Vitamin C Serum

Vitamin C is an antioxidant used in leave-on skincare, most often in morning routines. This range includes serums, essences and ampoules, some combining vitamin C with hyaluronic acid or retinol.

What to compare

Concentration and the specific form of vitamin C both vary between listings, and derivatives are generally milder than pure ascorbic acid. Packaging matters more here than in most categories — opaque bottles and airless pumps limit light and air exposure.
