Vitamin C Serums That Are As Good As The Fountain Of Youth

Time for some vitamin C, baby!

Unless you’re hiding something from the rest of us, you probably haven’t nailed down the location to the fountain of youth. Fortunately, the next best thing to eternal youth is entirely within reach.

You might have heard some rumblings that vitamin C serum is a game-changing skincare product. Most of us know this familiar ingredient as an immune booster but vitamin C also happens to be a superstar when it comes to its anti-aging properties.

Long story short, vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant and when it’s used topically in a well-formulated serum, it neutralizes free radicals that cause those pesky signs of aging.

Depending on the formula you choose, a vitamin C serum that jives well with your skin can show result within a few short weeks. You’ll notice your skin is brighter, tighter and fine lines become fewer and further between.

Regularly incorporating a quality vitamin C serum into your skincare regime is one of the best things you can do to turn back time or at least stop time in its tracks.

These topical vitamin C serums may be pricey but they’re worth every penny:

SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic
SkinCeuticals
Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Probably. SkinCeuticals produces a widely-lauded vitamin C serum that’s lightweight and absorbs easily into the skin. Customers continue to buy this product despite its hefty price tag because quite simply, it works. $163. Available at media-spas and dermatologist offices nationally. Visit SkinCeuticals.ca for locations.
Cosmetic Skin Solutions Vitamin C+ E
Cosmetic Skin Solutions
This is a good alternative to SkinCeuticals and comes at a much lower price. If you’re looking to try a vitamin C serum that consistently gets good reviews, Cosmetic Skin Solutions is a great mid range product that does the same work as its pricier competitors. $39.85-$74.85. Available at cosmeticskinsolutions.com.
sérumtologié® C serum °22
Serumtologie
One of the defining features of this particular vitamin C serum is that it contains 22 per cent natural vitamin C, while most serums only contain 15-20 per cent. It also contains five per cent Hyaluronic acid, another potent anti-aging ingredient that helps take years off of aging skin. $35. Available at serumtologie.com.
Foxbrim Vitamin C Serum
Foxbrim
If you thought vitamin C serum was a bit out of your price range, you would be wrong. Foxbrim produces a version that’s entirely affordable if you’re just looking to experiment. Amazon reviews rarely lie and their vitamin C serum has received overwhelmingly positive ratings. $15. Available at Foxbrim.com.
Oz Naturals Vitamin C Serum
OZNaturals

TruSkin Naturals Vitamin C Serum
TruSkin Naturals
If you make beauty decisions based heavily on crowdsourcing, TruSkin has quite a few happy customers in its corner. This reasonably-priced vitamin c serum seems to strike the right balance between price and positive reviews on Amazon, which makes it a pretty safe bet. $35.99. Available at amazon.com.
Drunk Elephant C-Firma Day Serum
Drunk Elephant
If not just for the name alone, you should definitely invest in a bottle of Drunk Elephant’s take on vitamin C serum if aging skin is a concern. The product was recently reformulated for even better results and fans of pumpkin spice will love the faint smell of fall’s favourite squash. $80. Available at drunkelephant.com.
