I don't know about you guys, but I'm almost positive I revamp my skincare routine every week. I've seriously been trying out so many products to see which ones work best for my super problematic skin.
Anyway, I've teamed up with Amara Organics earlier in February and they were kind enough to send me a bottle of their Vitamin C serum infused with Vitamin E & Hyaluronic Acid to try out. Okay, you're probably wondering... what the hell does Vitamin C serum do for the skin? Well, let me enlighten you all (as I've enlightened myself recently) about the powers of Vitamin C.
Vitamin C is known to be a potent anti-aging treatment for the skin as it protects the skin from free radicals. Vitamin C is also known to smooth/brighten the skin and prevent/reduce discoloration (which is great for me!) plus it helps facilitate collagen production to keep your skin's firmness and elasticity. Vitamin C is also really good for protecting your skin from the sun's harmful rays so it helps in preventing hyper-pigmentation. Like I mentioned, this specific formula is infused with Hyaluronic acid, which helps skin retain its moisture and keeps it healthy and plump. Hyaluronic Acid is also good for preventing fine lines and serums, so yes... this little 1fl oz bottle is packed with some good stuff
The bottle sent over by the Amara Organics team is a 1fl oz bottle containing 20% Vitamin C, which is a good percentage for a serum. The product is also infused with Vitamin E AND Hyaluronic Acid (which I normally find being sold as a separate serum). I expected it to be a tad irritated by this because Vitamin C is kind of notorious for that, especially with my sensitive skin. BUT the irritation didn't last long for me, after my first and second use my skin pretty much became comfortable with the formulation. It is a teeny bit drying. but a good moisturizer after you apply the serum should take away the dryness.
That being said, I don't use the serum every single day, only because I honestly don't think I need to. The key function of Vitamin C is to prevent aging.... and quite honestly, being 22 doesn't really qualify as "aging" to me yet LOL. So I use it once every two days or sometimes every other day (depending on my ever changing skincare regimen). Though, I think I've seamlessly and gradually incorporated this to my current skin care routine so it's become a regular, though not daily, part of it.
As far as results go... this stuff is actually really good at lightening my acne scars. My skin has been less flaky in certain areas, especially my jawline... and to be quite honest this stuff is pretty awesome. I would DEFINITELY recommend this.
