The Way I C It...

Once upon a time, vitamin c was just a chalky, orange-flavored tablet I choked down when I had a cold. Now it’s my favorite skincare staple! Vitamin C has been my not-so-secret ingredient to my bright and glowing skin. I introduced vitamin c into my routine in February with the Caffiene Solution (5%+ECGC) serum by The Ordinary. I apply it in the morning after washing and before moisturizing. 

This spring, I bought the Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Eye Cream that is packed with vitamin c and I loooove it! I apply it day and night and it works wonderfully as an eyeshadow base. I have seen significant improvement in the appearance of dark under eyes and my eye area in general looks bright and feels so soft.  

I most recently sampled Sunday Riley Rapid Flash Brightening Serum that contains a high concentration of 15% Vitamin C. This serum is pricier than The Ordinary but has a higher concentration, better consistency, and a more hydrating feel so it’s worth the splurge IMO.  

Since introducing Vitamin C into my skincare routine, I have noticed much more vibrant looking skin. I love how my face looks without makeup and the way I’ve been glowing all summer. I had a previous hunch that “radiance-boosting and glow-enhancing” products were a scam and didn’t actually do anything but I am now a believer! I have experienced the power of vitamin c and couldn’t be more pleased with the current state of my skin
