"I love this one because it is one of those cleansers that genuinely doesn't strip or dry. It adds moisture back to the skin. Most brands will say that their cleanser hydrates and moisturizes, but by their nature cleansers are going to be a little bit drying. So you have to use really good quality humectants to avoid that. Medicate have done that. One pump will do the whole face and neck. This is great. I've been using it all year, and I would say one of these will last me three months. Genuinely, one of the best cleansers I have ever used, bar none. Especially if you've got dryness prone skin type, and I think that's a good thing to bear in mind as we're coming into the cooler winter months."

Im 40 - My FULL ANTI AGING SKINCARE ROUTINE (This Actually Works)

"My absolute favorite at the moment is the Medicate Total Moisture Daily Cleansing Gel. This is phenomenal because it actually adds back hydration into the skin [...] rather than taking it away, [...] and I think it's one of the smartest formulas I've personally seen in a cleanser in a long time. [...] A little goes such a long way, [...] I use half a pump and that does the face and the neck, and it'll remove multiple layers of water resistant SPF and makeup, it's an all-in-one cleanser. [...] It's also not too expensive, [...] Medicate says you'll get 170 uses out of the bottle, [...] which for me is really value for money."

Official: WORLDS No1 SKINCARE BRAND - This Brand Transformed My Skin

"This is the Medik8 Total Moisture Daily Cleansing Gel. Love this, absolutely love this. This is [...] one of the only cleansers I've found that genuinely doesn't strip and dry the skin and gives the best cleanse. It removes waterproof makeup and water resistant SPF, multiple layers of dirt and debris gone, and you don't need to double cleanse if you use this because it does it all in one for you. It's a really affordable price point, really effective, and it doesn't strip and dry the skin. If you have dryness prone skin and you're almost scared to cleanse, just buy that, you will absolutely love it."

Official: BEST LUXURY SKINCARE (And The Dupes Brands Don't Want Us Knowing About)

"This is their Total Moisture Daily Cleansing Gel. I use half a pump and it does the whole cleanse, so a little goes a long way, meaning it's a really cost effective cleanser, and one of these bottles will probably last me three months. This is the best cleanser I've used in 2026. It hydrates you, gets off everything including water resistant SPF and waterproof makeup, doesn't strip, doesn't dry. Just a great all round cleanser, one of my personal favorites."

"The Medik8 Total Moisture Daily Cleansing Gel is a barrier boosting gel to foam moisture magnet prebiotic cleanser with a smart surfactant system that drew me in. It's a hydrating cleanser that still manages to get everything off. I really like gel to foam cleansers in the warmer months, and I'll be taking this with me for traveling."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
