Celebrity Endorsement
TV presenter and model Lisa Snowdon recently featured the cream in a 'skincare self care Sunday' Instagram reel. Sharing her nearly empty pot, she said: "I'm literally scraping the bottom of the barrel! This is lovely, this is velvety. Easily absorbed - and it gives you that SPF30 coverage."
Product Details and Clinical Trial
The Daily Radiance Vitamin C SPF30 Moisturiser is Medik8's bestselling day cream, containing 7% vitamin C and SPF 30. It aims to protect against premature ageing from UV exposure while providing moisture and a luminous finish. Medik8 advises applying it after a morning cleanse to the face, neck and décolletage.
A four-week clinical trial with 50 participants found that 94% said the moisturiser was immediately hydrating, while 88% called it the finest vitamin C cream they had used. The trial also reported that it took around seven days to smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and visibly brighten skin.
Customer Reviews
The product holds a 4.9-star rating online from more than 2,700 customer reviews. Paloma, aged 79, said: "I'm about to turn 79 and you might think it's silly for someone my age to try and look good, but with this product, I've managed to make people who know me say, 'Paloma, what are you doing to look so radiant!'"
Olha commented: "Daily Radiance Vitamin C is a wonderful daily moisturiser! It hydrates deeply while giving my skin a natural, radiant glow. The texture is light, absorbs quickly, and works perfectly under makeup. My skin looks brighter and healthier every day!"
Jennifer wrote: "Nourishes, protects, brightens. Comfort, care, results in one jar. This is my go to day cream." However, Gemma noted: "My least favourite Medik8 purchase so far. Useful to have the sun protection included but (sadly) this moisturisers leaves me shiny. Wouldn't buy again." Sarah added: "I am so happy with this product I have noticed and so have other people the difference in my skin especially around my eyes, skin feels amazing the texture of the cream is thick and luxurious and absorbs so well leaving a healthy glow. Gives SPF protection and I have recommended it to friends. I use it with a range of other Medik8 products but would also work well alone."
