Vitamin C serums are powerhouse products that help you achieve supple and glowing skin. The ingredient, favoured by top dermatologists, is generally used to brighten the complexion and stimulate collagen production, which helps reduce the appearance of pigmentation and other signs of ageing. Many use it before applying sunscreen in the morning.
Here are four stand-out serums to consider adding to your vanity.
Augustinus Bader

Loyal fans of Augustinus Bader now have another one of the brand’s products to enjoy. The Vitamin C Serum (US$395), which launched in Hong Kong in February, is driven by the skincare label’s Advanced TFC8 technology and contains ingredients such as ergothioneine and algae evening complex.
Drunk Elephant

Drunk Elephant’s C-Firma Fresh Day Serum (US$80) comes with two built-in vials – one containing a liquid and the other a powder – which you have to mix before the first use. The formula is particularly helpful for brightening uneven skin.
SkinCeuticals

SkinCeuticals’ C E Ferulic (US$205) is regarded as one of the most effective vitamin C serums out there. The product, which is available at Lane Crawford, easily absorbs into the skin and is designed to improve signs of ageing while offering protection against external aggressors.
Dr. Barbara Sturm

Available at Joyce Beauty, The Good C Vitamin C Serum by Dr. Barbara Sturm (US$165) has a lightweight, milky texture that works gently on the skin. It is infused with three types of vitamin C along with moisturising aloe vera and hyaluronic acid.
