What Is The Best Vitamin C Serum

When looking beyond the essentials of a skincare routine, Vitamin C Serums are one of the first products that come to mind.  With a range of benefits thanks to being rich in antioxidants, adding one of these is the easiest way to take your skincare to the next level.  Would you like to know what is the best Vitamin C Serum you can buy now?

Read on to find out more!

Why Use Vitamin C Serums?

We’re used to getting our vitamins through food, but Vitamin C and skin is one of the great combos.

Like oranges and chocolate, or strawberries and cream…ok back on track!

Due to Vitamin C’s ability to help with all sorts of skin concerns (even at concentrations as low as 0.6 per cent), they’re often the first ingredient that comes to mind when we think ofserums.

Benefits of Using Vitamin C Serums

With regular use, you’ll notice:

  • Brighter looking skin
  • More even skin tone
  • Improving dull skin as well as pigmentation
  • Minimised appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Improving the appearance of dark spots and acne blemishes
  • Plumper, firmer skin
  • Better hydrated skin

How to Use Vitamin C Serums

While Vitamin C serums are easy to use, here are a few tips to get the most out of them.

Firstly, only use them on freshly cleansed skin.

Secondly, use serums as the first step after a facial cleanse.

Thirdly, wait 20-30 minutes after applying your serum before adding additional skincare to ensure your skin is at optimal pH levels for absorption.  To save time, you can get your skin to the ideal pH level with apH adjusting toner applied before the serum!

What Vitamin C Serum is best depends on individual skincare goals and concerns.  Let's have a look at some of our favourites!

NEOGEN Real Vita C Serum

For serious skin brightening and improving the firmness of your skin, look no further than this antioxidant powerhouse containing 22% pure Vitamin C enriched with niacinamide.

What we love about NEOGEN’s Vitamin C serum is that it’s made from Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, one of the most stable forms of vitamin C.  This means that your serum will stay effective for longer, and will also be less sensitive to light and air exposure.

Containing a rich blend of pure L-ascorbic acid, sea buckthorn, niacinamide and more, this ph 5.5 serum improves skin elasticity, skin tone and is great for all skin types.
