Vitamin C and Retinol Serum are the two most popular serums in stores today. These serums are highly effective however not knowing the pro and cons of these serums may hurt your skin in a great way. In this post, I will be sharing with you the advantages and disadvantages of these products including their comparison. To help you make a better decision when next you are buying a serum.

1. Vitamin C Serum

Vitamin C serum is used topically as a skincare ingredient to help treat hyperpigmentation, blemishes, spots, acne scars and add extra protection against free radicals.


Disadvantages of Vitamin C Serum

The disadvantage of Vitamin C serum is that some vitamin c serum contains vitamin c in its pure form known as ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid works at a very low PH, making it very irritating to many skin types, especially sensitive skin. Another disadvantage of vitamin C is that it is a very unstable antioxidant in its pure form. It oxidizes quickly, which means it will not be effective for long once the bottle is open. Also, it can become a pro-oxidant that can cause more irritation, inflammation, and acne, This worsens the skin aging instead of improving it.

Solution

To avoid these problems with vitamin c serum, Always buy vitamin C serum that contains vitamins C in form of sodium ascorbyl phosphate. It is suitable for even the most sensitive skin types and helps with reducing inflammation and acne.


2. Retinol Serum
