How It Works

Medik8 C-Tetra and C-Tetra Luxe serums are formulated with Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, a powerful and stable form of vitamin C. This supercharged antioxidant not only neutralises free radicals but also stimulates collagen synthesis to reduce fine lines and promote a firmer, more youthful look.
Together with vitamin E, these serums form a “network antioxidant” system, offering enhanced protection and a healthy, glowing complexion throughout the day.
Why Choose Medik8 C-Tetra Serums?
- Advanced formulas for daily radiance and long-term skin health
- Perfect for all skin types, including sensitive skin

Designed to deliver visible radiance while remaining gentle on the skin, this skincare tonic uses next-generation polyhydroxy acid (PHA) technology to offer effective exfoliation with minimal risk of sensitivity.
Why Choose Press & Glow?
The core exfoliating ingredient is gluconolactone (PHA 5.5%), a gentle but effective skin exfoliating acid—offering the benefits of surface cell renewal without the irritation commonly associated with more aggressive acids such as glycolic or salicylic.
Proven to be super hydrating—addressing flaky, sensitised skin that can occur after traditional exfoliating acids.

Smooths skin texture & brightens skin-tone: Clinically proven to improve skin glow by approximately 20 % in four weeks and deliver smoother, more even skin surface.
Hydration and barrier support: The PHA Gluconolactone also acts as a humectant, drawing in moisture rather than stripping the skin.
Enhances performance of other actives: Use in tandem with vitamin A or vitamin C serums for improved efficacy.
Ideal for sensitive skin: Clinically shown to be gentle, even on sensitive skin types—96 % of sensitive skin users agreed it was gentle with no stinging.
While this formula is designed for twice-daily use, if you are new to exfoliation consider starting once a day and building up as tolerated.
