“I think I found my favourite cleanser! Lovely smell, skin not only feels clean but also looks younger and smoother.”
Medik8 is renowned for its science-backed skincare, with a large product range that targets anything from anti-ageing, to pigmentation and acne-prone skin. One item seems to get the seal of approval from most skin types, and it’s the £25 Surface Radiance Cleanse.
This foaming cleanser contains an AHA/BHA complex which gently exfoliates, revealing a bright and glowing complexion. Shoppers report their skin “shines” after use, leaving it softer to the touch and less congested. You can find it at LookFantastic, Space NK, or direct from Medik8’s website.
The No7 Radiance+ Daily Energising Exfoliating Cleanser 100ml might be a good alternative for those looking to spend a little less. This one is priced at £14.95 and promises to ‘illuminate dull, tired looking skin’.

Danielle on the other hand only left three stars and said: “Quite drying and didn’t find it helps with congestion, smells lovely though.” Another user had a reaction, writing: “Used once and made my skin red hot to touch and itchy.”
Those with sensitive skin may want to consider this, and a patch test is always recommended when introducing new skincare into your routine. Alternatively, the Cetaphil Healthy Radiance Face Wash, 100g costs £16.99 at Amazon and is unscented/designed specifically for sensitive skin.
