13 Editor-Approved Vitamin C Serums You’ll Want to Grab This 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 13 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.
Klairs’s Freshly Juiced Vitamin C Drop contains a concentration of 5 percent pure vitamin C (alongside yuzu, which is also rich in vitamin C, and cica) to brighten instances of dark spots, post-acne scars, and overall dull-looking skin.
Goodal is prized for its vitamin C-infused Green Tangerine line, and the most popular product might just be the Vitamin C Dark Spot Serum+, which is packed with green tangerine extract, niacinamide, and arbutin to treat dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and dullness on all skin types — yes, even sensitive. But for safe measure, there’s also our favorite soother, cica, to regulate skin.
What makes Ursa Major Brighten Up Vitamin C Serum stand out from the rest? This free-squeezed serum is formulated with ascorbic acid polypeptide, an innovative, water-soluble form of vitamin C that the brand claims retains its potency far longer than traditional vitamin C and is better suitable for sensitive skin.
Obagi Medical’s Professional C Serum 10% cuts straight to the chase — no fillers necessary. Consisting of just four ingredients (which does include fragrance, by the way), 10 percent L-ascorbic acid leads the way to brighten and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
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.
