The Best Vitamin C Serums For Different Skin Types

By

As an ingredient, Vitamin C (also known as ascorbic acid) is one of the most accessible skincare actives. It’s an antioxidant that works to brighten the skin, even out skin tone, and help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. 

Vitamin C is a well-known and loved skincare ingredient, for good reason, but you can’t just go slathering it all over your face every morning and night. It’s an active—and an at that—so it’s best to use it topically on problem areas. In addition, sensitive skin doesn’t always react well to Vitamin C, so you’ll want to find a product that has a smaller concentration of the ingredient.

Here at OB真人视讯, we’ve found the best Vitamin C serums for different skin types and different budgets, so keep reading to find out which one is best for you.
