SkinMedica Vitamin C Complex

15%

Ascorbic Acid, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate,Tocopheryl Acetate, Tocopherol

Silicones in it make it a good makeup primer; stable packaging to prevent oxidation; use one pump per application to reduce irritation, but some people find this isn't enough and use 3-4 pumps; may sting and turn skin red; is expensive (around $70)


LRP Active-C

5%

L-ascorbic acid

Comes in two forms, one for normal skin and one for dry skin; there is also one for your eyes; because of its low percentage of vitamin c, may be a good C serum for those who are first using it; comes in a metal tube to prevent oxidation; silicones in it may be problematic for some people


Skinceuticals C E Ferulic Serum

15%

L-ascorbic acid, alpha tocopherol

Skinceutical’s other AOX serums are also pretty good; smells like cooked meat for some reason
