Best Vitamin C Serum?

[Jason84]

If you guys had to choose your favorite Vitamin C serum that actually brightens the complexion, what would it be? I like ones that’s tingle a bit and have that scent of a typical Vitamin C serum.

I just repurchased the Summer Friday Vitamin C serum. It’s the first one I’ve tried that has made a noticeable difference.

I have that one right now and haven’t noticed a difference. I always revert back to Arcona’s Vitamin C serum.

@Jason84 I've tried a few that had great results for brightening.  I've listed my favorite one first.

1. Summer Fridays CC Me Vitamin C + Niacinamide Serum 1.0 oz/ 30 mL - milky texture, great absorption, layers well with other products
2. Tatcha Violet-C Brightening Serum 20% Vitamin C + 10% AHA 1 oz/ 30 mL - a little too watery, great absorption 
3. Sunday Riley C.E.O Glow Vitamin C + Turmeric Face Oil 0.5 oz/ 15 mL - oil texture, does not absorb as well so difficult to layer with other products (unless you're applying this last)

I've started using the  CLINIQUE Fresh Pressed Daily Booster with Pure Vitamin C 10% 4 Count - 0.29 oz/ 8.5 mL after it was recommended to me. I like that the vit C powder and serum inside stay separate until you first start using it, so the product oxidation is minimal. I've had good brightening results, the price is reasonable, and I don't have to worry about it oxidizing before I can finish the container.

Hi @Jason84,

My favorite Vitamin C serum is the Sunday Riley C.E.O. 15% Vitamin C Brightening Serum 1 oz/ 30 mL . It has a citrus, orange scent that I really like and used over time consistency, makes my skin look brighter.

Ill go get sample of this one ☝️

I’ll have to try this one out. I have loved all of the other Sunday Riley products but haven’t tried this one yet. Thanks for the recommendation.

Just chiming in to vote for this as well. I noticed the most difference in brightening with this serum. And it does smell amazing, like the “soaring over California” ride at DisneyLand when you pass through the citrus grove 😁

I really like the Drunk Elephant C-Firma serum. It does tingle a bit, though not too much, and has a lot of good ingredients beyond vitamin C. Also, I used to like the CosRX Triple C serum, which is a lot less expensive than the Drunk Elephant, but more watery and in less convenient packaging.
