I've written what feels like endless reviews on vitamin c serum and the loves that it does (if that even makes sense). To recap.. vitamin c is a great antioxidant, helping to protect the skin against environmental damage and free radicals. It's also a wonderful nutrient for the skin (duh). But, in addition, vitamin c helps to even out skin tone and leave the skin with a lovely glow.
Nowadays, since vitamin c is super hot on the skincare market, most vitamin c serums seem to be combined with other yummy ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid and vitamin e.. which is the case with the vitamin c serums that I'm reviewing today: One, by Clarigenics. The second, by Naturalico (love that name!) Last but not least is a vitamin c serum with argan oil (oo la la) by Jeffer. Since there are many similarities in all of these serums, I'm going to talk about them collectively, then I'll point out things that stand out in any of them.
Okay, so each of these comes in a dark colored, glass dropped bottle. Which is great, because it helps prevent oxygenation and overuse of the product. All three of these serums are pretty thin, so you don't need much to cover your entire face. I use 5 drops or so.
In addition, all three of these serums contain 20% of vitamin c- the pretty standard amount for an everyday vitamin c serum. They also all contain hyaluronic acid, which will add some extra hydration and plumpage.
Jeffen's vitamin c serum- cleverly called "I Am Radiant," actually contains argan oil, adding even more hydration and anti-aging properties. Out of all of the vitamin c serums I have used, I have never seen one with argan oil. I love this and reserve this product for my nightly vitamin c serum. The label of this one is super cool and chic, too. Also, I like to shake this product up a bit before using it, so all of the ingredients mix together. You can purchase Jeffen's vitamin c serum for $19.95 for a 1 oz bottle.
Naturalico's vitamin c serum also contains some gorgeous ingredients, such as green tea, rosehip oil, sea buckthorn oil, and plant stem cells, making this serum also pretty potent and extra hydrating, due to the rosehip oil. Also I am seeing more and more sea buckthorn oil in skincare products and am super intrigued by it. Not only is the name super fun, but I think I read somewhere that its super amazing for your skin. I'll have to research this. You can purchase a bottle of Naturalico's delicious serum for $18.88.
Clarigenic's vitamin c serum also contains some fun ingredients, such as ferulic acid, jojoba oil, aloe vera, and witch hazel, making this serum a better option for those that don't need quite as much hydration. A 1 oz bottle of Clarigenic's vitamin c serum is only $21.97 on amazon.
All in all, this is a trio of three wonderful vitamin c serums... and they're all super affordable, in my own opinion. Since you only need 5 drops to cover your entire face, these babies will last foreverrrrr. Plus, the potent ingredients are sure to have a positive effect on your skin. Vavoom, baby.
