FAQS
Is Medik8 Oxy-R Peptides good for dark spots on darker skin tones? +

Yes, and that is unusual. Medik8 ran its clinical and consumer studies on all skin tones, with a third of the panels at Fitzpatrick types 5 and 6, and found it effective across them, which matters because visible dark spots are a more common concern on deeper skin. Skin looked brighter in 7 days and dark spots were visibly reduced in one month.

What is oxyresveratrol and why does 1% matter? +

Oxyresveratrol is a brightening molecule from the mulberry family that helps limit the activity of tyrosinase, the enzyme behind visible pigment. It is potent but unstable, so most brands use a fraction of a percent. Medik8 says 1% was previously unattainable and is available only in Oxy-R Peptides, made possible by its patented click-activated stabilisation.

Why does it come as two bottles, and how do I activate them? +

Oxyresveratrol loses strength once mixed, so Medik8 splits the formula across two 10ml click-activated bottles. Press the lid firmly until it clicks, shake for 30 seconds, then swap the lid for the dropper. Each bottle stays potent for six weeks after activation, so open the second only when the first is finished.

Can I use Medik8 Oxy-R Peptides with vitamin C and Crystal Retinal? +

Absolutely - Medik8 says it is ideal for boosting both, in line with its CSA Philosophy. In the morning apply Oxy-R Peptides after cleansing and before your vitamin C (such as C-Tetra Luxe); in the evening apply it before Crystal Retinal.

How long until I see results? +

In Medik8's four-week consumer study on 50 participants with dark spot concerns, skin looked visibly brighter and more even in 7 days, with visible dark spot reduction at one month. Daily sunscreen protects that progress.

Is Oxy-R Peptides suitable for sensitive skin? +

Yes. Medik8 tested it on all skin types including sensitive skin, and 92% of study participants agreed it was gentle. It is fragrance free and contains no vitamin A or strong exfoliating acid - patch test first as with any new active.

Does it work on marks left after blemishes? +

Yes - Medik8 lists post-imperfection marks alongside dark spots and discolouration as the concerns it targets. Apply it across the whole face rather than dotting it on individual marks, so tone evens out overall.

How long does a pack last, and how should I store it? +

Medik8 counts around 60 uses across the two bottles at 6 drops per application. Keep both at room temperature and away from windows once activated, and finish each bottle within six weeks of opening it.

Can I use Medik8 Oxy-R Peptides during pregnancy or while breastfeeding? +

It contains no vitamin A, which is the ingredient most people are asked to avoid. Medik8 does not publish formal pregnancy or breastfeeding guidance for this product: as a cosmetics company it says it cannot advise on medical conditions, and it asks customers to discuss the full ingredient list with their midwife or GP before use. Please check with your midwife or GP first.
