Vitamin C Brightening Serum

product review positives
๐ŸŠ Star ingredients ๐ŸŠ 15% Vita Energy Complex (composed of 15 vitamin blends & vitamin C) Glycerin Niacinamide 3-0-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid 1.5% (blend of pure vitamin C and a synthetic form. Blended to be more stable in light and air to enhance its efficacy without degrading and without the irritation of pure vitamin C) Vitamin E (bubble capsules) Panthenol (B5) Bifida Ferment Lysate Matrixyl 3000 (to name a few ๐Ÿคฏ) - Price: $18.90 retail - Texture: Serum (see my reel for texture) - Size: 30ml - Rating: 5/5 I used this serum day and night for over a week and I really really enjoy it! If you want true brightening benefits from vitamin C this isnโ€™t the serum for you in that it doesnโ€™t contain enough vitamin C to truly make a big difference in skin tone or for lightening hyperpigmentation. HOWEVER, if you want a antioxidant rich serum with countless benefits to your skin this is one of the best well rounded serum. This can help with skin plumping, brightening, supporting your skin barrier, anti-aging, hydration, & more. The ingredients list is stellar & one of the best ingredients lists that Iโ€™ve seen, covering a wide variety of skin conditions. ๐ŸŠ Final Conclusion ๐ŸŠ If youโ€™re looking for a super antioxidant serum, this is the one for you! If youโ€™re looking for true vitamin C benefits, maybe a stronger formulation could help quicker and more effectively. Overall, I love this serum because I had absolutely no irritation and my skin felt sooo healthy and hydrated. The encapsulated vitamin E really feels nourishing to my skin and never felt too heavy for daytime use. I definitely will continue to use this day and night & hope to see some long term benefits. Want more details? Feel free to ask! Want to see more pictures and see the texture of this serum? Follow me over on IG: @skincareinhawaii [5/13/21] A nourishing & non-irritating vitamin C serum? If you have sensitive skin this is the vitamin C serum for you. ๐ŸŠ Skin&Lab Vitamin C Brightening Serum [Recap Review] Maybe some of you remember, but I already reviewed this serum before so please check out that review as well in you want more details. ~ Notable Ingredients: Glycerin {4}, Niacinamide {6}, 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C Derivative) {8 - 1.5%}, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) {9}, Panthenol {10}, Bifida Ferment Lysate [11], Algae Extract [12], HA [13]โ€ฆ there are too many great ingredients to name. ๐Ÿ˜… ~ INCI List: As I mentioned in my previous review of this, this is a very gentle vitamin C serum as it has a pretty low amount of vitamin C in the overall formulation. But, that doesnโ€™t mean it isnโ€™t effective. I do believe that this is more suitable for sensitive skin types or those just starting on the vitamin C game. This of course is known for the 15% Vita Energy Complex which is packed with many great ingredients from anti-oxidants to active vitamins which could really help the skin. ~ Nourishing?: I would definitely consider that this is a very nourishing serum and one that I love using morning & night during any skin condition because of how gentle & protective it is. I look at this serum as being a nourishing serum because of the texture and ingredients. I definitely helps to promote good skin health and protect our skin barriers. *This may be a little too thick for daytime use for those with oily skin. ~ Price: $24.70 ~ Texture: Goopy Nourishing Serum ~ Rating: 5/5 ๐ŸŠ Final Conclusion: This is a great serum that I really like overall, but would consider it more as an anti-oxidant serum that really promotes great skin health than a vitamin C serum. I definitely feel like I have the ability to use this along side another stronger vitamin C serum to get great synergistic effects and see more of that brightening power come to light. ~ Recommended for: All Skin Types *Oily skin types (Nighttime use only) *pr, but my review is completely honest. ๐Ÿ™ƒ
product review negatives
I think this is a slightly misleading product just because of the title. It actually has a pretty low percentage of vitamin C in this. But, I do feel this could make it better for sensitive skin types.
