The overwhelming number of skincare products these days can be quite stressful to browse through, especially when all we want is to have ~glass skin~. Aside from the derma-approved retinoids and sunscreen, another powerhouse ingredient that should be a must-have in your skincare arsenal is vitamin C.
One of the most powerful antioxidants to treat the skin, vitamin C does a great job of giving your face that glow you’ve always wanted. It fades those pesky dark spots caused by acne, smooths out bumps and rough patches, and boosts collagen production, too.
We know it sounds like we’re bluffing, but trust us when we say that a good vitamin C serum is within your reach—and it works, we promise! Although not all serums are created equal, we like those with added ingredients such as hyaluronic acid or peptides for that added boost of protection.
Here's a list of the best Vitamin C serums that will help fade acne marks, brighten dull skin, and more that you can easily buy in the Philippines:
-
The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres
The Ordinary’s Vitamin C Suspension is quite unique as it doesn’t contain water, so it's best applied by patting it on the skin and waiting for the serum to be absorbed. You can also mix it with your moisturizer. The result? Smooth and brighter skin!
