Best Vitamin C Serums for Bright and Even Complexion

It’s National Vitamin C Day so you know we had to share some skin benefits of vitamin C. If you’re interested in having healthy, glowing, radiant skin, you should likely be using a vitamin C serum. When it comes to even tone complexion, vitamin C is a powerhouse antioxidant for the job. Vitamin C helps protect skin from sun damage and discoloration, and also has a brightening effect (Hello GLOW). 2 of our favorite Vitamin C serums are Skinceuticals CE Ferulic and Phloretin CF (discussed below). 

Disclaimer:

Strong vitamin C serums may be irritating for those with sensitive skin or those who just had a chemical peel.

With Vitamin C (15%) coupled with vitamin E and ferulic acid, the efficacy of the product increases. So look out for this combination

Here are some benefits of vitamin C:

• Powerful antioxidant against UVA and UVB
• Provides protection against UV rays when paired with a broad spectrum sunscreen by neutralizing free radicals
• Prevents discoloration
• Brightens skin
• Reducing appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Prevents and treats effects of photoaging caused by UV light
• Promotes healthy collagen production
