Vanicream Vitamin C Serum, 1.2 Fl Oz, Formulated without Common Irritants for Sensitive Skin, Milky and Lightweight Brightening Serum, Hydrates & Boosts Glow, Dermatologist-Tested

I love this stuff, it smells good but has no perfume or irritants for my skin, it has not caused any acne. It already is helping my dark spots and is such a good deal for what the product is. It is super smooth and not sticky at all which is what I wanted. I also already love all vanicream products so this was a plus to find this product in the same brand. Overall it has had great effectiveness and I love the quality. I will be repurchasing as soon as I run out. Also I am super picky with skin products as I have eczema and like the most sensitive skin on the planet, so take that how you will!

I’ve tried so many vitamin C serums that irritated my sensitive skin, but Vanicream’s version is a total game-changer. It’s free from dyes, fragrance, parabens, and all the harsh stuff, so it feels incredibly gentle and soothing while still delivering great brightening and antioxidant benefits. The serum absorbs quickly without any sticky residue, and my skin looks more even-toned and radiant after just a few weeks of use. I also love that it doesn’t cause any redness or breakouts, which is rare for me with vitamin C products. If you have sensitive skin and want a clean, no-nonsense vitamin C serum that actually works, this is the one to try. Highly recommend!

This is such a great vitamin C serum if you have sensitive or acne-prone skin. It uses THD ascorbate, which is gentle but still effective, and I love that it has no smell; definitely not that weird “hot dog water” scent some vitamin C products have. I apply it to clean, dry skin in the morning, and it layers beautifully under my moisturizer and sunscreen. It is a milky white color, isn’t sticky at all and actually feels hydrating thanks to the added ceramides. My skin looks brighter and smoother, and I feel like it really works in synergy with my sunscreen for extra protection. If you want a vitamin C that’s simple, gentle, and easy to tolerate, this is a winner. Plus I love that it’s affordable and easy to find.

This Vitamin C serum comes out milky but applies clear and smooth, with just a little needed each time. There’s a noticeable smell at first (even though it says fragrance-free), but it fades once on the skin. Leaves my face fresh, brighter, and easy to layer with moisturizer and sunscreen.

Everytime I use a well-reviewed, well-regarded Vitamin C product, my skin will burn, sting, and turn red shortly after. It's no fault of the products, which are actually very beneficial to me, my skin just can't tolerate L-ascorbic acid. It's a shame because it's the most potent and proven form of Vitamin C in skincare but every time I think "well maybe this time I'll tolerate it..." I turn into a lobster. Vanicream's Vitamin C is the first one that hasn't given me a reaction! The main reason, from what I've found, is it uses THD Ascorbate, which is less irritating (but is likely less effective) than straight up L-ascorbic acid. I use it in the morning, and I buffer first with Vanicream moisturizer (I can use it by itself, but with actives I tend to always buffer with a moisturizer first). I use Vitamin C in the morning, and tretinoin (Altreno) at night. It's too early to say whether it's working its magic as I got it just a week ago and any improvement is probably in my head. However, so far, so good, and at least no harm has been done by using it. As a side note I highly recommend that you PATCH TEST before you slather this on your face. Not just because this is Vitamin C, but because all new skin care should be patch tested! Everyone's allergies and reactions to the same skincare product can be wildly different, and just because a product works for one person does not mean it will work for you. I usually patch test on the back of my hand first, then do a patch test on a small portion of my face (like a part of my chin or jawline), and if all is good in 24 hours, I will use it on the rest of my face. ** Update ** About 1.5 weeks in, I noticed that the area under my eyes where I've been applying the cream is looking more even, lighter, and a bit refreshed. If results are consistent, this Vitamin C will have a permanent place in my routine! ** Update ** It's been a month or more of using this - and I think it has a permanent place in my routine. THD Ascorbate is, from my anecdotal experience, much weaker than L-ascorbic acid which you will find in the SkinCeuticals and Timeless versions, but still hugely beneficial to me, especially considering I can ACTUALLY tolerate it on my skin. My skin tone is very even, has a kind of plump look and feel, and my face has a subtle glow! Would you notice it in a comparison photo? eh....probably not with my face. But it definitely shows in real life, and I'll take that over my usual lobster face.

Vanicream vitamin C serum, has helped me with my fragrance allergy problem, I recommend it.

I have sensitive skin when it comes to vitamin C. I heard an aesthetician on social media speak as though she knew my skin exactly by asking "have you given up on vitamin c because it breaks down your skin barrier?" I felt known lol. She then went on to say that I needed to go for vitamin c that is based off of THD Ascorbate. It's gentle and still effective. So, I gave this a go. This one, I can use daily with absolutely no adverse reactions. I put it on in the mornings after cleansing and then layer on my serums and other skincare items. It layers great. I do notice my skin feels a tad oily by the end of the day (10 hours of wear) so I'm ready to wash my face in the evening. It doesn't look oily, it just feels as though I want to wash my face. Which actually works for the better for me as I don't want to get lazy and stop my skincare. It does help to brighten my skin, has a nice light creamy texture (not stickiness), and lasts. I'm glad I caught wind of what type of vitamin c my skin needs, because I had given up on it. SO all in all - If you have sensitive skin don't give up on vitamin c - go with THD Ascorbate (like this one).

Lightweight and incredibly moisturizing! Not greasy. I have sensitive skin and break out easily but this never causes breakouts. I'm 58 and use Retin-A so my skin is like a flaky lizard but using Vanicream Vit. C Serum provides such relief! I wish it came is 32 oz bottles because I'd use it on my entire body. The BEST face moisturizer I have ever found! This is going on auto order for sure!

This is my second purchase of this Vitamin C serum. Goes on smoothly and doesn’t make my skin tingle or feel overly sensitive. I can use this twice a day and even together with retinoic acid which is unheard of. I believe it’s because of the THD ester form of vitamin C in this product which is suppose to be more stable. Topical Vitamin C with ascorbic acid tends to over sensitize my skin and stain my white clothes so I never have used up full containers but with this I’m already about to start a second tube and have 3 more back ups. If you’re using this with other actives like retinol/retnoic acid, I’d give about 10-20 minutes between the products to let them settle into skin. Other than that, this is my very favorite vitamin C serum that I’ll continue to use.

The product is what it says on the label. No irritation. This may be due to the low amount of 5 vitamin C in the product and no L-asorbic acid.

Dommage que cette marque soit difficile à obtenir en Europe.. J'ai eu un mois d'attente pour être livrée mais la qualité de cette crème est au rendez vous.. Pas de parfum, fluide et non grasse elle pénétre rapidement.. Parfait pour ma peau mixte !

Peccato che questo prodotto non sia facilmente disponibile anche in Italia. Negli USA costa solo $23 e qui su Amazon quasi il doppio (ma almeno è disponibile in Italia grazie ad Amazon!!). È un siero alla vitamina C perfetto per pelli sensibili, in quanto non contiene L ascorbic acid, che può causare irritazioni. La vitamina C contenuta nel prodotto è stabile ed efficace. Ocorre qualche settimana per vedere risultati tangibili: pelle più luminosa e incarnato più "levigato" e liscio - dipende dallo stato di partenza di chi lo utilizza. Io lo uso sotto una crema della stessa marca o della Cerave senza profumo e va che è una meraviglia. Il tubetto airless è ideale, peccato che la pompetta a volte perda colpi e non eroghi il prodotto correttamente. Tubetto piccolo, ma ne basta poco e dura un paio di mesi con utilizzo giornaliero sul viso e sul collo. Per questo e per il prezzo inflazionato 4 stellette.

It’s a gentle cream and suitable for all ages.
