Vitamin C can do a lot of good things for your skin, potentially leaving it brighter or looking more healthy in the process. The antioxidant may also help even out your skin tone, making it a good addition to most people's daily skin care routine, regardless of skin type.
I've been on the vitamin C train for almost three years, experimenting with a few different drug store brands (which usually means products under $30). I've settled on Derma-E's vitamin C concentrated serum, which has moisturized my skin and appears, at least, to make it a little softer and brighter. A 2-ounce bottle retails for $25, but right now it's on sale at Amazon for $11.85.
Besides sunscreen, this serum is the only thing I use on my face in the morning. The moisturizing element that it brings is likely from the sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid), one of the main ingredients. As a bonus and a big reason I've stayed with the company: Derma-E says its vitamin C is vegan, and that it doesn't test its products on animals. However, this product does have a fragrance (albeit a pleasant one), so if you're someone who is very sensitive to fragrances, I'd look through the ingredients list before you buy. I think I have a very "average" skin sensitivity, and I've never had an issue with the fragrance.
I can't vouch for other products by Derma-E, but the company is running a Cyber Monday deal on skin care for 30% off all products, plus a free six-piece gift, with the promo code FESTIVE30. It's still cheaper to buy at Amazon if you're just looking for a bottle of vitamin C serum, but Derma-E sells other hair and skin care products that are worth perusing, if you or someone you know prefers to shop plant-based or sustainable for skin care.
There are other vitamin C serums and products out there that top our list of the best vitamin C products, but they're typically more expensive (many are over $100). For now, I'm perfectly happy with this vitamin C serum that doesn't break my bank and seems to be helping my skin.
