9 Editor-Approved Vitamin C Serums That Are on Sale for Prime Day
If you didn’t already know, Amazon Prime Day is here until 11:59 PT on October 12. What does this mean exactly? Well, thousands of beauty products will have major discounts across the website. We’re talking deals on makeup, hair care, and of course, skin care.
Speaking of skin, one of our favorite ingredients, vitamin C, will be a star of the sale. In case you aren’t aware of what this magical ingredient will do for your skin, we confirmed its wonders with board-certified dermatologist Patricia Wexler, MD. “Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that can neutralize free radicals,” she says, adding that the ingredient will aid in your skin’s natural regeneration process, which helps your body repair damaged skin cells, leaving you with brighter skin and fewer dark spots.
Are you sold yet? Good, because 9 of our favorite Amazon vitamin C serums are marked down up to 33 percent during the epic two-day sale. So, keep scrolling and get ready for the brightest skin of your life.
RoC’s Multi Correxion Revive + Glow Vitamin C Serum is a lightweight formula that contains 10 percent vitamin C. This serum works to brighten up dull skin and keep your complexion looking firm and glowy.
With the StriVectin Multi-Action Super C Brighten & Correct Vitamin C Serum, you get the best of both worlds. This blend features vitamin C and acerola cherry extract to brighten and retinol to smooth any texture or lines.
You can thank a combination of L-ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbyl phosphate, and a variety of vitamin C-rich fruits like kakadu plum, pineapple, and papaya for the potent brightening benefits present in Naturium’s Vitamin C Complex Face Serum. Shake well before application and you’re protected for the day (after sunscreen, of course).
Farmacy decided to skip adding water as a filler ingredient in its 10% Waterless Vitamin C Serum, which means its star ingredients — 10 percent L-ascorbic acid and one percent alpha-arbutin — are more potent than you can even imagine. For hydration, there’s upcycled tangerine peel and sugar beet to maintain moisture levels all day long. (Just don’t forget to follow up with SPF!)
We love and trust BeautyStat’s Universal C Skin Refiner because a cosmetic chemist is behind the formulation. This treatment’s ingredient list spotlights a potent 20-percent concentration of L-ascorbic acid to reduce sun spots and hyperpigmentation, while evening skin tone. Because it’s so lightweight, our editors say it works extremely well underneath makeup.
