"You don't necessarily have to splurge to get a good Vitamin C serum backed by science. There are great ones over the counter, and CeraVe's Vitamin C is one of them, it's great for brightening and supporting collagen."

"My least favorite Vitamin C is actually the CeraVe Vitamin C. On paper there's absolutely no reason for this to be my least favorite because the Vitamin C concentration I think is reasonable and the packaging is opaque, but I find that this Vitamin C oxidizes ridiculously fast and it's exploded all over multiple of my backpacks and it's just a mess. [...] Aesthetically it's okay, it's not like a win in any category. I think if you're new to a Vitamin C, the CeraVe Vitamin C is a reasonable starting point, but I wouldn't stay there for long. I just think there are a lot of better options out there. [...] As you learn more and try more and new innovations come out on the market, there are a lot in my opinion better Vitamin C's now than the CeraVe Vitamin C. It [...] not only oxidizes quickly but it stains everything that it oxidizes against, like more than any other Vitamin C products has ever stained anything before."
