Medex Active Nourishing Gel - 100ml

The Medex Active Nourishing Gel is a powerful regenerating and nourishing night gel designed specifically for men whose skin looks tired, dry, and lacking firmness. Part of the Medex for Men line, this gel works overnight to deeply restore the skin's moisture balance, leaving it visibly hydrated and revitalised by morning. Formulated with a carefully selected blend of active ingredients, the gel combines hydrolysed wheat protein, niacinamide (Vitamin B3), glycerin, sodium lactate, and urea — a multi-layered approach to hydration that supports the skin's Natural Moisturising Factor and strengthens its protective barrier. Wheat protein boosts elasticity and aids cell regeneration, while niacinamide promotes ceramide production for a firmer, more resilient complexion. The active nourishing gel is ideal for men with dehydrated, fatigued, or mature skin. Apply it as a standalone overnight treatment, or layer it under the Medex Protective Nourishing Gel during the day for enhanced protection and continuous nourishment around the clock. If your skin needs more intensive care, combining both products delivers optimal results. Add the Medex Active Nourishing Gel to your daily routine and wake up to noticeably healthier, more hydrated skin.

Active Nourishing Gel brings together a carefully balanced mix of moisture-binding actives that work on multiple levels. Glycerin, Sodium Lactate and Urea are small molecules that penetrate deep into the skin's structure, attracting and locking in water — each a recognised component of the Natural Moisturizing Factor. Niacinamide stimulates ceramide production, reinforcing the lipid barrier and reducing transepidermal water loss. Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein improves skin elasticity and supports cell regeneration. Caprylyl Glycol delivers additional hydration and stabilises the formula. The result: a noticeably improved moisture balance, a firmer skin texture and a rested, revitalised complexion.

Apply the Medex Active Nourishing Gel to clean, dry skin every evening before bed. Take a small amount and massage gently into the face and neck using upward circular motions until fully absorbed. For intensive care, also use in the morning as a base layer underneath the Medex Protective Nourishing Gel. Use daily for best results.

• Glycerin – Intensely hydrates and has a soothing effect
• Niacinamide/Vitamin B3 – Strengthens the skin barrier, reduces redness and irritation, and has a mild exfoliating effect
• Urea – Hydrates and gently exfoliates, contributing to soft and supple skin.

Caprylyl Glycol is a moisturizing agent with a C8 carbon tail that retains moisture thanks to its two Hydroxyl groups (-OH). Under specific conditions, it also has mild preservative properties, making it effective in products for skin issues related to microorganisms, such as acne (in skincare) and dandruff (in shampoos).

Glycerin (natural source) is a small molecule that binds and holds water. It is a valuable component of the Natural Moisturizing Factor, maintaining the skin's natural moisture balance.

Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein helps improve the skin's elasticity and acts as a powerful moisturizer. It also reduces the risk of irritation and stimulates the regeneration of skin cells.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) promotes the production of ceramides in the skin, strengthening the skin's barrier by forming lamellar lipid layers. It enhances the skin's natural moisture and resistance. A deficiency in Vitamin B3 can lead to skin deterioration, known as "Pellagra."

Sodium Lactate is a small, salt-like molecule that binds and retains water, contributing to the Natural Moisturizing Factor and maintaining the skin’s moisture balance.

Urea is a small molecule with excellent water-binding properties, helping to preserve the skin's moisture balance.
