This post is brought to you by our Esthetics Experts Panel, composed of skin care professionals, educators + authorities with decades of experience in the industry.

With the help of our Esthetics Experts Panel, we're breaking down everything you need to know about vitamin C and sharing the best and most affordable vitamin C serum available.

but first: what does vitamin C do?

Vitamin C serums have become very popular, as they are lightweight and absorb with ease. The topical benefits of vitamin C are widely known: it’s a potent antioxidant that fights free radical damage to give you a smoother, brighter and younger-looking complexion. Free radicals are unstable molecules (caused by UV, pollution ‐ our own bodies even produce them) that cause oxidative stress and speed up the appearance of lines, sagging and discoloration.

“Antioxidants improve your skin natural regeneration process to repair damaged cells,” says Debbie Jones, licensed esthetician and member of our Esthetics Experts Panel. “Vitamin C works by binding to these free radicals to prevent oxidative damage and help delay age signs.”

common vitamin C serum complaints

Here’s the problem: many vitamin C formulas in the marketplace come with unwanted drawbacks. Consumers often complain that vitamin C serums can cause irritation, bumps or breakouts. Many vitamin C serums also have an unpleasant odor (like meat, hot dogs or metal). In addition, if a vitamin C serum is not formulated correctly, it can oxidize (that means that light and oxygen will break it down so it’s no longer effective).

Bioelements has solved the vitamin C puzzle. The new vc10 daily glow vitamin C serum features:
