The Best Vitamin C Serums For Different Skin Types

Pricey but potent, SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic serum is a cut above the rest, regularly hitting best-of lists for dermatologists and beauty editors alike. It uses a patented formula that is super stable, suitable to all skin types, light to apply, absorbent on the skin, and sits easily under other skincare and makeup. While it's intended to help with fine lines and wrinkles, it also gives the immediate effect of plump glowy skin. If this is within your budget, it is worth the investment.

This powerful Vitamin C serum will help to protect your skin from environmental damage as well as improve overall radiance. Designed to be suitable for all skin types (including sensitive), La Roche-Posay’s Vitamin C12 Serum blends stable, pure vitamin C with supportive, effective ingredients that improve the skin’s texture and tone—making the fact that it's easier on the wallet just a bonus.

If you’re looking for a Vitamin C serum that packs in natural ingredients, The Jojoba Company’s Vitamin C Glow Potion is our recommendation. It uses THD Ascorbate, which is a more stable form of Vitamin C to help fight the signs of ageing while still being gentle on sensitive skin. The formula also features turmeric, tomato and raspberry oils and extracts to boost the effects of Vitamin C.

This budget-friendly serum contains a hydrating cocktail of brightening Vitamins C, hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5 to nourish and soothe the skin. Its quick absorbing and non-greasy formula means it's perfect for applying under make-up in the morning and suitable for all types of skin.

Although certainly on the pricier end, this Vitamin C serum is formulated with oily and combination skin in mind, and our oily T-zone is ever so grateful. Treat yourself to the good stuff and add this serum that targets free radicals, cell turnover, and discolouration to your routine.

An excellent choice for blemish-prone, sensitive and ageing skin, this highly potent yet gentle Vitamin C serum contains l-ascorbic acid, Vitamin E and A, and olive leaf extract for extremely powerful antioxidant protection while decreasing the signs of ageing.

If you haven't heard of them, Aspect sources the highest-quality ingredients possible from the world's best pharmaceutical and bio-technology companies. Their Vitamin C serum is one of the best, with a lightweight and fast-absorbing formula that works to reduce fine lines while firming and brightening the skin.
