Frequently Asked Questions

When should I use vitamin E in my skincare routine?

Vitamin E is most commonly found in serums, moisturisers or eye creams, where it's often combined with other ingredients like vitamin C or peptides to enhance its antioxidant benefits. You can use it in both your morning and evening routine; in the morning, it helps protect against environmental stress, and at night, it supports skin repair.

Medik8 products such as C-Tetra Advanced and Intelligent Retinol pair vitamin E with stabilised vitamin C or vitamin A to boost efficacy and deliver visible results. If you're using a standalone vitamin E product, apply it after water-based serums but before heavier creams or oils. If it's already included in your moisturiser, simply apply as your final step before SPF in the morning, or as the last step in your evening routine.

Which is better, hyaluronic acid or vitamin E?

There’s no need to choose – these two ingredients are better together. Hyaluronic acid draws hydration into the skin, while vitamin E locks in that moisture and protects against oxidative damage.

For optimal results, you can layer them: start with a hydrating serum like Hydr8 B5, followed by a vitamin E-rich formula such as Total Moisture Daily Facial Cream to nourish and shield the skin. Or opt for an all-in-one approach with multi-tasking formulas like C-Tetra Advanced or Crystal Retinal, which combine hyaluronic acid, vitamin E and other powerful actives for visible results with minimal effort.

Can I use vitamin E and retinol together?

Absolutely. Vitamin E and retinol are a high-performance duo. Vitamin E helps stabilise retinol and can reduce potential irritation, making the combination ideal for a balanced nighttime routine.

Medik8’s Vitamin A range, including Intelligent Retinol and Crystal Retinal, is expertly formulated with vitamin E to support smoother, more comfortable results. As always, introduce vitamin A gradually and follow with broad-spectrum SPF during the day.

Can vitamin E help with acne-prone skin?

When used in the right formula, vitamin E can be beneficial for breakout-prone skin. Its calming, reparative properties help reduce inflammation and support healing. However, it’s important to avoid heavy or pore-clogging oils.

Medik8’s Daily Radiance Vitamin C is a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturiser that combines antioxidant-rich vitamin C and E with broad-spectrum SPF 30 – offering daily protection and hydration without overwhelming the skin.
