Protect your skin from premature ageing

We often hear talk about free radicals in the environment, but do you know why you should protect your skin from them? Keep reading to find out.

The C-Tetra Luxe Serum

After purchasing the C-tetra day cream recently (review here), I was curious to give its n.01 ally a blast. Medik8 has a vast range of anti-ageing products, but this range specifically defends your skin from premature ageing. The Vitamin C-infused serum helps to boost the skin's natural defence while adding a luminous finish to your skin. The silky oil texture gently nourishes your skin; believe it or not, one bottle can last up to six months.

What's Inside?

Inside this brightening protective serum, C-Tetra Luxe Serum, you will find three main actives:

• Vitamin C (14%), Vitamin E, & Vitamin F: This stabilized form of Vitamin C, or “Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, ” has excellent brightening actions and targets signs of ageing. Accompanied by Vitamin F for hydration and vitamin E for cell reparation or protection.
• Maracuja Oil: Helps nourish and repair skin for a healthy glow.
• Fermented Red Ginseng: Reduces puffiness and signs of ageing for smooth, dewy skin.

How Does It Work?

Our skin contains natural antioxidants that help to defend against harmful free radicals. Free radicals are everywhere in our environment and work by latching onto the defenceless skin cells, causing irreparable damage and eventually causing premature skin ageing.

The C-tetra formula blocks this damage and prevents premature skin ageing. Over time visible lines and wrinkles are reduced. The serum targets all signs of ageing, including hyperpigmentation. The skin regains a smooth and clear look.

Pssst: Did you know that when combined, vitamin C and sunscreen give your skin the ultimate protection against the sun?

My Review

What a delight to use this serum. I have fallen in love with its super soft texture and comfortable feeling. It works great under my makeup, and I can see my skin getting clearer over time. I apply the serum every morning before heading out to work. I recommend Medik8 C-Tetra Luxe Serum for normal to dry skin types and combine it with the C-tetra cream for ultimate results.

Protect your skin from premature ageing

I found the best option if you are looking for a new day cream. Combining anti-ageing, protection and comfort, the Tetra-c cream from Medik8.

The C-Tetra Day Cream

As one of the brand's best-selling creams, the C-Tetra delivers visible results quickly. A silky, nourishing texture shields the skin against environmental stressors like pollution and UV exposure. These elements can cause premature skin ageing and dull complexions.
This anti-aging skincare reenergizes the skin by delivering a deep burst of hydration with trustworthy skincare actives. When applied regularly, it improves uneven skin tones and restores radiance.

What's Inside?

Inside this delightful formula is a handful of science-proven actives.

• First up is a moisture-trapping duo: Hyaluronic acid and glycerin. Well known for their hydrating talents, they also help preserve elasticity and comfort in the skin. Penetrating deep into the skin, hyaluronic acid plumps up the cells for a firmer appearance.
• Next is a lipid-soluble form of vitamin C: Star of the antioxidant actives, Vitamin E acts as a barrier to environmental stressors. Helping to protect your skin, your skin gets brighter and has a natural glow as the days go by.
• Last of all is Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate: Otherwise known as Vitamin C. This antioxidant reinforces Vitamin E in protecting the skin. Used for its anti-ageing properties, it also helps to stimulate collagen production for a firmer, smooth look.

My Review

We all love a cream that does it all, and Medik8 didn't hold back when creating the Tetra-c cream. In my late 20's, I always look for the following anti-ageing routine. This cream feels fantastic on the skin and delivers precisely what it promises. The cream leaves a very light protective layer on the skin that is not greasy. My skin instantly felt much more comfortable, and I could see the difference as the days passed. I would 100% recommend this to people living in cities that want to protect their skin from pollution and dust.

After three weeks of application, my skin looked much healthier. The good lies on my forehead had disappeared, and my skin tone seemed smoother. I used this under my makeup with no problems, a true gem!
