Ticks all the boxes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lovely. . . nice consistency, goes on nicely, soaks in nicely, smells nice and definitely helps brighten my dull skin. I must prefer the consistence to this than the some of the more oily vitamin c serums.

Noticeably radiant results
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Seriously good product. The texture is lovely it applies smoothly and effortlessly. I’ve already seen noticeable, visible improvements since adding Tetra C to my routine. My skin looks smoother and more radiant, and it’s become a permanent step in my skin care routine. I’m relatively new to Medik8 and discovered the brand through a friend’s recommendation. Adding Tetra C has genuinely improved the overall appearance of my skin. Highly recommend.

Velvet
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It very much like velvet to apply.
All I can said is, my friend said “are you applying something new to your face as your complexion looks really good”

Sublime under SPF
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having tried other vitamin C creams I was encouraged by a friend to try this. Started by using it in the U. K. but this really came into its own on a recent trip to Marrakesh. I used this u see my SPF 50. It has a lovely texture and sinks in beautifully. There was no pilling when I added my SPF. After 10 day trip in high heat ( sat in the shade with a cap when by the pool; wore a cap when sightseeing) I didn't tan and my skin looked luminous. I am 55, combination skin and have previous sun damage so actively trying to minimise any additional damage. Can't wait to try Exo-PDRN Prismatic+ with this when it arrives.
