Glow Maker Vitamin C Serum.

"This is one of the best all-around vitamin C serums that has 15% L-ascorbic acid. It also has vitamin E, it has ferulic acid, it has a few other kind of botanical extracts that are soothing to the skin because vitamin C is very irritating on the skin because it's formulated at a low pH. You need that low pH, but it can be irritating on the skin. I like this formula because it's different enough it soothes the skin with some of the additives in it. This one is $33. I think it's a brand that really never goes on sale. I think you can get it less with bundles, but it's a really reasonable price for such a high quality product."

"This contains the same trifecta of actives, including ferulic acid, that's in the SkinCeuticals $182 option, so this is a great budget swap for that. I do not consider this an ingredient dupe, because the overall formulation is different. This also contains hyaluronic acid, it contains aloe to soothe the skin, and some other natural antioxidants. This is one of my all time favorite budget swaps for SkinCeuticals. I get so much good feedback from you guys that it gives you the glowiest look on your skin, and many people can tolerate this, even sensitive skin people, because of the other additives in it that really soothe the skin. At the end of the day, vitamin C serum in the active L-ascorbic acid form can be a little irritating on the skin. If you are rosacea prone or super sensitive, you might not be able to tolerate this, but it's okay. My best overall budget pick that gets such great reviews from you guys is this one, the Maelove Glow Maker Vitamin C Serum."

"This is the Maelove Glow Maker, your SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic dupe, and it is amazing. It contains L-ascorbic acid, vitamin E, and ferulic acid, and it makes your skin super glowy. I get tons of comments after my recommendation video on this one saying your skin is glowing and you love it. I do recommend putting a buffer on first before applying it to help prevent or decrease your chances of getting any irritation. You can also layer it at night with your retinoid product: this goes on first, your retinoid on next."

"If you want a traditional L-ascorbic acid vitamin C, check out my favorite by Maelove, the Glow Maker Vitamin C Serum. This is going to give your skin a major glow up. It has 15% L-ascorbic acid in it and also vitamin E and ferulic acid, so this is really a SkinCeuticals dupe but way more affordable. Maelove prices their products really in the budget realm all year long, so they really don't go on sale, but this is 10% off if you bundle it with three serums on their website."

"I'm using vitamin C serum tonight, the Maelove Glow Maker, one of my all-time favorite vitamin C serums. It's $32.95 and has 15% L-ascorbic acid, vitamin E, and ferulic acid. I have used this alongside a $182 serum over time and I can tell you that the $182 serum does not work any better than this well-formulated, stabilized vitamin C serum. If you are on a budget, or even if you're not, do not overspend on a vitamin C serum."

"In the morning I alternate vitamin C and peptide. Maelove makes two of my other really favorite serums -- the Glow Maker Vitamin C Serum and another for nighttime. Maelove serums are premium."

"Maelove, the Glow Maker, it is a holy grail of mine. It has the trifecta antioxidants in it: the vitamin C, 15% L-ascorbic acid, the vitamin E, and the ferulic acid."

"May Love has done a great job with their products. Their vitamin C serum, the Glow Maker, iconic."

"Going down the price scale, you have the Maelove Glow Maker."

"Vitamin C serums you know we've talked about Maelove Glow Maker, Timeless Niacinamide Vitamin C Complex Serum, and Rock Revive and Glow, those are all great options. And I love that vitamin C serums can lighten light freckles. I always say use it in the morning and then apply your sunscreen after that to protect your skin from oxidative stress you might get from sunlight and pollution, because it does boost the sun protection abilities of sunscreen."

"Me Love the Glow Maker, those are just amazing. I've talked about May Love for a while, till this day it's one of the best dupes out there."

"Move the Glow Maker is a great dupe to SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic. It might be better for those with dry, sensitive skin, and I love that this is much cheaper than SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic but works very well. In the morning onto clean dry skin after you cleanse your face, just put four to five drops onto your hand and then you can put a little extra if you want to bring it down to your neck. Don't neglect the decollete area."

"I first got exposed to Maelove in 2020 when I first started social media, and I purchased the Maelove Glow Maker myself before I ever got PR packages. I've loved the brand since. I love how they're affordable. They have a great identity where they stay true to their values, they don't try to fearmonger and talk badly on chemicals and preservatives, they just go by science and education."

"You guys know I love Maelove Glow Maker. This brand has a cult following. The vitamin C serum at times would sell out very quickly, but I love that they keep the cost down low, it's affordable. You find it online, it's not in your local retail store, but I love that it's a great dupe to SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic. It has a similar smell, it doesn't oxidize quickly. I've been using it for quite some time, over 4 years, and it's plumping as well, very hydrating to the skin. So you have 15% ascorbic acid, ferulic acid, and vitamin E, and you have some gentle botanical extracts that are soothing. I don't really care for companies that push botanical all natural ingredients all the time, but I feel like Maelove has done a great job with their products. I've loved their retinaldehyde serum, their night serum, the moonlight night serum, but the Maelove Glow Maker was the first product I used from the brand, and since then I've been thoroughly impressed by their products."

"This is a 15% ascorbic acid containing serum that is by Maelove. This is a nice brand, the Glow Maker, very popular. This one's only $33, guys, so very affordable. It has vitamin E and ferulic acid to work with it synergistically and brighten the skin."

"The Maelove Glow Maker is very affordable too, it's 30 something bucks, maybe close to $40 now, but that's a good one. That's a nice dupe to the SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic."

"This is with 15% ascorbic acid, vitamin E, and ferulic acid, like the others. This is the most affordable, it's 30 something bucks, very nice dupe for those. Great for brightening your skin and maybe collagen, but we need to see more studies behind these."

"I started vitamin C serums in my early 30s. It should be in the morning because it's going to protect you from free radical damage from pollution and UV radiation. Say, the Maelove Glow Maker. Treat the neck and the deck, this is the whole décolleté area. Get about five to six drops of your serum onto your face and to your neck, and that's probably enough, and then just put your sunscreen over it to seal it all in. That is going to be great at brightening your skin."

"One that I love and have recommended for years is the Maelove Glow Maker, which instead of $185, will run you about $33. It has the same 15% l-ascorbic acid, which is the vitamin C, vitamin E, and ferulic acid at a low pH, just like SkinCeuticals. And similarly, it also comes in a tinted bottle with a dropper applicator."

"One of the first brands that I noticed doing this is a brand called Maelove. I've recommended their products so many times over the years because I think they do a really good job. They make a product called Glow Maker that is quite similar in my mind to CE Ferulic, has the same dropper and everything, and I know people who have switched over to that product and then been like, okay, I'm never paying $180 for my vitamin C again."

"My indie pick is the Maelove Glow Maker, which is about 33 bucks from Maelove. This one's got the trifecta again: 15% ascorbic acid, ferulic acid, vitamin E. Then it also includes grape seed extract. It's fragrance-free and alcohol-free, and I think it's a holy grail for a lot of people. It's really nice, and if you haven't tried it, certainly worth giving a whirl."

"The Maelove Glow Maker Vitamin C Serum is one of my runners up, and it's 33 bucks. Very similar to the rest of them: 15% ascorbic acid, vitamin E, ferulic acid, and grape seed oil. This one's really nice."
