Review of the best according to the editorial board. On the selection criteria. This material is subjective and does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is not synthesized by the human body. This beneficial substance should be regularly supplied from the outside during meals or using cosmetics. Vitamin C is very popular for its antioxidant properties. It also triggers the production of fibroblasts and stem cells.

Cosmetologists are supporters of vitamin C, because it fights pigmentation well, and also improves the quality of the skin, activating the production of collagen. The effectiveness of this vitamin in cosmetics increases as its concentration increases. However, high dosages of ascorbic acid can provoke irritation. Cosmetologists recommend choosing products containing a moderate amount of this substance, but using them as often as possible.

Vitamin C can be labeled differently on cosmetic product packaging. The most effective form is Ascorbic acid, but it is highly vulnerable to direct sunlight or oxygen. Less potent but stable forms: Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Ascorbyl Phosphate, Ascorbyl Glucoside. In this review, we have collected the best vitamin C serums from foreign and domestic manufacturers.
