To support its newest skincare product launch engineered around skin biology, Medik8 is opening a science-led skincare experience pop-up in London, hosted in partnership with beauty retailer Space NK. The two-day Ex-PDRN Prismatic+ Lab activation is the brand’s first discovery-led consumer activation with Space NK, and it's coming to Covent Garden to educate consumers on its advanced formulation and how it fits within a skincare routine.
Even the most innovative, next-generation skincare ingredient is only as powerful as the consumer's understanding of it—if people can't connect it to their own goals or concerns, it's unlikely to make it into their routine. As such, at the immersive Ex-PDRN Prismatic+ Lab, guests can look forward to getting personalized skin analysis sessions and skincare consultations, and taking home samples of their three-step routine.
