Reviews

Use sparingly.

"In honesty after a tiny area patch test I used this product Incorrectly for 2 days applying 4 drops on my face only. The result was a lot of irritation including burning and skin shedding. I acknowledge that this was completely my fault. I have not used the product for two weeks now but have restarted this morning using just 2 drops to the face. Fingers crossed it will be a success!"

Not sure yet

"I had previously used another vitamin c product from Medik8 which I really like the texture of. This is not quite such a nice texture but not terrible. I purchased because I read it is a more potent form of vitamin c. I think I had some irritation at first but that seems to have settled. Have not noticed a difference in my skin yet but I am hopeful!"

Brightening and easy to use

"I’ve really enjoyed using Super C Ferulic. My skin looks brighter and more even, and it gives me a nice healthy glow without feeling heavy or irritating. It absorbs well and layers nicely under moisturizer and sunscreen. I’m looking forward to seeing even more results with continued use."

I am really impressed with

"I am really impressed with Medik8 Super C Ferulic. Although it has an oil-like texture, it sinks into the skin surprisingly quickly and doesn’t leave my face feeling greasy or heavy. It gives my skin the most amazing healthy glow and makes it look noticeably brighter and more radiant. I also find it layers beautifully with my other Medik8 products, particularly my peptide serum and moisturiser. Everything works really well together without pilling, and my skin feels nourished, smooth and glowing afterwards. A lovely vitamin C product that has become a firm favourite in my routine."

love this Vitamin C serum

"I’ve ben using Super C Ferulic for a month and I’m very pleased. The formula is effective in brightening my skin but it’s also gentle. With other Vitamin C serums, my skin would become irritated and red after a few days’ use, and I’d have to take a break. But not with Super C Ferulic. Highly recommend"

Exactly the High-Potency Vitamin C I Was Looking For

"I have become a huge fan of Medik8 and was excited to add Super C Ferulic to my skincare collection. I specifically wanted a high-strength vitamin C formula, and the combination of 30% stabilized vitamin C, ferulic acid and vitamin E immediately stood out to me. I also love that the formula is fragrance-free and designed to target brightness, uneven tone, firmness and signs of aging. This is exactly the type of advanced antioxidant treatment I look for in my skincare, and I'm very excited to have it in my morning rotation. Another impressive formulation from Medik8!"

"Been using it for a few weeks now and will definitely buy it again, feels quite greasy when first applied but soon sinks in and then I add the mefik8 liquid peptides , seen a good improvement in skin tone and texture"

much brighter and more even skin

"I’m so impressed with this serum. It has noticeably reduced the appearance of my sun spots and has made my complexion look much brighter and more even. It layers beautifully under my moisturiser and works perfectly in my morning routine. My skin looks much more radiant since I started using it."

Amazing Product & cost effective

"I love this Vitamin C and its well worth the money--compared to others! I love Medik8 products period as they maintain my skin at an optimal level--clear, beautiful glow and I get compliments all the time. While genes are hereditary I believe that the right products can make a difference, and these products do! The super C keeps my skin refreshed, peels a bit but while doing so, diminishes dark spots and hyper-pigmentation. I would buy this again and again."

Q&A

I bought this serum from a well known store in my home country. The consistency is great, clear, almost oily and it feels good on the skin, but the smell is very strong and chemical. The serum in the bottle doesn’t not smell very much, but the pipette and the serum when applied to the skin develope a very almost paint/nail polish like smell. The scent disappears after around 5 minutes. Is this what it should smell like?
Hi Iselin, we're sorry to hear you're concerned with the scent of your Super C Feruilc. Super C Ferulic is based on an ingredient called Methoxymethylbutanol, which has a fairly distinctive smell. This smell should disappear a short time after application.
Hello! I have been using the Bakuchiol peptide serum followed by C-tetra advanced, moisturiser and spf in the morning for a long time and alternate Bakuchiol peptides and Crystal Retinal at night before moisturiser. But I am now considering a more anti-aging vit C serum. Can the Super C ferulic be an alternative to C-tetra advanced in the AM and how should it be layered?
Hi Issa. Yes, absolutely! Super C Ferulic can be used in place of C-Tetra Advanced and is our more potent Vitamin C option, making it a great choice if you’re looking for a stronger anti-ageing Vitamin C step. In the morning, apply Bakuchiol Peptides first, followed by Super C Ferulic, moisturiser and SPF, while you can continue alternating Bakuchiol Peptides and Crystal Retinal in your evening routine as you are currently.
Can I use super c ferulic with your liquid peptides? I have both but not sure which order to use them as part of my morning routine
Hi Jo, using these two products together is absolutely fine. If it is the original Liquid Peptides, then this would be applied prior to Super C Ferulic, however if it is Liquid Peptides Advanced MP, this would be applied after Super C Ferulic.
Hello, Can I use Super C Ferulic and C-Tetra Luxe in the same morning routine? I have just started using C-Tetra Luxe and my skin does not have any adverse effects from it so I am just thinking about adding Super C Ferulic as well. Is that a good idea? Thanks
Hi Gigi, we would advise against using both C Tetra Luxe and Super C Ferulic, as this would largely increase the percentage of vitamin C being applied to your skin and may be sensitising. If your skin is not sensitive, and you feel it could tolerate a higher vitamin C strength, you could look to move to Super C Ferulic after you finish your current bottle.
