Best Vitamin C Serum Review for Face – 2018 Review and Top Picks

Vitamin C serums are arguably one of the best solutions for treating various skin care problems.

If you are in your mid-twenties to early thirties and you have not begun using vitamin C serums, you might want to reconsider.

Because youthful glowing skin is one of the most attractive traits in women (and men) but the hustle and bustle of our daily lives makes it extremely difficult to keep our skin from aging.

As we get older, collagen levels in our bodies declines steadily causing our skin to lose elasticity and strength. Vitamin C in serum form helps to build collagen and neutralizes free radicals that cause aging and wrinkling of the skin.

Vitamin C is an effective anti-aging ingredient and is often a top ingredient in some of the best skin care products out there.

That’s why Vitamin C in serum form are light, absorbent moisturizers for applying active ingredients directly to the skin. They have small molecules that are easily absorbed by the skin and works effectively at brightening and repairing skin.

Vitamin C serums contain both vitamin C and vitamin E and a combination of other powerful antioxidants such as hyaluronic acid and ferulic acid.

Before we go into the review of FIVE best Vitamin C serums for face, there is a need to explain the overall process of how we went about our selection.

First we headed read a number of top cosmetic and skin care blogs to find out what vitamin c serum products they were endorsing. The search took a lot of time to finish, but at the end it was worth it.

After analyzing what we could prune out from the research, we ended up with 10 highly demanded brands on the market. The list was quite a long one.

Next, to properly detect which one was the best – we went to Amazon to study buyers’ reviews – and we paid considerable time on the bad reviews and just how much was fabricated reviews. This alone helped us removed 5 more Vitamin C serums, and we were left with just 5.

These last 5 vitamin C serums qualified for numerous reasons. To highlight but a few:

Skinceuticals CE Ferulic bulky price quickly caught my attention. This serum is probably one of the costliest vitamin C serums around town. And yet new and old customers are still trooping in to buy it.

That was one of the reason we picked it. I sincerely believe that products can’t be that costly than other products in the same niche and still be rushed except it’s working for the buyers. Of course we didn’t just put it here only because of the price.

We were also impressed by its L-Ascorbic acid properties that we’ll go into deeper details later.

Comestic Skin Solutions Vitamin C+E Serum 15% is another serum we added here for the sake of it nearly marching Skinceuticals’ serum in different L-Ascorbic acid properties.

We noticed it potency, ingredients and efficacy was nearly similar with Skinceutical’s version of the serum. And the major reason people love this Skin Solution’s serum is because it’s priced low coupled with its decent potency power.

Though, we slightly noticed some bad reviews of people complaining about the serum’s smell. Some complained of dryness. All these will be resolved in deeper details later.

Oz Naturals Serum stood out immediately due to it being the only serum with the highest pH among the other 5 brands. Having a pH 7 wasn’t the only thing we noticed about Oz Natural.

Very few people complained that they experienced dryness after applying the Oz Natural serum. But there’s an hack for to solve that issue.

Foxbrim Vitamin C Serum for Face is probably the most affordable. It’s the lowest in price among the 5 brands we’re reviewing on this post. Findings about it ingredient detects it ability to boost buyer’s collagen production which will help keep skin clear and young.

Aside from these points, Foxbrim Serum was also highly praised for its professional packaging. Moreso, a lot of users found Foxvrim very easy to apply.

Now that you’ve seen excerpts of these five skin care products, let’s now dive into more detailed reviews about each of them.

2. Oz Naturals vitamin C serum:

Oz naturals vitamin C serum is unique in that it utilizes the skin care ingredients hyaluronic acid, vitamin c and amino acids, in addition to other plant oils and extracts including jojoba oil, witch hazel and green tea.

Oz Naturals contain vitamin C in its stable form of sodium ascorbyl phosphate and hyaluronic acid that keeps your skin hydrated and improves firmness as well as eradication (and prevention) of wrinkles and sagging.

In addition to boosting collagen levels, Oz Naturals brightens and clarifies dull, dark skin.

Oz naturals might be a little harsh on sensitive skin and eczema-prone skin because of its acidic pH at 3.0 and 20% vitamins c content.

To counteract the drying effect of this serum, layer the skin with a good moisturizer after using OZ Naturals.

3. Cosmetic skin solutions vitamin CE serum:

Cosmetic skin solutions vitamin C serum is a powerful combination of antioxidants that combines the active ingredients of vitamins C (L-ascorbic acid) at 15%, 1% vitamin E(alpha-tocopherol) and 0.5% ferulic acid.

These ingredients increase collagen synthesis and cell growth by protein fibers of the skin, protect the skin from free radicals and harmful UV rays.

In terms of consistency, this serum is light and smooth. It is easily absorbed by the skin and works within weeks.

The only negative is that it is more expensive than the other serums but results are guaranteed.

5. Foxbrim Vitamin C Serum:

This is suitable for all skin types and has a slightly thick consistency. It contains 20% vitamin c and hyaluronic acid making it a potent serum against aging, leaving your skin feeling clear, hydrated and smooth.

It contains methylsulphonylmethane (MSM), a crucial component of collagen production giving your skin a plumper feel, smoothening fine lines and wrinkles.

It offers a cheaper alternative to Skinceuticals for oily and normal skin types and is just as effective.

Although vitamin CE serums offer protection against harmful UV rays, serums containing vitamin c in its L-ascorbic acid inhibit the synthesis of melanin, the pigment that gives hair and skin color.

This fact alone makes it very important to use sunscreens and sun blocks with strong sun protection factor (spf) to further protect your skin.

In summary, concentrated formulas containing 10% or more can deliver the adequate amount of ascorbic acid to be effective.

For dry, sensitive skin, use the serum containing vitamin C in its derivative form like sodium ascorbyl phosphate while L-ascorbic types like the skinceutical range are perfect for oily to normal skin types.
