We show a selection of tools that do not cost too much, but they will do their job.
Serum The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2%
450 rub.
One of the main hits of The Ordinary is a serum with a very high content of vitamin C. It really works: it removes post-acne and evens the complexion in a matter of days.

Calculate the optimal mode of application, it is enough once a week in combination with a neutral cream. Together with him add to the daily care and protection from the sun.

2250 rub.
The high price for twenty-eight sachets, however, is the most practical tool from the Fresh Pressed line. 10% of pure vitamin C is contained in the powder, which foams in the water, the skin after cleansing becomes noticeably fresher and lighter. If you do not wash them daily, but two or three times a week, alternating with something softer, there will be enough portions for several months. It's nice to use before the party - and after that it's good too.
Day cream Lumene VALO Vitamin C
1705 rub.
Excellent shine base cream: slightly reflective, absorbs quickly, befriends makeup. Ascorbic acid in it is an insignificant amount, much more decorative components, but for the first acquaintance the cream is suitable. Moisturizing may not be enough for dry skin in winter, but in such cases additional serum can cope.
La Roche-Posay Redermic C Dry Skin Cream
2409 rub.
This line of La Roche-Posay again runs under the heading "for mature skin", but we are only interested in vitamin C. Here it is present in a concentration of 5%, you can use it daily without fear; if the result is not satisfactory, there will be care in the Redermic series with a ten percent content of the same ingredient. The cumulative effect of it as it should be: over time, the complexion becomes smoother, the pigmentation brightens, the skin shines. Perhaps the least expensive of obstrebolkovyh funds.
Liquid Body Peeling The Body Shop Vitamin C
1490 rub.
Peeling roll with the same hint of the Asian system of care - vitamin C in it, apparently, for pampering, since it was not destined to stay on the skin for a long time. So the result can only be assessed as a whole: it is really a very good peeling that does not injure the skin, but leaves it even and smooth. In the same series, there was also a successful serum in dark glass with a noticeable vitamin C content, but for some reason it does not have it in the Russian online store.
Means REN Flash Rinse 1 Minute Facial
2567 rub.
This remedy is an instant mask with 10% vitamin C, one of the well-known REN products. When applied, the active ingredient is released from the capsules, the skin tingles, as it should be, and immediately after washing your face looks like you finally slept. A nice thing that will fit in the morning care, even if there is not enough time for it. Owners of sensitive skin should be careful with it and start with one application per week.
Serum with vitamin C OST Pure Vitamin Serum Ascorbic Acid
869 rub.
Hit Korean serum, which must be ordered, but definitely worth a try. It already contains 20% of pure vitamin C, it consumes 30 ml for a very long time, it is not worth adding it to your care every day. Like The Ordinary, similar to it, requires a careful approach - check if the product will not be too aggressive for your skin. As expected at such concentrations, lightens age spots, evens skin tone and texture.
Derma E Vitamin C Intense Night Cream
1061 rub.
The cream in a regular jar with stable vitamin C of interest to us. In the morning it can still be felt on the face like a mask, but after washing the result is noticeable: the skin remains smooth. It is unlikely to cope with pigmentation due to its format and concentration, but if you do not expect serious transformations, it can be a good reinforcement in general care.
It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector Tonic Serum
890 rub.
Not the most destructive tool that is suitable for daily or just frequent use. Serum brightens the skin a little and evens out its texture, so it is well suited for preparing for makeup. Bonus - smells of citrus and easily interferes with the cream. If you are waiting for transformations, then refer to the sera with a more serious vitamin concentration, but in case you need to apply something quickly and without problems, you can also get such a version.
