A cream option for a routine centred on moisture and skin comfort. Peptide claims need formulation-specific context.
Our perspective
Why Serenova selected Medik8
We selected Medik8 for its place in a structured skincare routine. Hydration and moisturising steps can be valuable in their own right, not just as companions to stronger actives. We separate what a formula is designed to do from what clinical evidence can actually establish.

Suitability & everyday use
Choose with your skin in mind
For skin that feels dehydrated
A hydrating serum can sit between cleansing and moisturising. Dryness and dehydration can overlap, so the texture and comfort of your moisturiser still matter.
Alongside an existing routine
Introduce one new product at a time. If skin is stinging or persistently inflamed, simplify your routine and seek advice rather than adding more actives.
Morning and evening
Follow the individual product directions. In the morning, finish with a separate sunscreen; a moisturiser without an SPF label is not sun protection.
Serenova Evidence
What the evidence does, and does not, say
Ingredient and category context
Humectants help retain water in the outer skin layers, and moisturisers can support barrier comfort. These are established category functions, not proof that every formulation performs equally.
Where caution matters
Peptide and anti-ageing claims depend on the specific ingredient, formulation and study. We do not infer brand-wide trial results or claim that a cream replaces lost collagen. Read the individual Serenova Evidence note for the scope of each assessment.
Our product assessments use Well established, Good evidence or Early or emerging. They are not brand-wide ratings, regulatory approvals or guarantees of results.

Medik8 questions, answered
Which Medik8 products are available?
The product grid reflects our active, in-stock catalogue when this page loads. It is the source of current availability; products outside that edit are not offered here.
Does this page offer Crystal Retinal or C-Tetra?
Only products shown in the available edit can be selected here. A brand being listed does not mean every product or strength in its wider range is available.
Can I layer a hydrating serum and moisturiser?
Usually, yes. Follow the product directions and introduce changes gradually. If a combination irritates your skin, stop and reassess.
Does a peptide cream replace sunscreen?
No. Use a separate labelled sunscreen in the morning, alongside shade and protective clothing when needed.
