![]() Unlike sunscreen, moisturizers, or oils, vitamin C can’t be wiped or washed off that easily. Think car exhaust, cigarette smoke, certain chemicals, even booze and overprocessed foods.īut don’t worry if you skip an application. Vitamin C has photoprotective properties and staves off oxidative stress from the free radicals we meet throughout our day. One study even recommends applying a vitamin C serum every eight hours, or twice daily for the pinnacle of protection. Overall, I’m extremely pleased with the packaging overhaul! This serum will be a forever repurchase for me.If you’re wondering when to apply a vitamin C serum, the answer is both morning and night, after cleansing and toning. It’s such a tiny amount, though, that it doesn’t bother me too much. By the time I finish a bottle, you can see the liquid that has leaked and oxidized. It’s also much better for traveling! My only complaint is that the packaging will leak a tiny bit. I’m almost done with my second bottle, and I’m happy to report the new packaging keeps the serum airtight and fresh for much longer. The new airless pump is exactly what I had wished upon thousands of stars. ![]() You can imagine my surprise, then, when the serum I received was housed in a brand new, vibrant yellow airless pump. After all, I hadn’t yet tried decanting it into the DE packaging, and it was worth a shot.

I made a detailed video of how to reuse Drunk Elephant packaging, which you can find here. My hack/compromise has been to decant vitamin C serums into the Drunk Elephant C-Firma airless pump. Over the years, I’ve gone back and forth between this serum and other options. I even tried keeping it in my fridge, to no avail. The constant exposure to light and air made the serum oxidate quickly. Vitamin C is notoriously unstable in water-based solutions, so to house the serum in a dropper bottle made no sense to me. ![]() I first bought it from Amazon three to four years ago, and immediately had an issue with it: the packaging. On my hunt for more affordable-yet equally effective-alternatives, I read countless rave reviews of the Timeless Skin Care 20% Vitamin C + E Ferulic Acid Serum. That’s the reason I’ve never been willing to cash out $170 for the cult favorite Skinceuticals CE Ferulic. While I’ve always been a fan of vitamin C serums, I’ve also been a big believer in skincare not having to be ridiculously expensive to be effective. While the brand has kindly gifted me their products, this post was written months before that, and my opinion on the new vitamin C serum packaging is my own. The rose spray is a delightfully refreshing summer mist, and the matrixyl serum has been my go-to on nights when I don’t apply tretinoin. The Timeless Skin Care 20% Vitamin C + E Ferulic Acid Serum, a famous dupe for Skinceuticals CE Ferulic, just got a packaging makeover that is a huge improvement.Ĭlique aqui para ler este post em Português.Įdit: The team from Timeless Skin Care sent me a lovely care package with a refill of the vitamin C serum, their HA Matrixyl 3000 Rose Spray, and their Matrixyl 3000 Serum, both of which I’ve incorporated into my skincare routine and have been loving.
