Experience the rejuvenating power of SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 a carefully crafted moisturising face cream designed to breathe new life into dry, sensitive, post-treatment, ageing, sagging skin.
Formulated with key ingredients known for their remarkable benefits:
Pure Ceramides (2%): These essential lipids replenish and strengthen the skin's natural barrier, helping it retain moisture and protect against environmental stressors. Ceramides improve skin texture, firmness, and resilience.
Naturally Occurring Cholesterol (4%): Cholesterol restores the skin's lipid balance, promoting hydration and suppleness. It also aids in repairing the skin's barrier, reducing water loss and preventing dehydration.
Omega Fatty Acids (2%): These fatty acids nourish and hydrate the skin, promoting a plump, youthful appearance. They also have anti-inflammatory properties, soothing sensitive or irritated skin.
As skin ages, it tends to lose its natural oils or lipids, like ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids, which are essential for it’s protective barrier. This leads to faster signs of aging and reduces the skin's ability to repair itself.

This cream leaves your skin feeling nourished and comfortable without any greasy residue. It's been scientifically proven to visibly improve skin smoothness, firmness, pore size and radiance.
Benefits of SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2:
- Refills essential skin lipids, like ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids.
- Enhances skin fullness, texture and pore size.
- Improves skin tones & skin radiance
- Provides enhanced hydration within 24 hours.
- Ideal for mature, ageing or compromised skin.
- Supports skin recovery after chemical peels, microneedling, laser resurfacing or surgery
Formulated with a combination of ceramides, cholesterol and omega fatty acids, it boosts hydration levels while strengthening the barrier to prevent moisture loss and dehydration.
This helps plump and firm sagging skin, giving you a fuller, more radiant complexion with a soft, supple feel.
Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 is a corrective moisturiser specifically designed to address age-related lipid loss. It’s lightweight, fast-absorbing formula provides visible improvements in skin smoothness, pore size, fullness, and radiance.

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
- Non-irritating, lightweight, and easy to layer under moisturiser or sunscreen
