FAQ

Can beginners use this?
Yes — despite its 20% concentration, the gentle THDA form of vitamin C is designed to suit all skin types, including those new to vitamin C.
How does it layer with other products?
Apply thinnest to thickest. As an emulsion, it goes over water- and oil-based serums but before moisturiser and SPF.
Can I use it with Crystal Retinal (vitamin A)?
Yes — Medik8 recommends pairing vitamin C by day with vitamin A by night as part of its CSA Philosophy.
Does it contain fragrance?
No synthetic fragrance — just a subtle, naturally derived citrus scent from a low concentration of essential oils.
