5 Best Vitamin C Serums for Brighter Skin
Vitamin C is probably one of the most popular skincare ingredients out there. That’s because it helps reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and fine lines and wrinkles, helps boost collagen production, and works with your sunscreen to help protect your skin from UV damage. The key is to find the right vitamin C serum for you, so here are five vitamin C serums to consider adding to your routine.
SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic ($166)
This might be the most talked about vitamin C serum out there because dermatologists, influencers, and consumers love it. It’s formulated with l-ascorbic acid (aka pure vitamin C) and has the studies to back up its effectiveness.
NATURIUM Vitamin C Complex Serum ($20)
This affordable vitamin C serum from Susan Yara’s skincare brand NATURIUM is formulated with a vitamin C complex of highly stabilized l-ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbyl phosphate, and a bioactive fruit blend. It helps brighten your skin and protect it from environmental stressors!
Vichy LiftActiv Peptide-C Anti-Aging Ampoules ($30)
Another affordable option, this vitamin C serum comes in a pack of 10 ampoules. Since l-ascorbic acid is notoriously unstable, the idea with this product is that the ampoules help keep the serum fresh until you’re ready to use it.
KORA Organics Noni Bright Vitamin C Serum ($68)
This vitamin C serum contains a “vitamin C superfruit complex” that contains ascorbyl glucoside (a vitamin C derivative), kakadu plum, and acerola cherry. It also contains KORA’s star ingredient noni fruit which is rich in antioxidants!
SkinCeuticals Silymarin CF ($166)
The newest SkinCeuticals vitamin C serum on the market, this one is meant specifically for oily and acne prone skin. That’s thanks to the salicylic acid in the formula that helps prevent clogged pores.
