In case you weren’t aware, Amazon Prime Day 2023 is an intense 48-hour time period of savings ending on July 12 at midnight PT, and thousands of beauty products across makeup, hair, and skin care are majorly discounted across the site.
Vitamin C serums are one of our skin-care staples all year around for their skin tone-evening and antioxidant abilities. “Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that can neutralize free radicals,” board-certified dermatologist Patricia Wexler, MD previously confirmed, adding that the ingredient will aid in your skin’s natural regeneration process, which helps your body repair damaged skin cells, leaving you with brighter skin and fewer dark spots.

While vitamin C is probably more effective in leave-on products versus wash-off treatments, it can also add some brightening benefits to your cleansing routine, especially when paired with enzymes like it is in Babor’s exfoliating, powder-to-foam formula. InstaNatural’s Vitamin C Cleanser also helps refine pores but also includes soothing ingredients such as aloe vera, coconut water, and green tea extract to hydrate skin.
