C15 Super Booster
across 5 reviews
4.0/5
mixed
Reviewers praise
  • Contains 15% ascorbic acid with vitamin E and ferulic acid in a well-balanced, pH-appropriate formula under 3.5
  • Brightens skin and creates a luminous, plumper appearance without excessive greasiness
  • Absorbs quickly and layers well with other products, including gel moisturizers and sunscreen
Reviewers push back
  • Dropper bottle packaging exposes the serum to air and light, causing oxidation over time
  • Does not minimize breakouts or address acne concerns
  • Price point is high for a product in non-airless packaging
A well-formulated 15% vitamin C serum with vitamin E and ferulic acid that brightens and plumps skin, though the dropper bottle allows oxidation and it does not address acne.
— best for: People seeking brightening, anti-aging antioxidant protection for fine lines and hyperpigmentation who can commit to using the product quickly after opening.

I'm not a dermatologist, but I know how to review scientific research because of my own field and spent a lot of time learning what makes a Vitamin C product effective so I don't pour money into useless gimmicks. I eventually chose this product because it tic Maria · paulaschoice.com
