Mad Hippie Vitamin C Serum for Face – Hyaluronic Acid, Ferulic Acid & Vitamin E, Anti-Aging, Glow Up Essentials, Cruelty-Free Skin Care, 1.02 Oz

I am honestly obsessed with this Vitamin C. From the first few uses, my skin looked brighter, smoother, and so much more even. The texture is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave any sticky feeling. It layers perfectly under my moisturizer and makeup. I also love that it doesn’t irritate my skin at all — just a healthy glow every morning. This has definitely become a staple in my routine. Highly, highly recommend!

I love vitamin c. I have used a thousand serums in my routine, but I’ve never been extremely happy with the results. Not even with the uber-famous (and uber-expensive) SkinCeuticals ferulic. The reason is that the form of vitamin they use (ascorbic acid) is unstable and sensitive to air/light, so they lose since day one the magic. Also, for extremely sensitive people, Ascorbic acid might be irritating/drying. But Still, vitamin c is an all-time star ingredient: protects skin from sun damage, repairs existing damage, and has amazing anti-aging properties (in vivo studies show reduction in wrinkles, dark spots, texture..) let aside the glow. So I decided to change and add the Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate variation. The effects are almost identical, it's gentle, AND most importantly, it's not prone to oxidation at all, so the shelf-life is much much longer. That’s how I found this little gem: a perfect formulated serum, both in ingredients, and PH. And after the first week, I was totally in love. Personally, I’m a fan of minimalist products in skincare, meaning the less unnecessary fillers, the better. This is why I love cerave, and this is also why I love mad Hippie: it has a short ingredient list, but ultra loaded with good stuff for the skin. The formula has a whopping 10% vitamin c(Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate-SAP). Maybe you think, why I use this instead of or regular C, backed by tons of research? According to science, SAP gets converted into ascorbic acid in the skin anyway. Also, multiple clinical trials have shown additional acne-fighting benefits that Ascorbic Acid does not. Short story, scientists know that lipid peroxidation (i.e. the oxidation of sebum) plays a MAJOR role in the development of acne, comedones and inflammation related to acne. Well, it turns out that SAP reduces sebum oxidation by up to 40% Also, it’s not irritation. Regular Ascorbic Acid requires an inherently low pH to be effective, so it can be irritating if your skin is not used to chemical exfoliation. In fact, over exfoliation leads to destroyed moisture barrier. It also has vitamin e, that works in combination with c for photo protection against UV rays (premature aging, and potential damage to DNA), inhibits tyrosinase thereby reducing dark spots. As SkinCeuticals, it also has ferulic, that works synergistically with C and E for photo protection by inhibiting free radical formation and absorbs UV radiation. The super humectant, Hyalyrinuc acid is also part of the formul,a a well-known humectant, as well as Aloe Vera( antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, moisturizing, lightening, and healing properties). Konjac Root Powder (It has a ton of vitamins and minerals including A, E, C, D, B, copper, magnesium, iron, niacin, zinc, folic acid etc) Grapefruit (Antioxidant, antifungal, and secondary preservative. May have natural and gentle exfoliating properties) Chamomile Extract (flavonoids for sensitive skin, and inhibits free radical synthesis, and i vasodilator (i.e. increases blood flow to skin), Clary Sage (antioxidant and antimicrobial). This serum is fantastic, also it has a very subtle scent, and has slippery texture that dries matte, non tacky at all (hello skinceuticals, ) So, if you are looking for a new addition to you routine, looking for extra hydration and photoprotecton and avoiding dryness, try this, it has totally changed my skin for good!

Definitely makes a difference in tired eyes. Great quality.

I was recommended this by a friend and I’m so glad I tried it. My skin has improved so much since starting this. I felt like I had dull lifeless skin before but it now is glowing. I also have very sensitive skin and this hasn’t irritated me at all. Also, this has a higher concentration of vitamin c for a better price compared to a lot of other brands. I apply it on damp skin, let it fully dry and do the rest of my skin care over it. Worth trying out!

Pretty good serum. I used to swear by Vichy's vitamin C, but I began looking for a brand that is cruelty free. This doesn't irritate my skin at all. While it doesn't seem to leave me with the same glow that Vichy's did, it's a great serum for a great price.

Second time purchasing this bottle and had to leave a review! The serum is so light and refreshing, every time you apply it to your skin it’s spreads so easily and doesn’t feel tacky as it dries! You don’t even know it’s there once it fully absorbs into your skin. Immediately after application you you can notice the subtle glow on your skin. It most notably helps reduce darkness and puffiness around my eyes!

Wonderful vitamin C! My skin feels so soft after using it. I can tell my face is more hydrated. Highly recommended.

Mad Hippie’s Vitamin C Serum is a total skincare win! 🧴✨ My skin feels noticeably brighter, softer, and more hydrated after just a few uses. The texture is smooth and lightweight — it absorbs beautifully without feeling greasy. I love the clean, natural ingredients 🌱 and how gentle it is on my sensitive skin. No irritation, just a healthy glow! 🌞 This serum has become a must-have in my morning routine. Highly recommend if you want radiant, even-toned skin! 💛😊
