Vitamin C can be a super powerful and potent ingredient that has the ability to transform your skin. It has so many benefits, whether you take it orally or apply it to your face in the form of a serum. It is an antioxidant that helps shield you from free radicals (which make skin look dull) and has been heavily researched, unlike many trending skincare ingredients. The plethora of benefits includes getting glowing skin, helping with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, preventing sun damage, anti-ageing and boosting hydration — it's a superstar ingredient yes!
The beauty world recognises the benefits of this and has swamped the market with many vitamin C serums, but it's important to know that you can't just pick up any. Vitamin C serums have many forms and not all are stable, it also tends to oxidise if it doesn’t come in the right packaging and can do more harm than good if not used in the correct form. So if you're considering buying a vitamin C serum for yourself then keep reading, because I'll do a deep dive into all of this to make sure you know which is the best vitamin C serum for you.
