7 Best Vitamin C Serums of ALL Time!
One skincare product that I use daily, no exceptions is Vitamin C serum. I have been using vitamin C serums now consistently for years and have seen my skin transform! There are of course other products that have helped my skin tremendously as well (chemical exfoliants, SPF etc.) but today we are focusing on vitamin C serums. Here’s why I LOVE using this effective serum everyday why I encourage you to do the same.
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that works to diminish fine lines & wrinkles. It also helps with hyper pigmentation and uneven skin tone, which is one of my main skincare concerns. It also helps brighten dull skin and anti-aging, making it a skincare must have for me. I personally like to use Vitamin C serums as part of my day-time skincare routine followed by my moisturizer, eye cream and SPF. As I mentioned above, I have used different vitamin C serums consistently for a while and it has really helped even out and brighten up my skin.
There are lots of Vitamin C serums available but here are my top 7 that are my top picks as they are the most effective. I have used multiple bottles of some of these (as listed) and sharing my thoughts for each below.
Skin type: Dry, Normal & Sensitive.
Price: $166
Thoughts: This is one of the most effective vitamin c serums I have ever used. It has worked so well to even out my skin tone and fade dark spots on my face. I do recommend storing this in dark, cool place and close the lid tightly to ensure the serum doesn’t oxidize (that has happened to one of my serums) But other than that, it is extremely effective and rated one of the best out there for good reason as you will see great results with this.
Skin type: All skin types
Price: $80
Thoughts: This is such a unique serum and will give you glowing skin immediately as well work to even out your skin overtime. This serum is a mix of vitamin c + glycolic acid to remove dead skin cells, dullness, hyper pigmentation and even out the skin. As I mentioned, with this serum you see an immediate, subtle glow to your skin and it layers perfectly under makeup.
Skin type: All skin type
Price: $62
Thoughts: If you have very dry skin like me and looking for a serum to brighten and hydrate, you will love this! 15% vitamin C + hyaluronic serum that will even out and add a ton of hydration to the skin. I love that this serum does not feel heavy and gives my skin a beautiful radiant glow right away. Farmacy is also a clean beauty brand and I am really enjoying a lot of their products at the moment.
Skin type: All skin types
Price: $76.50
Thoughts: Another great & effective vitamin C serum from Clinique that is so gentle on the skin. I love the packaging of it because it is air tight to ensure the serum stays fresh. This serum can be used on its own or you can mix it with your moisturizer to add a boost of hydration as well as to brighten and even out your skin. I really recommend this if you are a new user to Vitamin c serums.
Skin type: All skin types
Price: $127
Thoughts: Although this serum is meant for all skin types, I really think if you have dry skin, you will fall in love with this! It adds so much hydration to the skin and worked beautifully for me to even out my skin over time. 20% vitamin C, so very effective to even out the skin over time and with this product, a little bit goes a long way!
Dermae
Skin types: All skin types
Price: $24.50
Thoughts: I have used multiple of this serum from Dermae and love how gentle but effective it is. It is also very plumping on the skin but gets absorbed very quickly, making it a great serum to layer with other products. Another great vitamin c serum if you are new to this category as this is so gentle on the skin and will work for many different skin types.
Skin types: All skin types
Price: $9.97
Thoughts: I have recently discovered Cleen beauty and really enjoying their products. This serum is another gentle Vitamin C that also exfoliates your skin (papaya) to reveal a brighter complexion. This also feels plumping on the skin and will work on many different skin types. Great option for under $10!!
