"It seems to have the benefits of an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory ingredient, and it's claimed to be able to boost the skin's collagen production. The best known use for ethyl ascorbic acid is brightening, so it's worth a try. This one does contain grapefruit seed extract, but it has no scent, so keep that in mind if you're sensitive to grapefruit. Typically grapefruit oil is going to be much more irritating than the extract."

My Favorite Klairs Skincare Products

"But for me, I just didn't find this nearly as effective as some other vitamin C products I've used. It does feel really nice on the skin and has a really nice gel texture, but I just didn't find it really did much for me compared to other skincare vitamin C serums I've used. There's nothing wrong with that, to make a great all ascorbic acid C serum it really takes dedication, manufacturing it regularly."

Klairs 🆕🍊 Freshly Juiced Charging Vitamin C Serum Review

"30 bucks seems a little crazy but you know what some people really seem to enjoy this one so far so I'm not totally sold on it using it over the last month I haven't really noticed much additional brightening or anything but anyway at least they threw beta glucan in there although the niacinamide that's really high up the ingredient list is probably going to turn some people off because niacinamide is now showing up in everything these days so anyway this got the sodium hyaluronate and niacinamide which are both in everything these days."

"It's not oily, it's not greasy, but it's just that little hug that really helps to seal the serum in, but it still feels really comfortable and breathable, and really easy to layer with other products. It's an effortless type of product to use in your routine. You don't have to think about it too much. It will brighten your skin, it will work on hyperpigmentation, but it will still be gentle, and it'll bring the life back into your skin."

Klairs Vitamin C Revisited! + NEW Vitamin Charging Serum Review

"I've been really impressed with it. I think it's great for brightening. I think they've really smartly formulated this to really up the antioxidant profile and I think that they have created a serum that is going to address more of the sensitive skin folks who have been turned away from the original Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop Serum. I think that they have overall really improved upon some of the pain points that some of us may have had with the original Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop Serum."

"I don't know where they're getting that price from, especially when we're looking at these formulas having very similar ingredients here. I just think that forty dollars is too much. It's the same amount of product, they're both 30 milliliter serums, they're both using the same ingredients here. I just think that's a little bit too much for this type of product, especially when there's something so similar that you can get for half the price."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Vitamin C

Topical vitamin C is an antioxidant with reasonable evidence for dullness and uneven tone. It breaks down in light and air, so how a product is formulated and packaged matters as much as the percentage on the front.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
