Mad Hippie Vitamin C Serum 17 ingredients
As a redhead I’ve got some pretty reactive skin, but vitamin C is a must. I’ve tried vitamin C serums with regular ascorbic acid but they were too harsh and irritating, even using once a week. This serum contains a stabilized form of vitamin C that is so gentle I can use it daily without any problems. When I run out, I can immediately tell a difference! My skin loves this stuff. I hope they never Show more
This serum contain SAP not ascorbic acid and “It is more difficult to find studies and documentation on SAP in comparison to the other derivatives of vitamin C.”
The serum did nothing for my skin that might be the reason why.
