    • I like the form of vitamin C that's been used3:26
    • I do like the fact they've used gluconolactone3:28
    • You should not be using this in the mornings and certainly not daily either3:30

  4. @vanitarattan reviewing COSRX Vitamin C 23% Serum at 12:48 in a YouTube Shorts video
    COSRX$14.70
    • 23% ascorbic acid pure. This is too high and too irritating for daily use12:36
    • For me this is one to avoid for skin of color12:48
    • This is not something that you should be wearing everyday, especially if you've got skin of color12:55
  5. @vanitarattan reviewing Foxtale Vitamin C Serum at 15:25 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • Very good, Foxtale. They did well with their packaging15:19
    • We have an Ellis pump. I'm very happy15:25
    • The positive here is of course the packaging16:24
    • 15% pure L ascorbic acid
    • This is going to be too irritating to use everyday
    • They added fragrance16:39
    • You never combine pure eloscorbic acid with fragrance. This is a recipe for disaster especially in a hot country16:41
    • The actual formula itself, I think you can definitely do a better job16:58
  6. @vanitarattan reviewing Dot & Key Vitamin C Serum at 17:23 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I do actually like this. This is very nice17:22
    • I like the heaviness. It does feel good quality17:23
    • Smells not too bad, actually
    • ethaloscorbic acid which I like17:56
    • they put in nyinamide which I like again17:58
    • they have used alpha arbutin but a tiny fraction of a percent. So you're not really going to get much benefit from that18:01
    • they put in blood orange fruit extract which is an irritant18:09
    • the packaging is also not ideal cuz it's not airless packaging18:12
    • if you just change your packaging and you just get rid of the blood fruit extract which is an irritant, I think you're going to be on to a fantastic formula18:18
  7. @vanitarattan reviewing Dermaco Vitamin C Serum at 21:47 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • 10% 30 ethyloscopic acid. That is my favorite, one of my favorite forms of vitamin C21:38
    • They put in 5% nyinomide, which I love21:47
    • They also put in ferilic acid at a fraction of a percent which is what we tend to recommend22:27
    • This is a nave safe product22:35
    • I'm not a fan of pipets22:38
    • If this became an airless pump I would say this would become one of the best formulas for vitamin C in India22:41
    • I would keep the same formula actually, but I would put it in airless packaging22:49

    innisfree$22.40
    • I love this at the top

    • Big mistake. They have gone for pipette which is a problem27:01

    • It's safe. There's no denatured alcohol, no fragrance and no essential oils. So that's fantastic28:12
