One that has become a staple for many beauty enthusiasts is Medik8's C-Tetra range, with the celebrity approved brand's range of serums said to "visibly reduce" wrinkles and hyperpigmentation within four weeks.

Retailing at £69 for a 30ml bottle, this serum has been designed to be used in a morning skincare routine, using a powerful formula that works to "defend against premature skin ageing and achieve accelerated visible skin brightening."
Said to be infused with a next-generation combination of 20 percent vitamin C and cutting edge phyto exosomes, it helps to shield and improve the skin from any environmental aggressors that can cause early signs of ageing.
The "intelligent" formula provides smarter, not harsher, results, with skin tone said to be "visibly brightened" in just seven days, leaving a soft, smooth, even complexion.
It also offers a unique texture, acting as a gel-serum that is said to be "fast absorbing", leaving the skin "instantly refreshed", while also hydrating, priming and smoothing.
