”Cleansing is one of the most disruptive steps in a skincare routine, yet it’s rarely engineered with the same precision as treatment products. With Total Moisture Daily Cleansing Gel, we developed a hydration-first formula powered by our Smart Surfactant SystemTM and Moisture MagnetsTM, designed to cleanse thoroughly while maintaining moisture levels after rinsing. It’s a more intelligent approach to cleansing, one that removes everything but disturbs nothing.”

Daniel Isaacs
Chief Product Officer & Founding Partner of Medik8

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the perfect partner for Total Moisture Daily Cleansing Gel?

For dry or dehydrated skin, pair Total Moisture Daily Cleansing Gel with Total Moisture Daily Facial Cream for a hydration-focused routine. The cleanser maintains hydration after rinsing to prepare the skin, and the cream builds on this with multi-weight hyaluronic acid and a barrier-supporting prebiotic peptide to help strengthen and nourish the skin barrier.

Does Total Moisture Daily Cleansing Gel have a refill?

Yes. This is currently in production and we look forward to releasing this soon as part of our commitment to minimising our environmental impact. 

How much should I apply?

For a thorough cleanse, we recommend 2 pumps per use.

How long should I cleanse for?

For a thorough cleansing routine, we recommend applying the gel to moistened hands, then to a damp face and neck, and working it into your skin for at least 30 seconds. If wearing makeup, concentrate efforts around your eyes.

Should I use this or Surface Radiance Cleanse?

It depends. If you are looking for an exfoliating, brightening cleanse to visibly improve signs of ageing, dullness and uneven texture, we would recommend Surface Radiance Cleanse.
