Mad Hippie Vitamin C Serum for Face – Hyaluronic Acid, Ferulic Acid & Vitamin E, Anti-Aging, Glow Up Essentials, Cruelty-Free Skin Care, 1.02 Oz

This is a great product for your face!
Wonderful for your face. It is so easy to put on, you’ll never forget, moisture is so good for my face just a drop is good. I apply my sunscreen right after the Vit C and it is very effective. The size bottle will last for a while so it is a great value. this product absorbs very quickly and out to the world you go.

The boost my skin routine needed!
This has really helped the texture of my skin and seems to help my moisturizer work better. I’m seeing a lot less dry skin and redness, I get a lot of inflammation and it’s been so much better since using this vitamin c serum.

Holy grail serum, with natural acne-fighting and photoprotection ingredients, in a great formulation
I love vitamin c. I have used a thousand serums in my routine, but I’ve never been extremely happy with the results. Not even with the uber-famous (and uber-expensive) SkinCeuticals ferulic. The reason is that the form of vitamin they use (ascorbic acid) is unstable and sensitive to air/light, so they lose since day one the magic. Also, for extremely sensitive people, Ascorbic acid might be irritating/drying. But Still, vitamin c is an all-time star ingredient: protects skin from sun damage, repairs existing damage, and has amazing anti-aging properties (in vivo studies show reduction in wrinkles, dark spots, texture..) let aside the glow.So I decided to change and add the Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate variation. The effects are almost identical, it’s gentle, AND most importantly, it’s not prone to oxidation at all, so the shelf-life is much much longer.That’s how I found this little gem: a perfect formulated serum, both in ingredients, and PH. And after the first week, I was totally in love. Personally, I’m a fan of minimalist products in skincare, meaning the less unnecessary fillers, the better. This is why I love cerave, and this is also why I love mad Hippie: it has a short ingredient list, but ultra loaded with good stuff for the skin. The formula has a whopping 10% vitamin c(Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate-SAP). Maybe you think, why I use this instead of or regular C, backed by tons of research? According to science, SAP gets converted into ascorbic acid in the skin anyway. Also, multiple clinical trials have shown additional acne-fighting benefits that Ascorbic Acid does not. Short story, scientists know that lipid peroxidation (i.e. the oxidation of sebum) plays a MAJOR role in the development of acne, comedones and inflammation related to acne. Well, it turns out that SAP reduces sebum oxidation by up to 40%Also, it’s not irritation. Regular Ascorbic Acid requires an inherently low pH to be effective, so it can be irritating if your skin is not used to chemical exfoliation. In fact, over exfoliation leads to destroyed moisture barrier. It also has vitamin e, that works in combination with c for photo protection against UV rays (premature aging, and potential damage to DNA), inhibits tyrosinase thereby reducing dark spots. As SkinCeuticals, it also has ferulic, that works synergistically with C and E for photo protection by inhibiting free radical formation and absorbs UV radiation. The super humectant, Hyalyrinuc acid is also part of the formul,a a well-known humectant, as well as Aloe Vera( antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, moisturizing, lightening, and healing properties). Konjac Root Powder (It has a ton of vitamins and minerals including A, E, C, D, B, copper, magnesium, iron, niacin, zinc, folic acid etc) Grapefruit (Antioxidant, antifungal, and secondary preservative. May have natural and gentle exfoliating properties) Chamomile Extract (flavonoids for sensitive skin, and inhibits free radical synthesis, and i vasodilator (i.e. increases blood flow to skin), Clary Sage (antioxidant and antimicrobial).This serum is fantastic, also it has a very subtle scent, and has slippery texture that dries matte, non tacky at all (hello skinceuticals, )So, if you are looking for a new addition to you routine, looking for extra hydration and photoprotecton and avoiding dryness, try this, it has totally changed my skin for good!

Great for morning use, safe for acne
I really like this vitamin c serum. I have acne, so my acne treatments can be a little harsh the night before. I use this in the mornings after gentle cleansing and before my caffeine eye cream, a little bit of snail mucin moisturizer and tinted spf and it really helps calm my skin. I’m not looking to treat my acne in the mornings because I want my skin to look clam, moisturized, and glowing, and this vitamin c serum helps accomplish that. I think it is helping to fade my acne scars as well but it’s hard to say if that’s from my other treatments.

This is fantastic! Since I started using this, my skin’s really cleared up, and the tone is much more even. Everything just feels – and looks – calmed and clarified. I actually can’t remember the last time my skin looked this good. Even the stubborn spots around my chin have gone.I’ve been using the serum together with Simple Spotless Skin Triple Action Face Wash (this was a great find for spotty but sensitive skin by the way), and taking high-strength vitamin C and zinc orally. I wanted to go for a double attack – inside and out!I do have very sensitive skin, but this one just goes on beautifully with no warmth or stinging at all (tell-tale signs of irritation for me). It sinks into the skin quickly, isn’t greasy, and I can use it under BB cream or foundation. I find some products sort of ‘peel’ underneath make-up, leaving tiny clumps that look like dirt, but this doesn’t at all. It has no scent.To begin with, I think I used a little too much of the product (I filled the dispenser to the top). I realised this was probably a bit of a waste. With somewhat more sparing usage, I’m hoping I can get much better value for money out of a bottle with the same results.All in all, I’ve very happy with this purchase. I’ve just finished the first bottle, and have already ordered again.

I rarely write reviews cause I can’t be asked but when something is really good (or really bad) I force myself a little. I definitely recommend this product because it actually works! Well at least for me. I spent ages on the internet, and you know how all the product are always great and you don’t know what to go for and you that close to spending 100 quid out of desperation. Well I think I have for the first time ever made the right choice. Until I started using mad hippie my skin was dry and lumpy and after 2/3 days using it (yes 2/3 days) my skin became super smooth and healthy ( I also using a moisturizer though). It smells really nice and on top of everything it’s complety natural, ethical and affordable. Happy days. Go for it!
