Description
Does your skin feel dry and dehydrated while your complexion looks dull and fine lines become more visible? Then Medik8 C-Tetra Luxe (the luxurious lipid vitamin C serum from the Skin Ageing range) is your morning step. The serum was developed specifically for those concerned with skin ageing and sun damage, and for anyone who wants to support the results of skin rejuvenation procedures such as medical needling, IPL, injectables, fillers, chemical peels and lasers. Suitable for all skin types, but especially comforting for dry and dehydrated skin.
How it works
C-Tetra Luxe contains 14% stable, non-irritating vitamin C in the form of tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate – double the amount found in the original C-Tetra. Vitamin C stimulates collagen production and protects against free radicals, leaving skin firmer and visibly more radiant. Squalane holds moisture and softens, vitamin F (ethyl linoleate) supports the skin barrier, and Amazonian maracuja (passion fruit seed) oil nourishes the skin while adding a touch of luxury. The lipid base ensures better penetration of the active ingredients.
Texture and use in your routine
A rich, oil-like texture with a fresh, subtly citrus scent that absorbs quickly without a sticky finish. Apply in the morning to cleansed skin, followed by your sunscreen such as Advanced Day Ultimate Protect SPF 50+. In the evening, apply vitamin A such as Crystal Retinal – exactly the Medik8 CSA philosophy. Prefer a lighter, oil-free feel? Choose the original C-Tetra instead.
Frequently asked questions
Which step of the CSA routine is this?
The C in C-Tetra Luxe stands for vitamin C: the morning step, followed directly by SPF. Vitamin A is used at night.
Can I combine it with Crystal Retinal?
Yes. Use C-Tetra Luxe in the morning and your retinal in the evening so both steps stay comfortable.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
The formula uses a stable, non-irritating form of vitamin C. If your skin is reactive, start a few times a week and build up gradually.

Frequently asked questions
- What is Medik8 C-Tetra Luxe and who is it for?
- Medik8 C-Tetra Luxe is a luxurious vitamin C serum formulated with 14% stable vitamin C and nourishing lipids for powerful anti-aging results. It's suitable for all skin types looking for intensive treatment to improve skin structure, boost radiance, and visibly reduce signs of aging — without a greasy or sticky finish.
- How do I use Medik8 C-Tetra Luxe in my skincare routine?
- Apply a small amount of Medik8 C-Tetra Luxe to cleansed skin on your face and neck, morning and/or evening. Massage gently with upward movements until fully absorbed, then follow with your usual moisturizer. During the day, always finish with sun protection to preserve the serum's benefits.
- What does Medik8 C-Tetra Luxe actually do for my skin?
- Medik8 C-Tetra Luxe stimulates collagen production, neutralizes free radicals, and visibly evens out your complexion. The lipid-rich formula — featuring squalane, jojoba, passion fruit, and sweet almond oil — strengthens the skin barrier and locks in moisture, leaving skin looking firmer, more radiant, and younger over time.
- What makes the vitamin C in Medik8 C-Tetra Luxe different from other serums?
- Medik8 C-Tetra Luxe uses tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, an oil-soluble form of vitamin C that penetrates deeper into the skin than water-soluble alternatives. Once absorbed, it converts into active ascorbic acid for maximum antioxidant and collagen-boosting effect — making it more effective and stable than many standard vitamin C serums.
- Can I combine Medik8 C-Tetra Luxe with vitamin E?
- Yes — Medik8 C-Tetra Luxe already contains tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E), which works synergistically with the vitamin C to amplify the antioxidant effect. This built-in combination means you don't need to layer a separate vitamin E product, simplifying your routine while maximizing results.
- Will Medik8 C-Tetra Luxe feel heavy or greasy on my skin?
- No — despite its rich, lipid-based formula, Medik8 C-Tetra Luxe absorbs quickly and leaves no greasy or sticky residue. The texture is luxurious yet lightweight, making it comfortable to wear both morning and evening, even under moisturizer and SPF.
