Mad Hippie Vitamin C Serum
PRICE: $33.99
SHOP: @Ulta & madhippie.com
An award-winning serum formulated with a blend of antioxidants that leave skin soft and glowing and work wonders on acne-prone skin, discoloration, aging and sun damaged skin, this product utilizes Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, a more stable form of vitamin C than the commonly used L-Ascorbic Acid found in most skin care products, which provides the same benefits without the risk of oxidation and irritation that is often associated with L-Ascorbic Acid. This product is also formulated with skin-loving ingredients such as Vitamin E, which reduces the appearance of wrinkles; Hyaluronic Acid to plump up skin; and Chamomile Extract, which soothes and calms skin. In a clinical study, 94% of users saw smoother, softer-looking skin and 100% saw healthier-looking skin, with 0% of participants reporting irritation.
