The Best Vitamin C Serums For Brighter, Glowing Skin
Vitamin C Complex Serum
£22 | Naturium
We already love Naturium’s entire skincare line (and don’t even get us started on the bodycare) but this might just be the standout. Clinically proven to reduce the appearance of wrinkles in as little as four weeks, it delivers impressive results at a brilliant price point – plus, it layers beautifully under make-up. With more than 800 five-star reviews, it’s safe to say we’re not the only ones who are obsessed.

Skin Renewing 10% Pure Vitamin C Serum With Ceramides
£21.75 (was £29) | CeraVe
If you’ve struggled to tolerate vitamin C in the past, this might be the formula that changes your mind. Enriched with ceramides – a CeraVe signature – it helps to soothe and strengthen the skin barrier, cushioning the potency of vitamin C so you get all the brightening and anti-ageing benefits without any irritation. The texture is another highlight: rich, comforting and deeply nourishing.

15% Vitamin C + EGF Serum
£15 | The INKEY List
Traditionally, potent, results-driven serums have come with a higher price tag but this one proves great skincare doesn’t have to cost a fortune. Combining a stable form of vitamin C with plant-derived peptides to boost firmness and elasticity, it delivers impressive results. In trials, nearly 90% of users reported brighter, more even skin in just one month.

CC Me Serum
£65 | Summer Fridays
Vegan and cruelty free, this serum combines two forms of vitamin C to deliver both immediate radiance and long-term brightening benefits. It works to visibly fade dark spots and pigmentation, while hydrating and strengthening the skin. With moisture-locking squalane, soothing green tea extract and firming peptides, it’s a true skin-enhancing cocktail in a bottle.

C E Ferulic Vitamin C Serum
£165 | SkinCeuticals
A long-time favourite among beauty editors and skincare experts, this potent antioxidant serum combines pure vitamin C, vitamin E and ferulic acid for a powerful triple-action effect. While the vitamins help to fade dark spots and soften fine lines, ferulic acid defends against environmental stressors – specifically UV rays and pollution to blue light – to preserve youthful, healthy-looking skin. With consistent use, it’s one of the most effective formulas for preventing and diminishing pigmentation.

Serums Light On Serum With Centella + Vita C
£11.25 (was £15) | Beauty Of Joseon
As with most K-beauty staples, this formula is all about protecting and preserving the skin to enhance its natural radiance and softness. Its hero ingredient – centella asiatica (also known as Indian pennywort) – is renowned for its soothing and healing properties, while the added vitamin C provides antioxidant protection and amplifies brightness for a healthy, luminous finish.

Resurfacing Compound
£143 | U Beauty
If you’re looking to streamline your skincare routine, this multitasking formula is a must-try. Though it’s not marketed as a vitamin C serum, it’s powered by the same antioxidant – and it’s so effective, and so highly praised by both beauty fans and experts alike, we couldn’t leave it out. A truly innovative all-in-one treatment, it blends vitamin C, AHAs and retinol with peptides and hyaluronic acid to rejuvenate, smooth and hydrate the skin – all while remaining remarkably gentle.

The Antioxidant
£70 | Skin Rocks
When it comes to skincare, we trust Caroline Hirons implicitly – so if she says this formula works, we’re inclined to believe her. Combining two powerful antioxidants, green tea and peptides, it targets uneven tone, texture and dullness to reveal brighter, healthier-looking skin. For those who need proof, the clinical results speak for themselves – showing, among other benefits, a visible reduction in redness within just a month.
