How this is made

Vitamin C Serum
across 3 reviews
3.5/5
divided
Reviewers praise
  • Contains vitamin C in a gentler sodium ascorbyl phosphate form that causes less stinging than pure ascorbic acid
  • Combines vitamin C with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, aloe vera, and jojoba oil for multiple skin benefits
  • Absorbs quickly into skin without heavy residue
Reviewers push back
  • Some users experience burning sensation, dryness, or breakouts when applying
  • Can oxidize quickly if the lid does not seal properly
  • Long-term clinical evidence beyond six months is lacking
Reviewers agree that the serum contains effective ingredients for brightening and anti-aging, though clinical evidence is limited and some users experience irritation or disappointing results.
— best for: People with hyperpigmentation, early signs of aging, or sensitive skin who want a gentler vitamin C formula and can commit to continuous long-term use.

On Vitamin C Serum: One reviewer emphasizes the lack of robust long-term human studies, while others focus on anecdotal user success

This serum changed the appearance of my skin within only the first 3 days of using it. I am glowing like never before!! It feels very luxurious upon application, the texture is silky and warming. It has already evened out my skin after such a short time of using it. My skin feels softer and healthier than it did before I used it. It is perfect for sensitive skin, it doesn’t break me out or feel ir Carly C · influenster.com

I am a natural redhead with freckles and rosacea like crazy! I’ve tried meds, expensive creams… a dermatologist recently recommended vitamin C… With perimenopause has also come hormonal acne… due to a history of melanoma, I am not a good candidate for HRT, so I need more natural solutions… literally! I added this to my routine and after a couple of weeks I noticed a marked difference in my redness kateerom · Target
