We have just the solution.
Meet Oxy-R Peptides, a potent serum that targets visible dark spots and works effortlessly to promote a more even skin tone.
Formulated with ultra-high concentration (1%) oxyresveratrol in a patented stabilization system; this powerful brightening technology is exclusive to Medik8. Oxyresveratrol (Oxy-R) is an incredibly effective tyrosinase inhibitor - the key enzyme within the skin that produces melanin. Oxyresveratrol works to block the overactivity of tyrosinase, therefore, blocking the overproduction of melanin, which can result in areas of uneven skin tone and dark spots.
A study by The Journal of Biological Chemistry showed Oxy-R to be 33x times more effective tyrosinase-inhibitor than well known dark spot solution kojic acid.[1]
Uneven Skin Tone? We've Got You
Introducing our targeted solution to dark spots, Oxyresveratrol (Oxy-R) is a gold-standard dark spot ingredient, stabilized in a Medik8 patented system, at our highest ever dose of 1%.
Incredible Brightening Results
The silky formula is designed to address uneven skin tone, improve the appearance of visible age spots and visibly minimize anti-inflammatory spots from blemishes.
While it’s exceptionally powerful, Oxy-R is notoriously difficult to formulate as it is an incredibly unstable ingredient to work with. However, with yet another one-of-a-kind stability innovation, Medik8 has carefully curated a patented system to captivate the unique benefits of ultra-high strength stabilized oxyresveratrol.
Our skincare scientists discovered the perfect solution to bottling Oxy-R’s powers, ensuring that it remains effective from the first drop to the last. Housed in a patented preservation serum in the lid until it is plunged into the rest of the formula, it uses Click-Activated packaging technology on the first use. Keeping the Oxy-R fresh for 6 weeks, additional patented stabilizers are used, ensuring the formula remains potent until the bottle is finished.
Our Triple Threat To Dark Spots
Oxy-R Peptides offers a triple-threat to dark spots - combining twin brightening peptides alongside the hero ingredient; Oxyresveratrol.
Tetrapeptide-30
Works to help block the overproduction of pigment that can lead to visible discolorations and uneven skin tone.

Oxyresveratrol
A gold-standard brightening agent at a previously untouched concentration of 1%, it targets areas of dark spots, age spots, and improves skin tone.
So, we have our final formula: our star ingredient Oxy-R, two brightening twin-peptides and hyaluronic acid - all combined into a hydrating cocktail that’s ready to target an uneven complexion. Let’s put it to the test.
An independent study with Oxy-R Peptides was conducted on a diverse panel of target customers - all with dark spot skin concerns. This includes sensitive skins and all skin tones. Participants used Oxy-R Peptides twice a day for 4 weeks, and were asked not to introduce any other new products into their skincare routine during this trial period. Take a look at the remarkable powers of Oxy-R Peptides confirmed by the study…
Clinically proven to significantly improve the look of even tone in 8 weeks*
Skin appears visibly brighter after using Oxy-R Peptides for just 7 days*
The appearance of dark spots are faded after just one month*
92% found Oxy-R Peptides to be gentle on their skin
*Proven via independent consumer study conducted over 4 weeks on 52 participants with sensitive skin.
Post-imperfection marks are particularly common in deeper skin tones, fitzpatricks 4-6.[2] All fitzpatrick skin types have similar numbers of melanin-making melanocyte cells, however these cells are more active and produce more melanin in deeper fitzpatricks.
Therefore, we specifically tested the serum on a larger sample of fitzpatricks 3-6, due to the larger concern of dark spots within these skin tones. With gentle power, we found that Oxy-R Peptides has the ability to visibly brighten the appearance of deeper skin tones; improving the overall appearance of dark spots across the complexion.***
Oxy-R Peptides can be used in both morning and evening skincare routines, to target areas of dark spots and enhance the overall brightening benefits of vitamin C and A products. Oxy-R Peptides is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skins.**
