    Shop vitamin C serums for brighter, more even skin

    Vitamin C serums are one of the most popular skincare treatments for a reason. As an antioxidant, vitamin C helps protect skin from environmental stressors like pollution and UV exposure, while also working to fade dark spots, even out skin tone, and support a brighter overall complexion. Results build up with consistent use rather than overnight, so it's worth picking a formula suited to your skin type and sticking with it.


    Choosing a vitamin C derivative for your skin

    Different forms of vitamin C suit different skin types. L-ascorbic acid, found in serums like SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic and Medik8 Super C Ferulic, is the most researched and potent form, but can be more likely to irritate sensitive skin. Gentler derivatives like ethyl ascorbic acid, used in the Alpha-H Vitamin C Serum with 10% Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, or ascorbyl glucoside, found in The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12%, tend to be more stable and better tolerated, though they work more gradually.


    Vitamin C serums by skin concern

    For oily or acne-prone skin, a lightweight, water-based option like COSRX The Vitamin C 13 Serum can brighten without feeling heavy. Drier or more mature skin often does better with a richer formula, such as Dermalogica BioLumin-C Serum, which pairs vitamin C with hydrating and firming ingredients. If you're newer to vitamin C or have reactive skin, starting with a lower concentration like the CeraVe Skin Renewing Vitamin C Serum is a reasonable way to build tolerance before moving to something stronger.


    Getting the most from your vitamin C serum

    Vitamin C is notoriously unstable, so look for it in airless pump packaging or a dark glass bottle, and store it away from direct sunlight and heat. If a serum has turned dark orange or brown, it's likely oxidised and won't work as well. Apply in the morning after cleansing and before moisturiser and SPF, since the antioxidant protection is most useful during the day, and pair it with a hydrating serum like hyaluronic acid afterwards if your skin needs the extra moisture.


    Frequently Asked Questions About Vitamin C Serums

    How long does vitamin C serum stay effective after opening?

    Most vitamin C serums stay effective for 6 to 12 months after opening, though this varies by formulation. Check the packaging for a small tub icon with a number showing how many months it remains good for once opened. Store it somewhere cool and dark, away from direct sunlight, and if it turns dark orange or brown, it's likely oxidised and past its best.

    Should I apply vitamin C serum in the morning or evening?

    Morning is generally best, since the antioxidant protection helps shield skin from pollution and other environmental stressors throughout the day. Apply after cleansing and before moisturiser and SPF. Some people also use it at night to target pigmentation, though once daily is usually enough.

    Can I use vitamin C serum with hyaluronic acid?

    Yes, vitamin C and hyaluronic acid layer well together. Apply the vitamin C serum first to clean, dry skin, wait a couple of minutes for it to absorb, then follow with hyaluronic acid to add moisture without interfering with how the vitamin C works.

    Best serum I've used in a long time

    | 7 days ago

    I've been using this for two weeks and I'm already so impressed with the results. I naturally have large pores & oily skin but also had a burn from a peel 18 months ago and have been left with pigmentation and a lot of redness. Already I've noticed a big difference in my skin looking brighter and even toned. Sinks in so quickly and sits lovely under my moisturiser.

    As a woman in my late 40s I have had great experiences with The Ordinary"s serum range, specifically the Vitamin C serum"s when the one I usually use was out of stock I purchased this, I was not a fan of the gritty texture at first but I realised I was using it incorrectly, this is a before bed product, yes it tingles only use small amount and thoroughly massage product into the skin until it is no longer gritty use daily, my skin is glowing.

    A Serum That Really Works

    | 8 days ago

    I have been using this serum for the last few years and it makes my skin glow. It also helps to minimise my post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It does not irritate my skin. I also love how it is less expensive than other similar and more expensive versions. I appreciate the pump pack as the serum doesn't oxidise as much compared to vitamin c serums in a bottle. I highly recommend this serum
