Medik8 C-Tetra Vitamin C Serum - 30ml

Medik8 C-Tetra® is a revolutionary ultra-stable vitamin C serum which helps combat sun-induced damage to the skin, trigger collagen synthesis,
increase the skin’s elasticity and density as well as improve the skin’s texture and brighten the complexion. Designed for both men and women
in their mid-20s to 40s.

Regular vitamin C is very unstable and many typical vitamin C products are inactive by the time they are used on the skin, in some cases, they
have become pro-oxidant and actually generate free radicals! Ground-breaking stability data on C-Tetra guarantees real vitamin C activity and
best of all, unlike L-ascorbic acid (regular vitamin C), C-Tetra will not exfoliate or irritate skin.

C-Tetra® contains 3% Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, the most potent and highly stable derivative of vitamin C available.
C-Tetra has been shown to have upto 4 times the potency L-ascorbic acid and other derivatives such as MAP (magnesium ascorbyl phosphate).

Tetrasubstituted Lipophilic Ascorbates are the holy grail of vitamin C derivatives and tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate (C-Tetra) is the leader in the
class. Medik8 offer tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate in a very simple vehicle to ensure the absence of interference from other ingredients that would
be present in a regular emulsion cream or gel. Contrary to the misguided assumptions of even some expert skincare formulators, adding more
antioxidant types or just loading concentration of one antioxidant in a formula can actually reduce the antioxidant effect of the product.
Medik8 antioxidants have been tested throughout development and Medik8 have patents pending on innovations following this pioneering
antioxidant research.

C-Tetra activity has been strengthened by the addition of a natural form of vitamin E (d-alpha isomer). Natural vitamin E and vitamin C work
together synergistically in order to stabilise and 'recharge' each other. They prevent each from oxidising when they are co-applied to the skin
