Today is the day when I’m going to answer the most probing questions that you’ve been sending to me recently: “What is the best vitamin C face serum?”, “What vitamin C serum should I use?”, or “Which brightening serum is good for a start?”. Actually, you sent me more questions but most of them seem to revolve around one topic, which is vitamin C / brightening face serums.
I’m a big fan of these products myself, always having a brightening serum on my dressing table. I’ve tested quite a number of vitamin C face products and therefore I consider myself competent enough to instruct you which one should you choose.
Criteria to have in mind while choosing a vitamin C face serum
The easiest way would be simply to follow my pieces of advice 🙂 If you want to get a really good cosmetic that will leave you with a flawless complexion, always check its formula. And by that I mean that you should pick only those products that don’t have too many ingredients. Just think: Why would you need dozens of plant extracts if you could get more vitamin C instead? And while mentioning this nutrient, check if its form is stable. Sadly, there are many forms of vitamin C that don’t do much in terms of skin appearance improvement. To get to the point, I’d like to suggest choosing face serums containing ethylated vitamin C, which you can recognize by the following name: 3-0-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid. Naturally, I’ve found such products for you 😉
THE BEST VITAMIN C FACE SERUMS: MY TOP PICKS
★ THE BEST FOR ALL SKIN TYPES ★
Nanoil Vit. C Face Serum
My favorite! Here are some facts about Nanoil Vit. C Face Serum: it’s formulated with stabilized vitamin C, delivers incredibly quick effects, is affordable, and comes in a big size. The amount of vitamin C is satisfying, and on top of that it works wonders because it’s combined with a plant-derived ingredient – punarnava. I know that it’s pretty hard to find Nanoil serum in regular drugstores, therefore I’m leaving here the website where you can order it from: nanoil.co.uk. Visit this website to read the reviews of other users. When it comes to the effects that I noticed on my face, I have to tell you that Nanoil Vit. C Face Serum left my skin smooth and very pleasant to the touch, moisturized, even-toned and perfectly-looking. Nanoil Vit. C Face Serum is totally insane! <3

★ HIGHLY SATISFYING FOR YOUNG COMPLEXIONS ★
Olehenriksen Truth Serum with Vitamin C
I loved this face serum when I was a university student. I remember that Olehenriksen Truth Serum with Vitamin C gave my skin everything that it needed at that time: hydration and a brightening effect. It helped me look good even when I didn’t have a chance to get a good nighttime rest. It freed my skin from blemishes, acne and shiny T-zone. I believe that orange, rosehip and grapefruit extracts are responsible for delivering these stunning results. Even though vitamin C used in this serum isn’t fully stabilized, it should do for young complexions. These plant extracts are combined with aloe and hyaluronic acid that deliver moisture and nutrients to the skin. And this amazing smell it has!
★ INTRIGUING & ATYPICAL ★
Clinique Fresh Pressed Booster with Pure Vitamin C 10%
Some may say that this product is “overdesigned”, others may say that it’s way too expensive, but I’ll say that this is a pretty good brightening cosmetic. It was created before the world came up with the ethylated vitamin C. Clinique used pure ascorbic acid and turned it into a powder cosmetic that is sold in small capsules of 10 ml. The vitamin-C-enriched powder needs to be combined with an emulsion that is provided in the capsule’s chamber. You mix both by pressing a small button on the capsule. Naturally, you need to buy more than just one piece to see the effects. However, if you: a) have a long purse b) like unconventional solutions in skincare c) want to erase pigmentation spots from your face – go ahead and get yourself Clinique Fresh Pressed Booster with Pure Vitamin C 10%. It’s a really cool brightening skin product.
★ THE BEST FOR MATURE SKIN ★
Clochee Antioxidant Oil Serum with Vitamin C
Clochee tried to stabilize vitamin C by mixing it with natural oils that additionally have an anti-aging effect on the skin. This makes Clochee Antioxidant Oil Serum with Vitamin C perfect for mature, dry and sensitive skin. I had the serum several times to use it mainly in the winter to help my parched skin regain some moisture. I added the serum to my evening routine because it appeared to be too heavy to apply it in the morning. When you ignore the fact that this serum messes up with foundation and other makeup products, you may get a really good product. Its formula looks okay, has an antioxidant effect and is able to delay wrinkles. Actually it’s made from plant extracts such as rosa rugosa and rejuvenating plum seed oil. Overall, this is a good anti-aging serum for dry skin.
