Day Dream Vitamin C + Niacinamide Tone & Texture Serum.

"If you've got hyperpigmentation and haven't tried a lot of other products, this might be a nice one to start with. We've got that vitamin C derivative sodium ascorbyl phosphate. The reason you see that compared to some of the other vitamin C derivatives is that one specifically has been known for its benefits for brightening skin. Other than that we've got niacinamide, alpha arbutin, tranexamic acid, and licorice root. It's really nice, gentle enough I think if you have a kid or a teenager. This brand is pretty friendly for younger people."

"This is the Bubble Daydream Tone and Texture Serum. It has that hyperpigmentation power within it, but it does so in a much more gentle way. So if you've got sensitive skin and you think this one might be a little too much, opt for this one instead. Or if you're somebody in your teens that maybe has some acne marks and scarring, this would really, really help to eradicate that. This would usually leave a dark mark, but if I use this on top of it, it disappears without a trace. It's also really good as a spot treatment, too. This has a vitamin C derivative, tranexamic acid, and alpha arbutin, which is a great pigment corrector. You've got a plethora of ceramides in here, so it's going to really nourish, hydrate, and build the barrier function of the skin. And you've got some humectants, too, to nourish and moisturize. It really just does everything. If you're somebody that's new to skin care and want somewhere to start, get this, cleanse, put this on, sunscreen, and you are good. You have a great skincare routine with just three steps. If you're somebody that has sensitive skin and you want something to kind of kick up or supercharge your hyperpigmentation game, this would also be a great option. Inexpensive, works every time. This is multi-active done right."

"The Bubble Daydream Tone and Texture Serum could be applied as the first step in a morning skincare routine after cleansing as your antioxidant and barrier support ingredient. This has niacinamide, which is good for dark spots and redness. It also has alpha arbutin, which can be helpful for dark spots, and tranexamic acid, which applied topically can help with redness. So basically, these ingredients, niacinamide, alpha arbutin, tranexamic acid, together they're really great for helping to improve skin tone, even it out. If you've got dark spots, redness, blotchiness, it may help depending on what exactly you're dealing with. It also has sodium ascorbyl phosphate, which is a stable form of vitamin C that does show promise, specifically for people with oily, acne-prone skin, likely similar to how niacinamide is beneficial through its antioxidant effect."

"This serum doesn't have ascorbic acid, which is a very active form of vitamin C, it just has a derivative. I'd give it about a 7.5 out of 10. I think it's introducing people to great ingredients like trans-azelaic acid and vitamin C, niacinamide has a lot of good things in it, and it's for a very affordable price. If you can tolerate it and you're seeing results, go right ahead. I don't see any dangers in this. I like the price, one fluid ounce for $17, you can't beat that. For me personally, I'd rather go for the vitamin C, E, and ferulic acid combo because I like the studies behind having that synergistic effect."

"This has sodium ascorbyl phosphate, which is what you'll find in a lot of your more budget friendly vitamin C options. This is not your L-ascorbic acid, this is not your ethyl ascorbic acid, which I'm a huge fan of, but this is a serviceable vitamin C with a huge supporting cast. I'm a big fan, it's on the best list for me. I would not say this is a vitamin C serum personally. I would say this has other benefits in it. I would use it in the morning after cleansing before applying my sunscreen and I would use it as my antioxidant and lightening brightening serum for complexion. It has a lot of added benefits and the vitamin C not being the heavy hitter here, and for $17 I think it packs a big punch."
