When I turned 40, I went to my dermatologist for a skincare overhaul. I left with an earful of sun damage warnings and a bottle of SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic. She explained how this Vitamin C super serum was the first line of defense against aging elements in the environment. I had never heard of SkinCeuticals, Vitamin C for your face, or L-ascorbic acid (the scientific name for Vitamin C). But, I was more than willing to do whatever it took to keep the wrinkles at bay. Now, I apply my Vitamin C serum each morning before my moisturizer and sunscreen, religiously. A bonus result is brighter more glowing skin- YES! I picked 10 options below, all of which are well-reviewed and highly recommended. All of the serums also contain a concentration of at least 15% pure vitamin C, which is an ideal amount. I also included my favorite SPF with Vitamin C, Daily Dose from Supergoop. I currently alternate between my SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic and Timeless options. My sister swears by the Goopglow and my friend Sarah likes The Ordinary’s version.
Learn more about this skincare powerhouse in an article from verywellhealth.com Vitamin C Benefits for Skin: “Vitamin C is legendary in the skincare world. In fact, some say it is the holy grail for all things skin-related, and for good reason. This incredible antioxidant, anti-inflammatory nutrient is known to improve skin tone and texture, hydrate the skin, and reduce signs of aging. Adding vitamin C to your skincare routine can not only brighten your complexion but also protect against skin damage caused by sun exposure and harmful free radicals.”
Note: If you use any Retinol products at night, be sure to use your Vitamin C in the mornings only.
