TL;DR:

• What it is: A brightening serum with two of the most effective forms of vitamin C
• What it does: Brightens hyperpigmentation and evens out skin tones 
• Who it’s for: Anyone looking for more radiant and/or more even skin

Not every vitamin c serum is made the same, which is why I’m patting on Mario Badescu Vitamin C Serum. Formulated with two of the most effective, most stable forms of vitamin c — an ascorbate and 3-0-ethyl-ascorbic acid — this product absorbs into my sensitive skin with no irritation or redness. Another plus in my book is the scent — there is none, which is somewhat unusual for vitamin c serums. It’s been almost one month since I began dabbing two droplets of this vitamin c serum onto the palms of my hands and onto my face, and the brightening results are already showing. My sunspots across my cheekbones have faded drastically and hormonal acne scars across my chin cease to exist, brightening my uneven skin tone one-morning application at a time.
