Reviews

Powerful vitamin C serum, brightens skin well!

"I've been using Super C Ferulic for a few weeks, and it really helps brighten my skin tone and fade dark spots. The formula is potent and gives my skin a healthy glow. It has a slight tingle upon application at first, but my skin adjusted quickly. Overall a great vitamin C serum for a brighter complexion!"

My current vitamin C

"This has been my go to vitamin c for awhile now. It's the strongest vitamin c i've ever used. It is a thick serum and coats my face well while also adding moisture and plumping. I have age/dark spots that I can't say this removed but I do think it keeps them to a minimum."

It’s good

"I’ve been using this Super C for about 6 months now. I’m hesitant to give a 5 star as I don’t think I’ve used it long enough to see full results. I’m 57 and have used different vitamin C products for the last few years. High end to inexpensive and in between. My goal with this Medik8 Super C was to be consistent for 1 full year to see if it does actually work better than the other products I’ve used. So far I do like it and I’ve seen some dark spots slightly diminished more than in the past with other products. I’ll wait until I’ve used it for a full year to give a full honest review."

Former Skinceutical CE Ferulic user

"Used Skinceutical for many years and love the results but decided to give Medik8 a try. I love this more because it does not smell or oxidize (turn brown). Already purchased a backup bottle so I don’t run out."

Might be a holy grail

"Since I started using this, I’ve noticed my melasma improving. I’m not sure if it’s a combination of things, but for sure I noticed a change after I started using this in my routine (I used the tetra gel before). I also like the texture. It feels like an oil but isn’t oily. It works for me as I’m dry and dehydrated in most areas of my face except my nose area, which is more on the oily side."

Some improvement

"I love the Super C Ferulic Serum, I have noticed a slight difference in my pigmentation so will keep on using it and is helping with skin brightness. It spreads nicely over my skin and is fast absorbing. I use it daily along with Crystal Retinol."

— Christine P. (5/5)

Love this product, has made

"Love this product, has made my skin looks so much better. Quick delivery too"

— Shelley W. (5/5)

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!"

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.
Is it ok when breastfeeding ?
