FAQ

Q: I'm new to vitamin C - is C-Tetra® Cream suitable for beginners?
A: Absolutely. C-Tetra® Cream is specifically formulated as the perfect introduction to vitamin C skincare. The stabilised tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate used in this formula is exceptionally gentle yet effective, making it ideal for those new to vitamin C or those with sensitive skin. Unlike traditional ascorbic acid which can cause irritation, this lipid-soluble form provides professional results with minimal sensitivity. Our skincare experts recommend starting with C-Tetra® Cream to build tolerance and experience the transformative benefits of vitamin C.

Q: Can I use C-Tetra® Cream if I have sensitive skin?
A: Yes, C-Tetra® Cream has been dermatologically tested and is specifically suitable for sensitive skin types. The formula uses tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, a stabilised form of vitamin C that delivers powerful antioxidant protection without the irritation often associated with traditional vitamin C products. However, as with any new skincare product, we recommend conducting a patch test before first use to ensure compatibility with your individual skin.

Q: How does C-Tetra® Cream differ from the C-Tetra serum?
A: Both products feature Medik8's proven C-Tetra technology with stabilised vitamin C, but in different formats. The original C-Tetra serum is oil-based with jojoba seed oil for a lightweight, concentrated delivery, whilst C-Tetra® Cream offers the same antioxidant benefits in a silky, more nourishing cream format with additional hydration from hyaluronic acid and Moisture Magnets™. The cream is ideal for those who prefer a single-step moisturiser that combines brightening and hydration, or for those with normal to dry skin seeking extra nourishment alongside their vitamin C benefits.

Q: When will I see visible results from using C-Tetra® Cream?
A: Individual results may vary, but many users notice an immediate boost in skin radiance and hydration upon first application. With consistent daily use, you can expect to see progressive improvements in skin tone evenness, fine line appearance and overall complexion luminosity. The stabilised vitamin C formula works cumulatively to build collagen and provide antioxidant protection, with optimal results achieved through long-term use as part of your morning skincare routine. For enhanced age-defying results, pair with vitamin A at night following Medik8's CSA Philosophy.

Q: Should I still use sunscreen after applying C-Tetra® Cream?
A: Yes, absolutely. Whilst C-Tetra® Cream provides powerful antioxidant protection against environmental free radicals, it does not contain SPF. As part of Medik8's pioneering CSA Philosophy (Vitamin C + Sunscreen by day), we strongly recommend following C-Tetra® Cream with a broad-spectrum sunscreen of at least SPF 30. Vitamin C and sunscreen work synergistically to provide comprehensive protection against premature ageing - the vitamin C neutralises free radicals whilst sunscreen prevents UV damage. Speak to our experts about pairing C-Tetra® Cream with Medik8's Advanced Day Total Protect for complete daily defence.

Q: Can I use C-Tetra® Cream during pregnancy or whilst breastfeeding?
A: The formula does not contain any ingredients that Medik8 typically advises avoiding during pregnancy. However, as a cosmetics company, Medik8 is unable to provide medical advice for specific conditions. We recommend discussing the ingredient list with your physician or obstetrician before use to ensure it's appropriate for your individual circumstances during pregnancy or whilst breastfeeding.
