Vit C Oxidation

Spoiler
 

Hey friends! I've had a poor run with Vitamin C serums as most have been oxidizing on my skin or irritating it. So far I've tried the Clairin's Double serum (turned me orange), Geek & Gorgeous Vit C (turned me orange), Glow Recipe's Guava serum (no real results), Paula's Choice booster (burned every application), and am now on the Drunk Elephant C-Firma (turns me orange). I'm at my wits end!

 

I know Caudalie has a Vit C alternative serum that's highly rated but I'm wondering if maybe the Sunday Riley serum is worth a shot? I've loved everything I've ever tried by Sunday Riley thus far. 

 

Looking for some suggestions on shelf stable (I have a mini fridge for skincare), quality vit c please! Thank you!!!

C-Firma turns me bright orange too! Got progressively worse as it aged and had to toss it! 

I’ve been loving the Dermalogica BioLumin-C Vitamin C Serum . It’s supposed to be more stable than many competitors and I am almost finished a bottle with no oxidation/orange color and no irritation using every morning in conjunction with retinol at night. Good luck! @catsey

Also I have not tried but have heard good things about First Aid Beauty 10% Vitamin C Brightening Serum 1.7 oz / 50 mL @catsey
