What the gurus are saying

Gurus praise this serum for delivering a stable, gentle vitamin C derivative at an affordable price point, making it an especially strong choice for those new to vitamin C or with sensitive skin. The 5% THD ascorbate concentration is hard to find at this price, and the simple formula with five ceramides and no fragrance, essential oils, or dyes means it layers cleanly under other products and makeup. Anyone starting with vitamin C may want to ease in gradually, using one to two pumps and building tolerance over time.

"I've been actually liking Vanac Cream's vitamin C serum. I was actually surprised it came out with one, but this one is a vitamin C derivative, and I don't find this oxidizing very readily so I like it. It's 30 something bucks, very nice, very affordable."
Approved
"This also has several types of vitamin C in it, the most concentrated one I think is the THD ascorbate, so it's an option if you're looking for a vitamin C serum that's not quite as expensive as the Peter Thomas Roth but with that form of vitamin C in it, which is actually hard to find. It's 5% THD ascorbate in this one."

The BEST Budget Skincare of 2023! | The Budget Derm
"The best budget vitamin C serum of the year for me is this one by Vanac Cream vitamin C serum. This contains 5% Tetra hexal desal a sorbate form of vitamin C which is the most stable, the least irritating, so I love this for the skin. If you have sensitive skin you are new to vitamin C, start here. You cannot go wrong."

BEST BUDGET Vitamin C Serum UNDER $20! | The Budget Dermatologist
"If you have never used any vitamin C at all before and you're not sure if you can tolerate this powerhouse product, it is totally okay to start low and go slow and then build up to this as tolerated. The fact that this has THD and they tell us the exact percentage that is in this product and it's priced extremely well is truly amazing, that is so hard to find. The overall formulation here is budget dermatologist approved because it is a simple formulation without a bunch of added ingredients to potentially bother your skin. This is a no-brainer for very sensitive skin people. It also contains five types of ceramides in it, this is going to strengthen and moisturize your skin barrier. Very simple, no fragrance, no essential oils, no dyes, no parabens. It has a milky consistency, very lightweight and it absorbs nearly instantly. I just use one to two pumps for the entire face and any of your skincare products will wear so nicely over this, even makeup, because this is truly so thin, so lightweight and it absorbs rapidly. It is weightless on the skin, no film, no tackiness, no residue left behind. You can easily apply the rest of your skincare routine products right over this, even makeup, without any issues."
