Vitamin C serum has emerged as one of the best choices for skincare. It is one of the essentials and a basic product that should be used for promoting brighter complexion. Vitamin C serum also helps treat acne scars and other spots on the face and leaves you with clear and glowing skin. Today, the market is abuzz with several brands that offer Vitamin C serum, but based on my experience, I am sharing two brands that have been effective and reliable.
Garnier Bright Complete Vitamin C Booster Serum
This was the first vitamin C serum I ever used, and I can’t thank my sister enough for recommending this to me! It is hands down one of the best serums for your skin. There are fancy brands in the market for various serums, but nothing like the good old brand Garnier. I have earlier used gel-like creams from Garnier and their Vitamin C sheet mask, and they were so good. I am equally amazed by the serum. It has a translucent gel-like consistency which is not sticky at all. It is very light on the skin and smells amazing. Unlike creams and serums, it is not oily at all and won’t clog your pores or cause acne.
The serum can be applied at any time of the day, depending on your skincare routine. It is not harsh on the skin and doesn’t dry or leave it flaky. When applied at night, you will wake up with a bright complexion and softer skin. I did not experience any irritation, inflammation, or redness. It is very much a part of my daily skincare routine for all seasons.
Derma Co. Vitamin C Face Serum
Derma Co. is a famous and popular brand that offers different face serums. I have tried its salicylic acid serum and found it really good for pores. The products from Derma Co. are gentle on the skin and effective. Hence, I ordered their Vitamin C Serum as well. The serum is fairly good, but as someone who had tried the Garnier Vitamin C serum already, I found it to be less effective comparatively. Having said that, it is a good serum and doesn’t cause irritation, redness, or acne. It is just like other serums with an oil-like consistency. A few drops are sufficient to cover the entire face. If you are someone with sensitive skin and want to add Vitamin C to your skincare routine, you can start with Derma Co. and switch to another brand, if required.
Verdict
For me, Garnier Vitamin C serum is a clear winner but I would recommend others to explore, try, and decide for themselves. No two women have the same skin type, and hence the best approach is to try and decide. Maybe others would find Derma Co. effective or at least non-irritating or strong for their skin.
Note- Avoid using Vitamin C serums with Salicylic acid together, as both will be harsh on the skin. Try using Vitamin C serum with hydrating creams, lotions, or serums for better results. It is better to apply them at different times. Using Vitamin C Serum can be great for your skin, and in the long run, you will definitely witness clear and bright skin. You simply need to be consistent with any skincare routine.
P.S. – If you are experiencing any skin-related issues and undergoing treatment for the same, it is better to consult your dermatologist before using any new product on the skin.
