bareskin.care review for [Discontinued] Pure Vitamin C 15% with Ferulic Acid

This 15% pure Ascorbic Acid serum sits on a base of Seabuckthorn water at a whopping 45% concentration. It also has two Vit. C derivatives in the forms of Ethyl Ascorbyl Ether at 1% concentration and Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (way more at the bottom of the list). Finally, Ferulic acid and Vit. E are also in the formula to help with Vit. C stability. . I came from higher concentration Vitamin C serums ranging from 20%-30%, but I can immediately say that this is one of the more 'complete' formulas I've tried. It does come with a lower concentration but I honestly don't mind considering that you get extra beneficial ingredients anyways. Moreover, 15% is plenty enough for me, and honestly for most of us. So overall, I'm impressed with the formula: short, but packed with nothing but beneficial ingredients. . I use this in the morning immediately after cleansing or rinsing my face. It does not sting my skin, which I attribute to its slightly higher pH than other concetrated Vit. C serums. It feels lightweight and absorbs really fast too. One of the best things about this serum (at least for me) is its glowy finish! It looks flattering and healthy-looking imo. As I used it daily, I noticed that it helped heal active breakouts faster. It also helped with the overall tone and look of my skin--I'd say it made my skin look a lot healthier. It does have an odd scent to it that reminds me of toned down smell of nail polishes, I don't mind tho for so long as the formula is free of added fragrance and essential oils, which thankfully this is. It's probabaly just from the combination of all the ingredients. . Overall, this has easily become my favorite Vitamin C serum for all the reasons stated above. This is a perfect introductory product for people who wants to start incorporating Vitamin C in their routines. The only reason you would think twice with this product is when you're not ready to deal with how demanding storing pure Vit. C serum gets to not ruin the formula.
