'I've finally found a vitamin C serum for my blemish-prone skin with results in days'


Much-loved skincare brand Medik8 has just launched a stabilised vitamin C in a gel-serum texture, designed to get visibly brighter skin and reduced wrinkles in just seven days

However, not all skin types, including sensitive or spot-prone complexions like mine, tolerate vitamin C serums and creams well. C-Tetra Advanced has a lightweight gel-cream consistency (Image: Laura Mulley)It did provide a slight immediate brightening and evening out effect on my face, but it was after about a week of using it that I really started to notice a difference: my skin felt much softer and smoother, looked generally healthier, and my foundation appeared fresher and less patchy. C-Tetra Advanced also has quite a strong fragrance (likely because vitamin C doesn't usually have a pleasant smell); this isn't something I have an issue with, but if your skin is very sensitive to scent, you might want to opt for something like CeraVe Skin Renewing 10% Pure Vitamin C Serum, priced at £29.
