What is Meder?

Meder (previously Meder Beauty Science) is a brand of professional skincare created by dermatologist Dr Tiina Meder. Meder skincare is microbiome-friendly, sustainable and suitable for all ages and any time in life (including pregnancy and breastfeeding).

Is Meder skincare cruelty-free?

Yes, Meder Beauty skincare is cruelty-free. All products are manufactured in Switzerland strictly following Swiss and the EU regulations.

We guarantee that Meder Beauty products are not tested on animals. Meder Beauty does not use and have never used any animal-sourced or animal-derived components opting instead for plant-based and lab-made active ingredients.

Meder Beauty skincare does not contain any ingredients that would be harmful for the world ocean when rinsed. All Meder Beauty sheet masks are biodegradable.

Moreover, Meder Beauty supports all European animal protection initiatives, such as bans on animal testing and shark hunting.

Is Meder skincare vegan?

All Meder products with only one exception are vegan. Salva-Derm cream is vegetarian as it uses ethically sourced beeswax as one of its ingredients.

Is Meder skincare suitable for pregnancy and breastfeeding?

Yes!

Meder brand started from offering an alternative solution for mimic wrinkles to pregnant women who could not have injections. The Myo-Fix treatment and active care serum for mimic wrinkles (frown lines) is still available today.

All Meder products are safe to use at any time of your life, including during pregnancy, breastfeeding and menopause.

What are the numbers on Meder skincare?

Numbers on the packaging indicate the order of application. It is easy to build and follow a Meder skin care routine, if you just follow the numbers.

  1. Cleansing masks for washing your face in the morning and at night.
  2. Exfoliating mask Enzy-Peel, use once or twice a week. 
  3. Antioxidant serums, use as you would a toner, after washing your face daily. 
  4. Active active care serums for skin concerns. Always come after cleansers, exfoliation and serums. 
  5. Sheet masks follow the active care serums. Use once a week or as often as desired. 
  6. Vita-Long Oil, Derma-Fill Cream — both can be used on their own or combined with your step 7, in which case apply them first.
  7. Face creams and eye care. 
  8. Hand and body care. 

Your routine does not have to be elaborate or include a product from every step. See our suggestions in the top menu or try our Skin Quiz to find your perfect skin routine.

You can experiment, try and see what works for you. No matter how many Meder products you introduce to your routine, for best results apply them in the correct order.

How do I choose the right cleanser for me?

Choosing a Meder cleansing mask is very simple.

  • If your skin is sensitive, choose Net-Apax Prebiotic Cleansing Mask.
  • If sensitivity is not a concern, try Nrj-Net Revitalising Cleansing Mask.

Both are available in mini doses to try.

Can I use Meder cleansing masks to remove makeup?

Both Meder cleansing masks are suitable for the removal of minimal to very light makeup.

However, if you've got creative, colourful makeup using bright pigments and stable polymers or long lasting/high coverage foundations, it is best to use your makeup remover first.

Professional or stage makeup should be removed using professional makeup remover.

Do I need to use a cleanser in the morning?

Even if you washed your face before going to bed, it is still a good idea to use a gentle cleansing solution in the morning. When you sleep your skin remains active, it secretes sebum and rids itself from dead cells. Your face is in contact with your bed sheets, and fibre micro particles are left on the skin surface. Wash your face with a gentle micellar cleanser to remove all of that and prepare it for your serum and cream.

If your skin is sensitive, use Meder Net-Apax Prebiotic Cleansing Mask. If sensitivity is not a concern, try energising Nrj-Net Revitalising Cleansing Mask.

Do you have a brightening cleanser?

For mild skin brightening we recommend using Nrj-Net Revitalising Cleansing Mask. Apply twice a day, morning and night, spread evenly and leave on for 1-2 minutes. Rinse with tepid water. Your skin may go bright red, which is a normal and desirable reaction and will subside in 10-20 minutes. Nrj-Net contains a large dose of niacinamide or vitamin B3, which stimulates the capillaries and gently brightens the skin without increasing its sensitivity to UV.

My face went red after using Nrj-Net Cleansing Mask. Is it normal?

Not only is this normal, but also really good for your skin. We call it the reviving effect.

Nrj-Net Revitalsing Cleansing Mask contains niacinamide, an active form of vitamin B3, which affects the smallest capillaries and quickly activates blood circulation improving the skin’s health. If you’d like to reduce the redness, apply Nrj-Net Cream to wet skin. If you’d rather increase the impact, apply Nrj-Net Cream to dry skin, massage for a little while and leave on for a few minutes like a mask.

The redness will subside and disappear after 20 minutes or so. With regular use your skin will be less red too.

If you are uncomfortable with redness or have sensitive skin, choose Net-Apax.

Which cleanser is best for ageing skin?

Both Meder cleansing masks are suitable for ageing skin. The difference is Net-Apax would be better for sensitive skin, whereas Nrj-Net is great if sensitivity is not a concern.

Our cleansers work on the skin immune and capillary systems, help balance microbiome and support the skin’s natural protection. For best results combine Meder cleanser with a serum of the same range and cream by your skin type.

Can I use Enzy-Peel Mask daily?

No, we do not recommend exfoliation, even as gentle as probiotic-based Enzy-Peel, every day. Once or twice a week is quite enough to help renew, polish and normalise the skin. For best results combine Enzy-Peel with Meder cleansing mask and serum of your choosing.

Can I use Enzy-Peel Mask with Roaccutane (Isotretinoin)?

Skin health is the first priority during Roaccutane or similar treatments. We do not recommend exfoliation and any peeling masks, even Enzy-Peel. Among other things, Roaccutane accelerates the renewal of epidermis, so there is no need for exfoliation. It could actually be unsafe, because in the course of Roaccutane therapy many patients develop retinoid dermatitis rendering even a micro-injury very traumatic.

You can go back to enzyme exfoliation no earlier than 8–10 weeks after you’ve finished taking Roaccutane.

More about Roaccutane Treatment on DermNet.

If your skin has become sensitive or dry we recommend soothing Soin-Apax serum based on centella asiatica extract to help reduce side effects of Roaccutane.

How to use Enzy-Peel Mask?

We call this mask Enzy-Peel because the exfoliation is performed by enzymes — probiotics able to dissolve dead cells and keratinous layer proteins.

Apply a small amount of Enzy-Peel (around one tea spoon) and spread it on the face, neck and décolleté. Enzymes like warm and humid environment, so it is best to do your peeling in your bathroom after you’ve just had a shower.

If it is not possible, there’s a tip: you can use a plastic shower cap. Cut in small holes for eyes and nose and put the cap on your face after applying Enzy-Peel Mask.

After 5–10 minutes, wash your hands with warm water and massage your face, neck and décolleté with warm wet fingers for a couple of minutes. Rinse off the mask with cool water and see how fresh your renewed skin looks.

Watch a video of Dr Tiina Meder demonstrating how to exfoliate like a pro!

I have sensitive skin. Can I use Enzy-Peel Mask?

Yes, you can! Sensitive skin needs exfoliation too.

However, for sensitive skin we recommend skipping the massage during application. Simply apply Enzy-Peel as a mask to your face and neck, leave on for 5-10 minutes and gently rinse off with lukewarm water. Enzyme exfoliation works best in a warm and humid environment, so for best results use Enzy-Peel in the bathroom after a shower.

Follow with our serum for sensitive skin and a Meder cream for your skin type.

Is Enzy-Peel good for acne?

Yes!

Acne skin care should include regular microbiome-friendly exfoliation at least once a week. Probiotic exfoliation reduces the growth of acne-causing bacteria bringing down inflammation and breakouts. Enzy-Peel Mask regulates sebum production, helps shrink pores and normalise the skin.

Apply Enzy-Peel Mask to your face, but don’t massage over the inflamed areas. Enzyme exfoliation works best in a warm and humid environment. For best results combine with Meder prebiotic and probiotic range for acne skin care.

Is Enzy-Peel Mask suitable for teens?

Yes, Enzy-Peel Mask is suitable for teenage skin care.

Microbiome friendly exfoliation based on probiotic enzymes helps keep the skin healthy and prevent acne breakouts. Enzymes are gentler on teenage skin than acids or classic scrubs, while probiotics help normalise and support microbiome balance for healthy skin.

Enzy-Peel Mask can be used twice a week for oily skin, for sensitive skin skip the massage during application.

Should I use Enzy-Peel if I'm already using retinol and/or AHAs?

If you're using harsh ingredients, such as retinol and AHAs, you probably don't need extra exfoliation.

Both acid and retinol accelerate natural skin renewal. If your skin becomes sensitive or dry we recommend using our Soin-Apax serum based on calming centella asiatica to soothe skin and reduce damage.

You can go back to enzyme exfoliation with Enzy-Peel Mask in 2–3 weeks after you’ve finished the course of your retinol or acid-based solutions.

What are Meder serums?

Serums are an essential part of Meder skin care routine. We recommend using them in place of toners, after your cleansing mask and peeling (if using) but before your active care serum and day cream.

Meder Beauty serums stimulate the capillaries maintaining skin health and provide antioxidant protection. They also moisturise, soften and smooth out the skin, preparing it for the application of active active care serums and creams.

If your skin is sensitive, try Meder Soin-Apax Serum. If sensitivity is not a concern, use Nrj-Soin Serum. For best results combine with Meder cleansing masks and day creams suitable for your skin needs.

My skin tingles when I apply Nrj-Soin Serum. Is this normal?

Yes, light tingling is a normal reaction.

Nrj-Soin Serum contains a high concentration of low molecular active ingredients and antioxidants. They can quickly penetrate into the deeper skin layers protecting skin against free radicals and other toxic agents.

The tingling should pass in a couple of seconds. If you are uncomfortable, try Soin-Apax Serum for sensitive skin.

What are active care serums and cream for?

Meder active care products are targeted skincare solutions for your skin concerns, from acne and rosacea to mimic wrinkles and excessive puffiness.

Use our skin quiz to find out which active care product is best for you.

Do I need to use active care products routinely?

We recommend introducing one of Meder active care products into your routine if you have a particular skin concern you wish to address.

You can use an active care serum or cream for 5-10 weeks repeating 2 or 3 times a year. However, if you wish to use the active care routinely, you can do so and enjoy the effect.

What are the DOs and DON'Ts of using Arma-Lift active care serum?

Arma-Lift is easy to introduce in your routine. Simply apply it twice a day to clean skin and follow with your day cream. The ingredients of Arma-Lift active care serum are very stable and you can combine it with any other skincare you’re using.

For best results we recommend the complete Meder routine. Try our Skin Quiz or take a pick from the Age Well routine.

Does Arma-Lift Mask have the same effect as Arma-Lift active care serum?

Arma-Lift Mask contains plant-based EGF which increases and optimises the skin’s renewal and the synthesis of all structural elements. Arma-Lift Mask helps prevent age related changes in the skin, brightens and stimulates regeneration.

Arma-Lift active care serum affects various skin structures, helps protect the cells agains free radicals, suppresses age-related inflammation (inflammaging) and restores elasticity. We recommend using the active care serum daily and the mask once a week for best results.

Do Eu-Seb active care serum and Eu-Seb Mask have the same effect?

Eu-Seb Mask has an anti-inflammatory and soothing effect, reduces sebum production and keeps the skin matte for several days after use. Eu-Seb active care serum contains prebiotics normalising microbiome and decreasing the activity of pathogenic bacteria which cause acne and inflammation while increasing the growth of good bacteria which, in their turn, restore the skin’s natural protection.

Eu-Seb Mask creates a perfect medium for the growth of healthy microbiome maximising the effect of Eu-Seb active care. For best results use Eu-Seb active care serum daily, morning and night, and Eu-Seb Mask once or twice a week, always after the active care serum. Combine with other microbiome-friendly skincare from our acne routine.

Can I combine Eu-Seb active care with other acne therapy?

We have always advised to avoid retinol and alpha-hydroxy acids or AHAs while using Eu-Seb active care .

However, after the 2022 upgrade you can rest assured, they will not negate the normalising anti-acne effect of Eu-Seb. In fact, retinol and AHAs may just be excessive as Eu-Seb contains bioflavonoids from the Indonesian Maclura plant stem cells with the same effect as retinoic acid but without the side effects.

Prebiotics working together with Maclura bioflavonoids and Noni plant stem cells normalise your microbiome and restore your healthy skin flora.

However, if you are undergoing antibiotic-based treatment for acne, using triclosan, alcohol etc, you should:

  1. Definitely get a second opinion because today there are plenty more advanced and less traumatic acne treatments available!
  2. If you go forward with it, include Eu-Seb active care in your routine to give your microbiome much needed support.

For best results combine Eu-Seb active care with other microbiome-friendly Meder products.

Is Hydra-Fill Mask the same as Hydra-Fill active care?

Hydra-Fill active care serum and Mask affect the skin differently. Hydra-Fill active care serum has a more pronounced stimulating effect, restoring the synthesis of the agents and substances which enhance the skin’s moisturising and preventing flaking. Hydra-Fill Mask, on the other hand brightens the skin and instantly smooths it out with the glowing effect lasting for several days. After using the mask, the skin’s condition allows for a stronger effect of the active serum's active molecules.

We recommend using the active care serum and mask together, the former daily and the latter once or twice a week. For best results combine with other Meder skincare.

What are the DOs and DON'Ts of using Lipo-Oval active care serum?

Lipo-Oval active care is easy to use and insert in your skin care routine. Apply the serum twice a day to the puffy areas on your face, usually cheeks and chin, follow with your day cream.

The active ingredients of Lipo-Oval are very stable and can be combined with any skincare of your choosing.

For best results combine with Lipo-Oval Mask once a week or try the complete Meder routine. Build yours using our Skin Quiz or look at our routine for puffiness.

What's the difference between Lipo-Oval active care serum and Lipo-Oval Mask?

Lipo-Oval Mask has a strong draining effect helping remove excessive liquid from facial soft tissue and strengthen the capillary system.

Lipo-Oval active care works on facial fat with a more pronounced fat-splitting action which is enhanced to its full potential by the mask. We recommend combining active care serum and mask for best results. This doesn’t mean that one won’t work without the other, but together they have maximum effect on the skin.

Can I combine Myo-Fix active care cream with other skincare?

Myo-Fix is easy to introduce in your routine and can be combined with most skincare products with just 2 important exceptions.

We do NOT recommend combining Myo-Fix active care cream with:

  • skincare with retinol or its derivatives;
  • alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs).

Both retinol and AHAs are very harsh ingredients that can destroy fragile peptide molecules and really diminish or even negate the effect of your wrinkle correction. We urge you to put away retinol skincare for the 5-week Myo-Fix course to experience the skin smoothing and immobilising effect.

Try Meder routine for mimic wrinkles instead or build your own with our Skin Quiz.

Can I use Myo-Fix if I already had botox?

Yes, absolutely. Myo-Fix will help maintain the results of your botox treatment and even postpone your next injection course. We recommend starting the application of Myo-Fix active care 16-18 weeks after you had botox. Start with Myo-Fix active care cream twice a day for 5 weeks and then once a day for another 5 weeks.

Can I use Myo-Fix if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?

Yes, of course. Myo-Fix was first created with pregnant women in mind.

Unlike injection solutions, Myo-Fix does not penetrate deeper than skin and does not affect your nerve endings or enter your bloodstream. Myo-Fix active care cream does not have a systemic effect on your body or on the unborn baby, nor can it get into the breast milk. It is perfectly safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

My skin feels numb after using Myo-Fix active care. Is it normal?

Yes, this is perfectly normal and means you're applying the active care cream correctly. As peptides work on the muscle fibre intertwined with your forehead skin, you may feel a little numb in the areas of application and your habitual frowning movement may be a little strained. This is done to protect your skin from creasing due to involuntary facial expression, when you frown or raise your eyebrows without thinking about it or intending to.

The numbness will pass after a couple of weeks and you will always have full control over your facial expression. Remember: peptides only affect the skin, they do not enter your blood stream and are safe to use even when you're pregnant or breastfeeding.

For best results exfoliate regularly and combine Myo-Fix active care with Myo-Fix Mask.

Will Myo-Fix active care cream paralyse my face?

Myo-Fix active care cream contains peptides which gradually immobilise facial muscles at the points of their connection with the skin. This way you still have full control over facial expression, but involuntary movements that you’re not even aware of gradually stop and the skin creases a lot less. Some peptides in Myo-Fix also increase the skin renewal keeping your forehead smooth for months.

We don’t use the word “paralyse” to describe the effect of Myo-Fix because unlike botox, Myo-Fix active care cream does not affect the muscle’s actual mobility. With more relaxed facial muscles wrinkles gradually smooth while your face retains natural expression and you can still frown or raise your eyebrows if you want to.

Which active care product should I use to ease hot flushes when going through menopause?

We recommend Red-Apax active care serum. For best results try the whole redness routine.

What are sheet masks for?

Active care products and masks have different formulations, but they complement each other. Masks have such a powerful effect on the skin that we recommend using them no more than once or twice a week. Meder masks are aimed at enhancing and maintaining the effect of active aesthetic correction achieved by the use of active care products and other solutions.

However, all Meder masks can also be used on their own. Use the masks after cleanser, exfoliating mask (if using), serum, active care product (if using), and before face oil and cream.

Can I reuse Meder sheet masks?

No, please don't. As good as our sheet masks are they are meant to be applied just once and discarded afterwards. Meder sheet masks are made of organic bamboo and are compostable/biodegradable.

Does Arma-Lift Mask have the same effect as Arma-Lift active care serum?

Arma-Lift Mask contains plant-based EGF which increases and optimises the skin’s renewal and the synthesis of all structural elements. Arma-Lift Mask helps prevent age related changes in the skin, brightens and stimulates regeneration.

Arma-Lift active care serum affects various skin structures, helps protect the cells agains free radicals, suppresses age-related inflammation (inflammaging) and restores elasticity. We recommend using the serum daily and the mask once a week for best results.

Do Eu-Seb active care serum and Eu-Seb Mask have the same effect?

Eu-Seb Mask has an anti-inflammatory and soothing effect, reduces sebum production and keeps the skin matte for several days after use. Eu-Seb active care serum contains prebiotics normalising microbiome and decreasing the activity of pathogenic bacteria which cause acne and inflammation while increasing the growth of good bacteria which, in their turn, restore the skin’s natural protection.

Eu-Seb Mask creates a perfect medium for the growth of healthy microbiome maximising the effect of Eu-Seb active care serum. For best results use Eu-Seb active care serum daily, morning and night, and Eu-Seb Mask once or twice a week, always after the active care serum. Combine with other microbiome-friendly skincare or treat yourself to a course of anti-acne facials.

Is Hydra-Fill Mask the same as Hydra-Fill active care serum?

Hydra-Fill active care serum and Mask affect the skin differently. Hydra-Fill active care serum has a more pronounced stimulating effect, restoring the synthesis of the agents and substances which enhance the skin’s moisturising and preventing flaking. Hydra-Fill Mask, on the other hand brightens the skin and instantly smooths it out with the glowing effect lasting for several days. After using the mask, the skin’s condition allows for a stronger effect of the active care serum's active molecules.

We recommend using serum and mask together, the former daily and the latter once or twice a week. For best results combine with other Meder skincare.

What's the difference between Lipo-Oval active care serum and Lipo-Oval Mask?

Lipo-Oval Mask has a strong draining effect helping remove excessive liquid from facial soft tissue and strengthen the capillary system.

Lipo-Oval active care serum works on facial fat with a more pronounced fat-splitting action which is enhanced to its full potential by the mask. We recommend combining serum and mask for best results. This doesn’t mean that one won’t work without the other, but together they have maximum effect on the skin.

Does Myo-Fix Mask paralyse the face?

Myo-Fix Mask does not paralyse the face. The effect is more relaxed facial muscles and a naturally serene expression.

How does Myo-Fix Mask work?

Peptide SYN®-AKE, a lab imitation of Indian viper’s venom, reduces muscle contraction by preventing the muscles from receiving the nervous impulse to move. While it doesn’t immobilise facial muscles entirely, it can relax them and erase that tense, stressed expression from your face. Myo-Fix Mask was designed to increase the effect of Myo-Fix active care serum, however, like all Meder Beauty masks, it can be used on its own.

Dr Meder’s tip: apply Myo-Fix Mask before a stressful meeting to help you maintain calm, relaxed facial expression.

Other beneficial ingredients: peptide complex Matrixyl-3000 (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7) accelerates skin regeneration and healing and increase the synthesis of all structural elements of the dermis: hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin. Peptide Skinasensyl (Acetyl Tetrapeptide-15) calms the skin and suppresses irritation. The moisturising complex of olive oil, shea butter, gluconolactone, urea and vitamin E softens and moisturises the skin accelerating its renewal.

I have oily skin. Can I use Vita-Long Oil?

You can use Vita-Long Oil regardless of your skin type or sebum production. Remember to apply only a small amount of Vita-Long Oil as it is very active care serumd, and if you are concerned with excess sebum production, use it only once a day.

When used correctly and consistently, Vita-Long Oil actually normalises the activity of sebaceous glands, tightens pores and helps restore the skin’s barrier function.

How should I store Vita-Long Oil?

Vita-Long does not requier any special storage. You can store it together with your other skincare in the bathroom cabinet or on a bedside table or in any other preferred place.

Don’t expose the tubes to the open sun and don’t let them get too warm.

Always close the tubes after use.

When you first open the tube, twist off the small cap on top, then turn it upside down and reseal the tube.

I have combination skin. Which Meder cream should I choose?

If you have oily skin in the T-zone (forehead, nose and chin) and normal to dry skin in the other areas of the face we would recommend using Equa-Derm Cream in the morning to normalise the sebum production, and Salva-Derm Cream in the evening to keep the skin calm and matte without overcorrecting the activity of sebaceous glands.

Should I use Derma-Fill routinely?

You can use Derma-Fill Cream routinely as your day cream or add it as an extra moisturising step in your routine, followed by one of Meder Beauty other creams.

Derma-Fill Cream moisturises the skin, maintains microbiome health and provides some level of protection against air pollution. If you live in an urban or highly polluted area, we recommend applying Derma-Fill Cream as an extra layer before your cream or SPF or makeup foundation.

Still unsure? Try a sample!

When can I start using eye cream?

We believe that you can start using eye cream when you feel like you need it. If you are concerned with dark circles, puffy eye lids, bags under eyes, you can start using Blepharo-Light Eye Cream at any age.

Blepharo-Rich Eye Cream is recommended when you notice signs of ageing in the eye area, such as wrinkles, fine lines, thin and dry skin. All of these don’t usually appear until you’re well into your 40s, but can sometimes manifest as signs of stress. If signs of ageing are a concern for you, try Blepharo-Rich.

Both creams can be used together, in which case we recommend Blepharo-Light in the morning and Blepharo-Rich at night before bed.

Can I use Arma-Bust Cream during pregnancy?

All Meder skincare is pregnancy-friendly!

Arma-Bust Cream can help prevent stretch marks and maintain skin elasticity during pregnancy. We recommend using Arma-Bust continuously throughout pregnancy and continue during breast feeding period.

Can I use Arma-Bust Cream during breastfeeding?

Yes, but do make sure that there is no cream on your nipples when you nurse the baby. Even the best cream is not baby food. Start using the cream when the gaps between feedings are long enough for you to have the time to remove the traces of cream from your nipples.

Otherwise there are no limitations.

You can try our other pregnancy and breastfeeding friendly body care, such as Heavy-Legs relief gel, biological deodorant Body-Day and our hand creams.

Can I use my face cream on my neck?

Yes, it's absolutely fine. You can apply to your neck the same skincare you use on your face.

However, we have in our range a more effective solution created specially for the skin on the neck.

Arma-Neck Cream makes neck skin softer and more elastic whilst reducing the consequences of UV damage, bad posture and ageing.

Which is the right Meder active care product for me?

You can choose Meder active care depending on your skin concerns.

  • Frown lines on the forehead, around eyes and mouth — Myo-Fix
  • Acne, oily and problem skin — Eu-Seb.
  • Double chin, puffy face, bags under eyes, dull greyish or blotchy complexion — Lipo-Oval.
  • Dry skin, dull complexion, tired and stressed look — Hydra-Fill.
  • Ageing, mature skin with fine lines — Arma-Lift.

If a Meder aesthetic therapist is available to you, ask them for skin diagnostic and advice.

You can try or Skin Quiz for recommendations.

How to use Arma-Lift?

Arma-Lift is designed to firm up the skin and fight age-related changes. We recommend applying Arma-Lift active care serum to the clean skin of face and neck daily, morning and night. You can even apply it to the eyelids to reduce the signs of ageing and stress.

How to use Eu-Seb?

Eu-Seb is part of Meder acne routine.

We recommend applying Eu-Seb active care serum daily to the skin of your whole face and neck, not just on the inflamed areas.

Please refrain from applying AHA-acids, alcohol and retinol (including all of its derivatives) during Eu-Seb therapy.

Eu-Seb active care serum contains prebiotic BioEcolia®, highly beneficial for skin microbiome.

How to use Hydra-Fill?

We recommend applying Hydra-Fill active care serum to the clean skin of face and neck, avoiding eye area.

How to use Lipo-Oval?

Lipo-Oval active care serum helps reduce facial fat depot and bring down puffiness. We recommend applying Lipo-Oval daily to the clean skin of face and neck, paying special attention to the areas most prone to swelling and depositing fat. As ordinarily forehead and temple zone doesn’t retain excess liquid or fat, you don’t need to apply the active care serum there if you don’t want to.

How to use Myo-Fix?

Myo-Fix active care cream is recommended for the correction of expression lines on the forehead, crow’s feet in the corners of the eyes, crease between the eyebrows.

It is very important to apply Myo-Fix to cleansed and prepared skin (use cleanser and serum every time before active care cream). Apply a small amount of Myo-Fix directly to the wrinkles and rub it in with a cotton stick.

Avoid all types of retinol and AHAs while using Myo-Fix.

How to use Red-Apax?

Red-Apax is perfect for redness, sensitivity, rosacea and hot flushes. Apply to clean skin twice a day, morning and night. After 5 weeks you can apply Red-Apax once a day at your preferred time.

Follow with Meder cream for sensitive skin.

How to use Vita-Long?

We recommend applying Vita-Long Oil to clean skin AFTER your cleanser, serum, active care serum and mask if using.

Open the tube and apply a small amount of oil, drop after drop, to face, neck and décolleté. Follow with your day cream, if desired.

How to combine cleanser and serum?

We recommend using cleanser and serum from the same range: Net-Apax Cleanser + Soin-Apax Serum for sensitive skin, and Nrj-Net Cleanser + Nrj-Soin Serum in all other cases.

How to combine cleanser and serum?

We recommend using cleanser and serum from the same range: Net-Apax Cleanser + Soin-Apax Serum for sensitive skin, and Nrj-Net Cleanser + Nrj-Soin Serum in all other cases.

Always wash your face with a chosen cleanser first and follow with the serum.

Can I use Enzy-Peel Mask after laser?

You should be very careful choosing after-laser skincare.

With laser treatments, a lot depends on the goals and methods of impact.

If you had a non-ablative treatment and have no scabs, you can start exfoliating with microbiome-friendly Enzy-Peel Mask in 3–4 weeks after the treatment.

If the treatment was ablative it would be best to wait 8–10 weeks after the shedding of scabs because skin is very sensitive at this time and too thin to exfoliate safely.

Which cleanser is better after laser or chemical peel?

We recommend Net-Apax after any skin injury, including surgery.

Net-Apax Prebiotic Cleansing Mask cleanses the skin gently, maintaining and restoring natural protective mantle. Provides soothing and anti-inflammatory effect.

Which is the right serum for me?

It's easy to choose a Meder serum.

If your skin is sensitive and/or damaged, you need calming and soothing Soin-Apax Serum.

If sensitivity is not a concern, use Nrj-Soin Serum. This serum is especially beneficial for smokers.

Which is the right Meder cream for me?

We recommend choosing the cream by sebum production, or skin type.

For dry skin, Arma-Derm Cream is best, it’ll quickly restore the feeling of comfort and softness.

Oily skin needs Equa-Derm Cream: it reduces the sebum production by 30% in the first few weeks, helps conquer inflammation and tighten pores.

If you have normal skin or sensitive skin without any signs of oiliness or dryness, we recommend Salva-Derm Cream to prevent age-related changes, moisturise and calm the skin.

You can also use Derma-Fill as your day cream, it is light and universal, perfect as makeup primer.

Circa-Night cream is suitable for all skin types, helping skin look fresh in the morning even at times of stress and no sleep.

Which Meder serum is better for couperosis and red skin?

If you have red skin with broken capillaries or couperosis, we recommend Soin-Apax.

Soin-Apax serum has high concentration of centella asiatica extract.

Asiaticoside and madecassoside found in centella stimulate and strengthen the capillaries reducing redness and evening out the complexion.

Which serum is better for skin brightening?

Nrj-Soin Serum has a mild brightening effect whilst boosting your antioxidant protection.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) and Citrus Medica extract decrease melanin production and transfer to the epidermis but also help visibly improve enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, fine lines and wrinkles, dullness, and a weakened surface.

However, in many cases pigmentation can be attributed to increased skin sensitivity. For sensitive skin, we would recommend the soothing combo of Net-Apax Cleanser + Soin-Apax Serum for at least 2–3 months, after which you can proceed to chosen therapy aimed at skin brightening and evening out the complexion.

Skin brightening is tricky, make sure to seek advice from a trusted beauty professional.

Why don't you have toners in your range?

We see no need to apply toning water solutions. Meder offers serums instead. Both our serums have the desired stimulating and moisturising effect while also enhancing the effect of active care serums, masks and creams.

Do you have any products for men?

We do not have a dedicated range for men, however all Meder skincare is suitable for men.

We recommend to start with these:

  • Enzy-Peel Mask for enzyme exfoliation twice a week.
  • Derma-Fill Prebiotic Cream to calm skin, help heal microinjuries, prevent pigmentation and irritation. You can use it after washing your face or shaving, morning and night.
  • If you don’t like washing your face with shaving foam/gel or soap, your skin may be sensitive. Get Net-Apax Prebiotic Cleanser and use it instead of soap twice a day.
  • If you have bags under eyes, get an eye cream to improve microcirculation in the eye area, Blepharo-Light Cream, and apply it to the skin around the eyes, morning and night. Tip: store it on the fridge door and apply cool, it feels great.

Can Lipo-Oval reduce double chin?

Lipo-Oval active care serum helps reduce puffiness, drain excess liquid and increase fat splitting.

However, to determine the causes of double chin and the best course of treatment, we recommend seeking advice from a professional. They may offer a course of professional Lipo-Oval Treatment, perhaps combined with machine methods.

Lipo-Oval active care serum and mask can be used at home while you're having professional treatments.

If you have some localised facial puffiness or only a slight double chin, Lipo-Oval should be able to help.

Should I use face cream before my SPF?

Generally, yes, because face cream and sunscreen have different functions and provide different kinds of protection.

If you’re planning a beach vacation or live in a sunny climate you can choose a lighter Derma-Fill Cream or Vita-Long Oil instead, followed by your sunscreen. In this case you would apply face cream only once a day before bed.
