Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Vitamin C Serum, $99, Sephora If you’re a beginner to vitamin C, I recommend working your way up to this serum by starting on one of Mediki8’s lower strength vitamin C serums like C-Tetra or Pure C15.

Getting a serum with a stable form of vitamin C is crucial to seeing changes in your skin as if the formulation isn’t stable, it won’t work. This is Medik8’s highest strength vitamin C serum and uses a form of vitamin C called ethylated ascorbic acid, which is known for being not only high strength, but exceptionally stable. It’s transformed my skin, making it brighter and more even – it’s honestly like a brightening facial in a bottle. While it’s certainly not cheap, the Medik8 Super C Ferulic performs just as well as vitamin C serums twice the price, making it excellent value for money in my opinion. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve repurchased this vitamin C serum – it has to be one of my most bought beauty items.

Vitamin C can “provide antioxidant protection, brighten uneven skin tone, visibly diminish fines lines, wrinkles, and dark spots, and improve skin’s elasticity”, Ole said.ĭr Ginni Mansberg, GP and founder of Australian brand Evidence Skincare couldn’t agree more. In fact, it’s why he created the brand in the first place – to share the “life-changing benefits” of vitamin C. “Vitamin C is one of the most research-backed ingredients that can be topically applied to your skin,” he told. Ole Henriksen, founder of the much-loved beauty brand of the same name, has been using vitamin C in his skincare range for over 40 years.
