Vitamin C Serum for Face – C + E + Ferulic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, Stable Low-Irritation Formula, Brightening, 1.02 Fl Oz

I love vitamin c. I have used a thousand serums in my routine, but I’ve never been extremely happy with the results. Not even with the uber-famous (and uber-expensive) SkinCeuticals ferulic. The reason is that the form of vitamin they use (ascorbic acid) is unstable and sensitive to air/light, so they lose since day one the magic. Also, for extremely sensitive people, Ascorbic acid might be irritating/drying. But Still, vitamin c is an all-time star ingredient: protects skin from sun damage, repairs existing damage, and has amazing anti-aging properties (in vivo studies show reduction in wrinkles, dark spots, texture..) let aside the glow. So I decided to change and add the Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate variation. The effects are almost identical, it's gentle, AND most importantly, it's not prone to oxidation at all, so the shelf-life is much much longer. That’s how I found this little gem: a perfect formulated serum, both in ingredients, and PH. And after the first week, I was totally in love. Personally, I’m a fan of minimalist products in skincare, meaning the less unnecessary fillers, the better. This is why I love cerave, and this is also why I love mad Hippie: it has a short ingredient list, but ultra loaded with good stuff for the skin. The formula has a whopping 10% vitamin c(Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate-SAP). Maybe you think, why I use this instead of or regular C, backed by tons of research? According to science, SAP gets converted into ascorbic acid in the skin anyway. Also, multiple clinical trials have shown additional acne-fighting benefits that Ascorbic Acid does not. Short story, scientists know that lipid peroxidation (i.e. the oxidation of sebum) plays a MAJOR role in the development of acne, comedones and inflammation related to acne. Well, it turns out that SAP reduces sebum oxidation by up to 40% Also, it’s not irritation. Regular Ascorbic Acid requires an inherently low pH to be effective, so it can be irritating if your skin is not used to chemical exfoliation. In fact, over exfoliation leads to destroyed moisture barrier. It also has vitamin e, that works in combination with c for photo protection against UV rays (premature aging, and potential damage to DNA), inhibits tyrosinase thereby reducing dark spots. As SkinCeuticals, it also has ferulic, that works synergistically with C and E for photo protection by inhibiting free radical formation and absorbs UV radiation. The super humectant, Hyalyrinuc acid is also part of the formul,a a well-known humectant, as well as Aloe Vera( antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, moisturizing, lightening, and healing properties). Konjac Root Powder (It has a ton of vitamins and minerals including A, E, C, D, B, copper, magnesium, iron, niacin, zinc, folic acid etc) Grapefruit (Antioxidant, antifungal, and secondary preservative. May have natural and gentle exfoliating properties) Chamomile Extract (flavonoids for sensitive skin, and inhibits free radical synthesis, and i vasodilator (i.e. increases blood flow to skin), Clary Sage (antioxidant and antimicrobial). This serum is fantastic, also it has a very subtle scent, and has slippery texture that dries matte, non tacky at all (hello skinceuticals, ) So, if you are looking for a new addition to you routine, looking for extra hydration and photoprotecton and avoiding dryness, try this, it has totally changed my skin for good!

The serum has a nice smell, all you need is a couple of drops, and it sinks in well. I feel that it brightens up my skin and firms it up too. Great product!

I am one of those people who like to try new facial and Hair products. Mad Hippie is not new to me but I stopped using this sometime ago to switch to Image Vital C.Having a big family there is quit a variety of facial products at our home since we all for the most part use what each of us like.While I love the Image line and find it really delivers the wow factor I just got tired of dishing out 20 something dollars every few weeks for the vital c serum that is about half this size.I just threw out the empty dropper bottle today.Anyway so now that I have restarted with Mad Hippie I'm really liking it.It is a thicker consistency than image ,the bottle is bigger ,the price factor is much more reasonable. I have found this to absorb rather quickly into my skin but it did feel a little dry and my face definitely felt tighter than I wanted. However I have started noticing the brightening effect this had and I do like that .I like it's not oily at all and I don't smell any scent .I do use this after washing my face twice daily and than I use the Image vital c face cream after this serum is applied. I really find this to deliver the same results as I had gotten with Image and I like that it's thicker ,where Image is on the thin watery side .So it's been a short time that I'm back using this my skin is loving it .I can't say it has helped with those fine lines but its definitely leaving my skin hydrated and with a nice little natural glow.I only wear mascara and lipstick so I do appreciate this delivers the brightening effect.I have never used Mad Hippies facial soap or the face cream but I ordered that and it's enroute so I'm very anxious to give that a try ,especially with all the great reviews I read.This one I definitely will stick with since I personally think the two are very much in comparison. Happy to be back using a great product at a much better price.Thank you Mad Hippie ! Now only if I can get my Daughter to switch as well she would find this works great and she would save a few dollars!!!

I love this serum. I have mature, sensitive and very dry skin. It goes on smooth and fast. Doesn't dry out or burn my skin. I use it under my regular serum and moisturizer and it keeps my face hydrated all day. At night it hydrates all night without wearing off fast while I sleep and I toss and turn a lot. I just started so don't know yet about dark spots, evenness, wrinkles, ect. Its worth it for me just because of the hydration.

For goodness sake I have never seen a worse dropper bottle. This bottle cant stayed screwed shut for anything. I tightened it before it went into the toiletry bag and by the time I got home, half of it was poured in my bag. Its like they unscrew themselves. The corrective peptide bottle does the same. Irritating as all. But I do love this product. Feels nice, never sticky, dries nicely. Fantastic, but the bottle sucks

So far I love this serum. It goes under makeup very well and I've gotten compliments that my skin looks brighter. My skin feels smoother and my pores appear to be smaller. I have extremely sensitive skin and it does not cause Amy irritation or breakouts. I chose this brand because it scores 100/100 on the Yuka app! I'm very happy with my purchase!

Mad hippie makes a great product, this Vit ac is no exception

Lightweight, moisturizing & effective. This vitamin C has already began to lighten my dark spots after only 1week of use. I use it daily and love it

One of the best vitamin c for face! Authentic product

This is fantastic! Since I started using this, my skin's really cleared up, and the tone is much more even. Everything just feels - and looks - calmed and clarified. I actually can't remember the last time my skin looked this good. Even the stubborn spots around my chin have gone. I've been using the serum together with Simple Spotless Skin Triple Action Face Wash (this was a great find for spotty but sensitive skin by the way), and taking high-strength vitamin C and zinc orally. I wanted to go for a double attack - inside and out! I do have very sensitive skin, but this one just goes on beautifully with no warmth or stinging at all (tell-tale signs of irritation for me). It sinks into the skin quickly, isn't greasy, and I can use it under BB cream or foundation. I find some products sort of 'peel' underneath make-up, leaving tiny clumps that look like dirt, but this doesn't at all. It has no scent. To begin with, I think I used a little too much of the product (I filled the dispenser to the top). I realised this was probably a bit of a waste. With somewhat more sparing usage, I'm hoping I can get much better value for money out of a bottle with the same results. All in all, I've very happy with this purchase. I've just finished the first bottle, and have already ordered again.

I really like this product the serum is so soft and smooth and a little goes a long way. I definitely recommend it. Vit c serums usually irritate my sensitive skin but this one is so soothing and makes ur skin look good

I rarely write reviews cause I can’t be asked but when something is really good (or really bad) I force myself a little. I definitely recommend this product because it actually works! Well at least for me. I spent ages on the internet, and you know how all the product are always great and you don’t know what to go for and you that close to spending 100 quid out of desperation. Well I think I have for the first time ever made the right choice. Until I started using mad hippie my skin was dry and lumpy and after 2/3 days using it (yes 2/3 days) my skin became super smooth and healthy ( I also using a moisturizer though). It smells really nice and on top of everything it’s complety natural, ethical and affordable. Happy days. Go for it!

What I saw from an YouTuber's video is that it should've been light yellow. However, the one I receive was transparent but didn't have a bad smell nor did my skin react to it so. Issued it and I like it.
