Skin Strike and The Dynamic Duo

The Dynamic Duo: Advanced Liquid Peptides & C-Tetra Advanced to the Rescue

Gotham had Batman & Robin. My skin has Medik8’s most powerful pair — repairing, protecting, and glow-guaranteeing.

Every superhero needs a sidekick. Batman has Robin. Sherlock has Watson. And my skin? It has Medik8 C-Tetra Advanced and Medik8 Liquid Peptides.

Two ordinary bottles in my bathroom cabinet? Hardly. Together they’re the Dynamic Duo — protecting, repairing, and generally saving me from myself.

And believe me, I needed saving.

It all started after one of those “I’m basically a skincare scientist” evenings where I layered too many acids, congratulated myself for being a genius, and went to bed smug. By morning, my skin was red, sulky, and radiating the kind of hostility usually reserved for angry cats. Gotham was officially in trouble.

Day One — The Apology Tour

I stripped it right back. Gentle cleanser. Barrier balm. Silent skincare prayers. My skin was not impressed. It looked like it had spent the night drafting its resignation letter and was about to hand it in.

Day Two — Robin to the Rescue

Enter Medik8 Liquid Peptides. Robin in serum form — reliable, underestimated, but always ready to patch up the chaos Batman doesn’t have time for.

This isn’t just hydration in a bottle. With 30% advanced peptides, it sends little messages straight to your skin cells saying: “Oi, get it together. More collagen, more elastin, more bounce.”

Add in hydration (like a giant iced latte on a heatwave afternoon), plus barrier-calming powers, and suddenly my skin stopped threatening to quit. By bedtime, it had softened from “I hate you” to “Fine, we’ll talk later.”

Day Three — Batman Arrives

With Robin smoothing things over, it was time for Batman. C-Tetra Advanced glided onto the scene like the caped crusader himself: sleek, powerful, and a little broody.

Other vitamin C serums have had me auditioning for a chilli-eating contest. Not this one. One silky drop, no irritation, no fuss. Just results.

Batman’s skill set? Shields against free radicals (pollution, UV, stress — and yes, even the patriarchy). Brightens dull skin. Boosts collagen so sagging doesn’t sneak its way into the storyline.

By lunchtime, my skin had gone from hostage negotiator to “maybe she drinks water and actually sleeps eight hours” glow. Spoiler: I don’t. But Batman covers for me.

Why They’re Unstoppable Together

Here’s the secret: Batman protects, Robin repairs.

• C-Tetra Advanced defends and brightens.

• Liquid Peptides rebuilds and hydrates.

Alone, they’re great. Together, they’re unstoppable — the skincare equivalent of Gotham finally running smoothly without explosions every five minutes.

The Glow Epilogue

After a week with the Dynamic Duo, my skin was calmer, firmer, and smoother, with just enough glow to convince strangers that I’m the kind of person who owns a water bottle and actually uses it.

Reality check: I don’t. But thanks to Batman and Robin, nobody needs to know.

So yes, some people have a “favourite serum.” I have a crime-fighting duo on my bathroom shelf. And if your complexion is currently plotting revenge, maybe it’s time you called them in too.

Because even superheroes deserve a break with something iced, frothy, and Instagrammable — say, a pistachio velvet latte with cold foam. Gotham can wait until after caffeine.
