A vitamin C serum is the one product that appears in virtually every morning routine I put together. The evidence behind it is solid. It brightens, it protects against environmental damage, it supports collagen production, and it addresses uneven tone over time. Finding one that actually delivers on all of that, at a sensible price, takes some searching. Naturium have already impressed me with their Vitamin C Super Serum Plus (read my review here). This one, the Naturium Vitamin C Complex Serum, takes a slightly different approach and I think it is equally good.
What is it?
A Vitamin C serum which helps improve appearance of fine lines & wrinkles, helps skin look more radiant & bright and shields skin from environmental stressors
What Do I Think?
The formula contains two forms of vitamin C. L-ascorbic acid is the purest and most researched form. Sodium ascorbyl phosphate is a derivative, gentler and more stable. Both work to even skin tone, fight free radical damage and encourage collagen. The addition of a bioactive fruit blend, including Kakadu plum, pineapple and mango extract, adds further protection against environmental stressors and targets early signs of ageing.
The texture is a lightweight gel that glides on easily and absorbs quickly. It is unscented, which I appreciate, and it layers without complaint under moisturiser and SPF. There is no greasiness and no residue.
On the skin it performs exactly as a good vitamin C serum should. My complexion looks more even with consistent use. Post-blemish marks have faded. On days when skin looks tired or dull, this pulls it back fairly quickly.
It does not irritate, redden or sensitise, which matters enormously in this category. Vitamin C serums can be destabilising for reactive skin. This one has caused me no issues whatsoever.
Would I recommend?
Yes. For anyone looking to add a vitamin C step to their morning routine, this is a very good place to start.
