Who it is for
Suitable for all skin types, and especially for skin showing visible signs of ageing. Its 20% vitamin C is a gentle stabilised form (tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate), so it is suitable even if you are new to vitamin C. As with any active, introduce it gradually.
How to use
In the morning after cleansing and toning, massage 2–3 pumps across the face, neck and décolletage. Follow with moisturiser and always finish with sunscreen. If you use other serums, apply them from thinnest to thickest: C-Tetra Advanced is an emulsion, so it goes on top of water-based and oil-based serums. If you are new to it, patch test at least 24 hours before first use. Avoid the eye area and use on unbroken skin only.
Please note: it contains a natural citrus fragrance from grapefruit essential oil. Medik8 cannot give advice on pregnancy or breastfeeding and recommends speaking to your GP or midwife before use.

If you're new to C-Tetra Advanced, we recommend a patch test at least 24 hours before first use.
How to use

20% Stabilised Vitamin C (Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate)
A highly potent yet gentle form of vitamin C for dramatic skin brightening and powerful antioxidant protection against premature skin ageing.
Phyto Exosomes
Encapsulated by nature, our phyto exosomes intelligently deliver proteins, lipids, and messenger molecules to skin cells. Together, alongside our supercharged vitamin C, they help prevent & reduce premature skin ageing by supporting healthier-looking, more resilient skin.
Acetyl Zingerone (pronounced ‘a-sea-tul’)
A super-antioxidant that works synergistically with vitamin C, enhancing its efficacy while neutralising ageing free radicals and shielding skin from environmental stressors.
Hyaluronic Acid
Draws moisture into the skin to instantly plump and deeply hydrate for a soft, supple complexion.
N-Acetyl Glucosamine (NAG)
A barrier-supporting, gentle, skin-refiner that smooths the look of pores while helping to increase the skin’s own natural hyaluronic acid levels over time.
