Serums

Previously known as Medik8 C-Tetra Intense, this renewed and reformulated update is better than ever. If you're looking for amplified results, Medik8 C-Tetra Luxe is the perfect upgrade from the Medik8 C-Tetra Serum, C-Tetra Cream or Daily Radiance Vitamin C. Fight visible signs of ageing, restore radiance and repair free radical damage with the new and improved C-Tetra Luxe (previously known as the C-Tetra Intense, and CE-Tetra). This serum is stronger than the C-Tetra formula, boosted with additional brightening and nourishing ingredients as well as 100% stable Vitamin C that remains potent and highly effective until you've finished the bottle!

Rediscover youthful skin with Crystal Retinal 6™, Medik8’s latest innovation in vitamin A. Formulated with 0.06% stabilised retinal, a powerful derivative of vitamin A with next-generation anti-ageing results. Unmatched in its age-defying power, retinal can deliver results comparable to clinical-grade vitamin A up to 11 times faster than classic forms of retinol. The ground-breaking overnight serum visibly minimises fine lines and wrinkles; firming and plumping the complexion to resurface skin texture and soften the face. Featuring hyaluronic acid, glycerin and vitamin E, it hydrates skin at every level to deliver a supple, even-toned, more youthful-looking complexion. More than that, it actively helps reduce blemish-causing bacteria to keep skin clear and balanced. In just 4 weeks, skin is noticeably younger, smoother and undeniably radiant.2 Crystal Retinal 6 is perfect for those who are new to vitamin A or who are looking to upgrade their retinol results.

Supercharge your night-time routine with this lightweight vitamin A serum. Deeply hydrating and easily absorbed, it features an intelligent Time Release system that prevents irritation and ensures retinol is evenly distributed across the skin. Upgraded with climbazole to kick-start your anti-ageing results, plus squalane to leave skin hydrated and supple, you will notice a rejuvenated, refined and more youthful-looking complexion. Formulated with our highest strength retinol (1%) and supported by vitamin E for enhanced stability, this fast-absorbing serum is perfect for those who have already been using Retinol 6TR in their regime and are looking for a higher strength.

The ultimate plant-based, anti-ageing alternative for vitamin A. Designed to help promote a more youthful complexion, the lightweight, oil-based serum harnesses the gentle power of 1.25% pure bakuchiol. A clinically proven alternative to retinol that is ideal for those that can’t use vitamin A - eg when pregnant or nursing* as it is not recommended during this time. Bakuchiol Peptides is enhanced with brightening peptide precursors, which help to maintain a glowing, even complexion. The lilac-hued formula is also infused with cica (centella asiatica), an ingredient perfect for soothing inflamed, sensitive skin. Photostable, Bakuchiol Peptides can be used both day and night, for accelerated visible anti-ageing results. Perfect for those looking for a substitute for vitamin A in their CSA routines. *Of course, due to ethical considerations the Bakuchiol Peptides formula has not been tested on pregnant women, but there is nothing in the formula which is known to be an issue (eg vitamin A or high levels of exfoliating acids). If you are at all concerned, always consult your doctor. Bakuchiol & Pregnancy While applying vitamin A topically in skincare hasn’t been shown to cause problems in pregnancy or breastfeeding, as very little gets absorbed into the body through the skin, doctors (and Medik8) recommend avoiding, just in case, due to the known risks of high-dose vitamin A ingestion. Bakuchiol on the other hand, has been shown to have retinol-like effects but does not have the same mechanism of action as vitamin A so there is no real reason to link the two. We cannot find any documented evidence as to why Bakuchiol should be avoided during pregnancy, and we happily recommend it on that basis. Many experts including doctors and other brands are stating that bakuchiol is perfectly safe in pregnancy. As most cosmetic ingredients are untested on pregnant women, there is no way of definitively saying anything is specifically ‘safe for pregnancy’ which is why we do not more boldly state “safe for pregnancy”.

Sometimes life gets in the way of perfect skin. Lack of sleep, poor diet, alcohol, stress, hormones and the list goes on. Everything and anything can affect your skin; leaving it blemish-prone and dull. That’s where Clarity Peptides comes in as a skin perfecting peptide complex to help enhance your skin’s natural luminosity. It contains three potent actives: 10% niacinamide which calms and soothes redness, blotchy skin and blemishes, Crystalide peptide which adds light reflection for a translucent skin effect, and zinc PCA that minimises sebum production and balances skin bacteria to tackle blemishes. Achieve visibly perfected, luminous skin when you need it most.

Infuse your skin with intense hydration and long-lasting moisture with Hydr8 B5, Medik8’s best-selling moisturising serum. Known for holding up to 1,000x its own weight in water, multi-weight hyaluronic acid draws and binds water from the atmosphere into the skin. Using an optimum blend of hyaluronic acid weights ensures skin is seriously moisturised from the deepest layers right up to the surface. Enriched with vitamin B5 to improve skin’s water retention and regeneration, skin is left plump and noticeably hydrated. The fast-absorbing, silky-smooth serum softens fine lines and wrinkles to leave skin supple, restored and nourished.

Restore radiance and fight visible signs of ageing with C-Tetra, a super-light daily vitamin C serum. Antioxidant power is provided through vitamin C and E. Together, these actives help to combat sun and pollution-induced damage. The lightweight, uplifting formula helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as visibly brightening the complexion and balancing skin tone. Using a lipid-soluble form of vitamin C called tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, the formula penetrates deep into skin to provide powerful antioxidant protection with minimal irritation. C-Tetra has been carefully crafted in a water-free formula to be 100% stable, which means that the vitamin C does not degrade over time. This ensures that your formula remains highly potent from the very first use to the final drop. Formulated with nourishing, pampering oils combined with the anti-ageing power of vitamin C, this fast-absorbing vitamin C serum is ideal for those looking for skin rejuvenation. Perfect for those who are new to vitamin C, or are looking to upgrade from C-Tetra Cream or Daily Radiance Vitamin C.
