The 8 Very Best Vitamin-C Serums

Dr. Rita Linkner of Spring Street Dermatology swears by this vitamin-C serum from Revision, which has been previously recommended by dermatologists for fading acne scars and combating hyperpigmentation. Linkner in particular is a fan of its lightweight feel. It has a high concentration of THC ascorbate, rather than L-ascorbic acid, which tends to be easier to tolerate. It’s highly concentrated at 30 percent, so there still might be an adjustment period for your skin. “It often takes a few days for skin to calibrate, but this is a great product to use in tandem with your SPF every morning,” says Linkner. It also uses vitamin E and the brand’s patent-pending MelaPATH technology, which helps with fine lines and protects the skin against free radicals.
