Vitamin C Serums - What is it for, and Which one is best for me?

It’s time to give your skin the love and attention it deserves with the wonderful power of vitamin C serums! These little bottles of magic have been taking over the beauty industry and it’s easy to see why. They are the ultimate multi-tasker, offering a wide range of benefits that will help your skin look and feel absolutely gorgeous!

Get ready to say hello to a brighter, healthier and more even-toned skin. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that protects against environmental damage, but that’s not all. It also promotes collagen production, resulting in a smoother, plumper, and more youthful-looking skin. But with so many options out there, how do you know which one is best for your skin type and concerns?

First, you need to know the different types of Vitamin C and how they work.


L-ascorbic acid is the purest and most potent form, making it the gold standard for brightening and rejuvenating the skin. Perfect if you want to address concerns such as hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and wrinkles. However, it can be unstable and irritating to some skin types, so it’s essential to start with a lower concentration and gradually increase the strength.

But if you have sensitive skin, or you’re new to vitamin C serums and want to play it safe, you may want to consider using ascorbyl palmitate instead. This is a more stable form of vitamin C and less irritating than L-ascorbic acid, making it a great option for those who are more prone to redness or irritation. While it may not be as potent as L-ascorbic acid, it still holds a wide range of benefits for the skin.
