What is Medik8 C-Tetra Advanced and what does it do?
C-Tetra Advanced is a high-performance vitamin C serum designed to brighten the skin, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and provide antioxidant protection. It combines stabilised 20% vitamin C with phyto exosomes and acetyl zingerone to shield skin from environmental stressors while supporting overall skin resilience and radiance.
How do I use Medik8 C-Tetra Advanced?
Apply 2–3 pumps to the face, neck, and décolletage after cleansing and toning. Massage until fully absorbed, then follow with your moisturiser and daily SPF. For best results, consistency is key - using the serum daily helps maintain brightness and strengthens the skin’s antioxidant defence.
Can I use C-Tetra Advanced with other skincare products?
C-Tetra Advanced integrates effortlessly into most skincare routines. In the morning, it works particularly well with moisturisers and sunscreens, such as Medik8 Advanced Day Ultimate Protect, to provide optimal protection against environmental stressors. In the evening, it can be paired with a vitamin A product, following Medik8’s CSA philosophy, allowing both treatments to deliver maximum results while minimising the risk of irritation.
Does it provide protection against environmental damage?
Definitely. The combination of vitamin C, phyto exosomes, and acetyl zingerone delivers potent antioxidant defence. This helps neutralise free radicals caused by UV exposure, pollution, and other environmental stressors, reducing oxidative damage and slowing premature ageing.
Can it help with uneven skin tone or dark spots?
Yes, the 20% stabilised vitamin C actively brightens the skin and helps reduce the appearance of dark spots and pigmentation irregularities over time. By neutralising free radicals and supporting healthy skin turnover, it promotes a more even, luminous complexion.
Can I use Medik8 C-Tetra Luxe while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Gentle vitamin C is generally considered safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, since this is a highly potent 20% formulation, we recommend consulting with one of our Skin Experts before introducing it into your routine.
Can it be used as part of a preventative anti-ageing routine?
Yes, incorporating C-Tetra Advanced into your daily regimen helps prevent premature signs of ageing. By protecting the skin from free radical damage and supporting collagen production, it works proactively to maintain youthful, radiant skin.
How should I store C-Tetra Advanced?
To maintain potency and stability, store the serum in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat. Proper storage ensures the vitamin C remains effective and that you get the full benefits of its brightening and protective properties.
