Anti-Aging Vitamin C Serum
The Break Down:
π¨π¦ Canadian based
π¨π¦ Certified organic
π¨π¦ Used sodium ascorbyl phosphate which is a more stable form of vitamin C (acorbic acid is stronger but very unstable to formulate with)
π¨π¦ Brightens skin, reduces dark spots, contains antioxidants that protects from free radicals
π¨π¦ Hyaluronic acid which helps to hold water to the skin, jojoba oil and aloe with are moisturizing and soothing
π¨π¦ Witch Hazel water is the third ingredient which can fight acne, reduce oil and inflammation
My Thoughts:
π¨π¦ This is a light weight serum that doesn't feel heavy on the skin and dries without a greasy feel
π¨π¦ I did appreate a brightness to my skin, but didn't notice my dark spots lightening but this could be due to this vitamin C being more stable but less effective, over time I may see an improvement
π¨π¦ Some skin types don't do well with acorbic acid as it can be too strong and it's hard to stabilize which if not done correctly can make the vitamin C ineffective, this is why sodium ascorbyl phosphate was chosen instead. Just to be clear this doesn't make this a bad vitamin C because they choose a more stable form of vitamin C just means it can take longer to appreate a difference
π¨π¦ Vitamin C is know to go bad, where because this serum is more stable this isn't really a concern, therefore you aren't throwing your money away. This serum in a dark bottle for this reason
π¨π¦ If you've had irritation with vitamin C in the past or want to try your first vitamin C I think this is a great option
β Beaware this does contain fragrance which I find to be quite noticeable so if you had irritation from vitamin C in the past and you are also sensitive to fragrance I don't think this would be good
β It's the serums advertising that makes this a one star for me. It pretty misleading in my opinion that you'll see any anti aging benefits, I think this is a bit of a stretch, you might see some improvement but nothing like from a retinol
