skintellectual movement born in London. Founded by scientist Elliot Isaacs, we’re driven by a passion for blending chemistry with dermatology to create products that actually work.

From our Harley Street roots, we’ve grown into a global fave, available in over 40 countries, including Australia. Our 100+ products serums, creams, sunscreens  are made under strict quality standards, ensuring every drop delivers.

In 2025, L’Oréal scooped up a majority stake for over £1 billion, but we’ve kept our indie spirit, focusing on results without compromise. For Aussies, Medik8 means high-performance skincare that’s kind to your skin and the planet.

Brand History

Medik8’s story began in 2009 when Elliot Isaacs, a UK scientist with a knack for skin science, set out to revolutionise skincare. Working from a small London lab, he tackled a big issue: stabilising retinol to reduce irritation while boosting its power.

This led to the creation of our patented encapsulated retinaldehyde tech, a game-changer in anti-ageing. By 2012, Medik8’s Crystal Retinal became a cult favourite, winning awards like Marie Claire Skin Awards.

The brand expanded rapidly, launching the CSA philosophy in 2015 to simplify effective routines. By 2020, Medik8 earned B Corp status, cementing its commitment to sustainability.

In 2025, we hit a milestone when L’Oréal acquired a majority stake, valuing us at over £1 billion, while we continued innovating with products like Liquid Peptides Advanced. From a lab to a global leader, Medik8’s journey is about science, passion, and Aussie-approved results.
