You often ask me to give you some recommendations on effective beauty products: hair masks, conditioners, mascaras… Unfortunately, there is no ultimate and super-universal product that works for absolutely everyone in the world. After all, each one of us is different 🙂 But luckily there are some cosmetics that are versatile enough to satisfy the needs of huge groups of people, thus they are loved by millions of users around the globe.
Today I’ll try to give you names of four vitamin C face serums that – in my opinion – deliver best results. I’m pretty sure that choosing them won’t be disappointing. Their formulas are really something, they gather many positive reviews both from regular users and experts, and I’ve tested all four on my own skin. Before listing the products, we need to focus on one crucial aspect of skin care, which is…
Why is it worth introducing a vitamin C face serum to your daily skin regimen?
I used to think, and it was a really long time ago, that a face serum is an unnecessary expense. I treated it as something that not only wouldn’t do much in terms of skin improvement but also as something that would only make me spend money on the thing that I didn’t need. With time I discovered that I was so wrong. Today I’m grateful to myself that I changed my mind and gave a try to a brightening face serum – my skin has changed beyond recognition!
It’s worth incorporating a face serum to a daily skin regimen because this is the most powerful cosmetic that you can use for home skin treatments. As one of the few, face serum is able to absorb into the skin quickly to penetrate through all skin layers.
I chose vitamin C in particular because this nutrient is proven to have a wide range of skin benefits. What can it do? Vitamin C closed in a face serum:
- leaves skin visibly brighter
- erases pigmentation spots
- delays the appearance of wrinkles
- stimulates collagen synthesis in skin
- fills in existing wrinkles
And that’s only some of the effects you can expect a vitamin C serum to bring out.
What vitamin C face serums are the best?
Let me present to you a short list of my most favorite brightening face serums. They are formulated with various forms of vitamin C: 3-0-ethyl ascorbic acid, ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate and ascorbic acid.
1. Nanoil Vit. C Face Serum
What strikes me the most about this product is its size – 50 ml! Other products that I’ve used so far were sold in 30-ml bottles, so they didn’t last long. It’s different with Nanoil, luckily. I use it twice a day without bothering that I’ll run out of it anytime soon, which is great. Formulated with 3-0-ethyl ascorbic acid (note: this is vitamin C), Nanoil Vit. C Face Serum is gentle on the skin, being at the same time suitable even for the most sensitive complexions.
The appearance of my skin changed dramatically after just a couple of applications <3 Now my complexion is clear and doesn’t look fatigued as it used to. I consider it radiant. Blemishes are eliminated. And the best bit is that Nanoil Vit. C Face Serum delays ageing. My skin is firm and I hope it will stay this way for long. I should also add that this is a weightless cosmetic that absorbs into the skin quickly and fully, without leaving any greasy feel. What else could you possibly want? Perhaps an attractive price? And you have it! To me, Nanoil Vit. C Face Serum is the best brightening face serum.

2. It’s Skin Formula Power 10 VC Effector
I’ve known this Korean brand for a long time. I really like its products; at least the ones I had the chance to use. The lemon-colored It’s Skin Formula Power 10 VC Effector is available in two sizes: 30 and 60 ml. I picked the bigger one, which also happens to be more beneficial in terms of the money that you have to spend per millilitre.
The key ingredient here is one of the vitamin C derivatives – ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate. This is a potent substance that delivers all benefits of vitamin C, at the same time minimizing the risk of irritation. This means that you can use It’s Skin Formula Power 10 VC Effector even on sensitive complexions. Additionally, it has antibacterial, thus anti-acne properties, which means that this serum is also suitable for problematic skin. It brightened the discolorations I had on my face and evened out my complexion. I’d also like to add that this product has a lightweight texture, meaning that you can apply it both morning and evening.
3. Paula’s Choice Resist C15 Super Booster
Time for something more luxurious and definitely more expensive – Paula’s Choice serum. Resist C15 Super Booster bottle hides as much as 15% of vitamin C, which is pretty impressive, isn’t it? Even though this is an unstable form of vitamin C – ascorbic acid – it’s able to bring out some of the most common benefits.
The formula is made up of a few brilliant ingredients such as the vitamin of youth – vitamin E, and two potent acids: ferulic and hyaluronic. And this is exactly why Paula’s Choice Resist C15 Super Booster works so great! It not only removes discoloration from the skin but it also prevents oxidative stress and protects against other external aggressors. This serum promotes smooth and moisturized skin with no traces of imperfection. I said so many positive things about this serum but placed it as the third product?! How’s that? Well, the bottle is only 20 ml and this serum costs a small fortune!
4. Sesderma C-Vit Brightening Liposomal Skin Serum
First, little heads-up: This serum is formulated with quite a number of ingredients, which increases the risk of irritation. If you decide to get Sesderma C-Vit Brightening Liposomal Skin Serum, you have a quality serum formulated with 3-0 ethyl ascorbic acid and ginkgo biloba extract that strengthens the skin from within and reduces the appearance of spider veins. I also like that it has hyaluronic acid, which is our natural moisturizer.
Sesderma C-Vit Brightening Liposomal Skin Serum doesn’t need much time to brighten the skin in a really nice way. It also handles discoloration surprisingly well. Like other products that I’ve mentioned, this serum stimulates collagen synthesis, keeping your skin looking younger for longer. The fact that the formula needs more time to absorb into the skin, often leaving an oily feel is something that I don’t appreciate. The size is regular – 30 ml, and when it comes to the price then, well, it’s affordable but a little bit too high.
Final words & summary
I hope that now, when you’ve almost finished reading my today’s post, you understand the importance of introducing a vitamin C face serum to the daily skin ritual. To help you upgrade your beauty cosmetic arsenal faster, I’ve listed you the names of the products that in my opinion are worth using. And when you finally get the most suitable brightening serum, you just need to apply it on a regular basis to enjoy a clear, bright and glowing complexion.
