Cosrx The Vitamin C 23 Serum, 0.7 oz (20 g)

The COSRX The Vitamin C 23 Serum (20g) is a highly concentrated vitamin C serum designed to brighten the skin, even out skin tone, and provide anti-aging benefits. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant known for its ability to target pigmentation issues, reduce fine lines, and promote a radiant complexion.

Key Features:

• 23% Pure Vitamin C: This serum contains 23% pure vitamin C (ascorbic acid), making it one of the more potent vitamin C serums available. Vitamin C helps reduce the appearance of dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone while providing anti-aging benefits.
• Antioxidant Protection: As an antioxidant, vitamin C helps protect the skin from environmental stressors, such as pollution and UV damage, which can accelerate aging and pigmentation.
• Brightening: The serum helps brighten the skin by inhibiting melanin production, which helps reduce the appearance of dark spots, acne scars, and uneven skin tone.
• Collagen Production: Vitamin C is known to boost collagen production, which can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving the skin a firmer and more youthful look.
• Hyaluronic Acid: This serum is also formulated with hyaluronic acid, which helps hydrate and plump the skin, preventing the dryness or irritation that can sometimes occur with high-concentration vitamin C products.

Benefits:

• Brightens and Evens Skin Tone: Regular use helps fade dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and acne scars, leading to a more even skin tone.
• Anti-Aging Effects: Vitamin C's collagen-boosting properties can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improving skin elasticity.
• Antioxidant Protection: Protects the skin from oxidative stress caused by free radicals and environmental factors, such as sun exposure and pollution.
• Hydrating and Plumping: The inclusion of hyaluronic acid provides hydration, which helps the skin look plump and refreshed.

How to Use:

• Apply in the morning: After cleansing and toning, apply a few drops of the serum to your face and gently pat it in.
• Use Sunscreen: Since vitamin C can make the skin more sensitive to the sun, always follow up with sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) in the morning.
• Start Slowly: If you’re new to vitamin C, it’s a good idea to start with every other day to allow your skin to adjust to the high concentration. You can increase usage as your skin gets accustomed.

Potential Side Effects:

• Because this serum is highly concentrated, it can sometimes cause irritation, redness, or tingling, especially for sensitive skin. It’s a good idea to patch test the product before incorporating it fully into your routine.
