Beauty and skincare enthusiasts gather around!
From Kdrama and Kpop to Kfashion and now Korean skincare, South Korea’s influence, spearheaded by its film industry, has taken the world by storm, especially in the last decade. The Korean skincare industry is renowned for its innovative formulations and effective results, gaining even more popularity as people began to notice the radiant, standout complexions of their favourite celebrities.
Now, the concept of glass skin has become particularly popular, sparking curiosity among beauty enthusiasts eager to understand the secrets behind such flawless skin. Among the wide array of skincare products, Vitamin C serums stand out for their ability to brighten skin, fade hyperpigmentation, boost collagen production, and help achieve that coveted glass skin look.
If you’re just as curious, here are five Korean Vitamin C serums worth investing in for a radiant complexion:
1. Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop
Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop is a cult favorite in the skincare community. With a 5% concentration of L-Ascorbic Acid, it is gentle enough for sensitive skin while still being effective. This serum not only brightens the skin but also improves skin texture and reduces the appearance of fine lines. More so, it is suitable for sensitive skin. If you’re new to the skincare community, we can safely recommend this.
2. By Wishtrend Pure Vitamin C 21.5% Advanced Serum
For those looking for a higher concentration of Vitamin C, By Wishtrend Pure Vitamin C 21.5% Advanced Serum is a powerful option. This serum contains a potent 21.5% concentration of pure Vitamin C, delivering visible results in a short period. It not only brightens and revitalizes the skin, it is known to reduce signs of aging and hydrates the skin.
3. COSRX Vitamin C Serum with Vitamin E and Hyaluronic Acid
COSRX is perhaps one of the most popular Korean skincare brands in Nigeria. From snail mucin to face cream and cleanser, their products are highly rated and loved by all who use them. This Vitamin C Serum is more concentrated and loaded with 23% pure Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Hyaluronic acid.
This unique combination enhances the skin’s radiance and provides antioxidant benefits to protect it from environmental stressors.
4. Tiam My Signature C Source
Tiam is another popular Korean skincare brand in Nigeria, especially with its Vitamin B3 serum. But if we’re being honest, one other hidden gem from Tiam that is less talked about and highly underrated is the My Signature C Source. It is a highly concentrated Vitamin C serum that effectively targets hyperpigmentation and dull skin. With a 20% Vitamin C concentration, this serum delivers powerful results, making it a go-to for those looking to significantly brighten their skin tone and be rid of pigmentation.
5. Some By Mi Yuja Niacin Anti-Blemish Serum
If you’re just getting into skincare, we highly recommend Yuja Niacin’s 30-day Brightening Starter Kit. But for now, let’s focus on its Anti-Blemish 10% Niacinamide and Vitamin C Serum.
This serum offers a unique formulation that not only brightens but corrects dark spots and hyperpigmentation and improves skin moisture and elasticity.
