Why vitamin C serum?
First and foremost, vitamin C serums are a very important source of antioxidants that protect and feed the skin. Since the body does not produce natural vitamin C, it is crucial to provide your skin with the necessary vitamins. Furthermore, vitamin C protects your skin from free radicals, including UV rays and environmental pollutants.
Always use serums rather than vitamin C creams. Vitamin C serums usually contain a higher percentage of vitamin C compared to face creams or lotions and serums penetrate the skin more effectively. Therefore, serums are always better than creams and lotions.
Adding vitamin C serum to your routine protects your skin from free radicals and simultaneously improves your skin’s barrier. Furthermore, vitamin C stimulates collagen production by boosting cell renewal, making your skin smooth and supple.
Vitamin C is naturally found in foods like oranges, tomatoes, and broccoli! If we eat vitamin C-rich foods to nourish the inside of our bodies, shouldn’t we also feed the skin on the outside?
Amazingly, Plant Mother’s vegan vitamin C serum is 100% organic, water-free (making it more concentrated), and made with fresh ingredients. It contains organic Kakadu plum which has 55 times more vitamin C than oranges, making it the most potent source of vitamin C on the planet! Additionally, Plant Mother’s vitamin C serum contains nourishing maracuja (passion fruit) oil, prickly pear, and jojoba oil (among many other botanicals). Therefore, it is rich in natural vitamins A and E.
Your skin before vitamin C
Before implementing vitamin C into your skincare routine, your skin may have dark spots, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and crow’s feet. If you are suffering from any of these skin concerns, vitamin C could become your best friend!
Additionally, vitamin C works amazingly for other skin conditions like dry skin, eczema, and psoriasis. This is especially true if the vitamin C serum contains healthy vegan and organic ingredients that won’t tingle or burn your skin – which is the case with Plant Mother’s Vitamin C serum. Its natural and vegan ingredients work best for those with dry and sensitive skin because it has a unique formula with no harsh chemicals or synthetic fillers.
Now, let’s look into some examples of Plant Mother’s Vitamin C serum before-and-after images. I love these amazing results!
Your skin after vitamin C
As you can see from Vitamin C serum before-and-afters, using Plant Mother’s Vitamin C serum will help improve your skin texture and deeply nourish your skin.
While applying vitamin C, it is essential to note that your skin concerns will not disappear overnight. When introducing new skincare products into your regimen, it typically takes three to four weeks to see results.Â
Are all vitamin C serums the same?
A common question is: are all vitamin C serums the same? In short, no. Do they deliver impressive before-and-afters? No.
Not all vitamin C serums are equal, so it’s essential to know where your vitamin C products come from and which ingredients they contain. Taking care of our bodies and being mindful of the ingredients we apply to our skin is essential.
As stated above, many skincare brands sell conventional synthetic vitamin C. The issue with synthetic vitamin C serums or creams is that they can cause adverse reactions on the skin. Unwanted skin reactions may include redness, tingling, and irritation. Some people think if it’s burning, it’s working. No! Skincare shouldn’t burn or irritate you to be effective.
In addition, synthetic vitamin C creams and serums may contain more chemicals than beneficial nutrients, potentially stripping your skin of its nutritional benefits.
How Is this Vitamin C different?
Plant Mother’s Vitamin C serum is hand-made from fresh locally-grown organic ingredients. It has no synthetic components or fillers.
This serum sets itself apart from other vitamin C products by having a water-free formula, making it packed with a high potency of nutrients and vitamins. While most vitamin C products on the market are predominantly comprised of 80-95% water and synthetic chemicals, Plant Mother takes a different approach with its 100% natural waterless formulation.
Vitamin C products that rely on water as their primary ingredient often lack essential nutrients and require the addition of heavy preservatives. Furthermore, these water-based products are susceptible to gradual degradation when exposed to air, heat, or light, leading to issues with stability.
In contrast, Plant Mother’s Vitamin C serum has a light, oil-based formula with completely natural ingredients, including antioxidants, and omegas. The secret to the efficacy of this serum lies in its unique formulation and botanical ingredients, which ensure stability and deliver great results.
Additional Actives to use with vitamin C
Speaking of vitamin C serum and its benefits, you can use additional products with it to boost your skin’s nourishment! A few active ingredients that work well with vitamin C are niacinamide and retinol.
Vitamin C and Retinol
Retinol is a powerful collagen-stimulating ingredient. Retinol and Vitamin C together can give your skin everything it needs. Don’t use them together though; vitamin C is best used during the day, while retinol should be used at night.
Like any other ingredient in the skincare market, there are conventional retinols and organic, vegan retinols. Synthetic retinols often cause intense skin irritation and redness. Therefore, as with vitamin C, it’s safest to choose healthy, non-synthetic products.
Plant Mother’s Retinol serum contains 100% organic botanicals, which help boost collagen production and skin cell renewal. Additionally, it is jam-packed with carotenoids (anti-aging antioxidants) and bakuchiol, a powerful “botanical facelift” ingredient, rich in antioxidants and natural vitamin E.
Vitamin C and Niacinamide
Another active ingredient that goes very well with vitamin C is niacinamide. Niacinamide has similar properties to vitamin C, like brightening the skin and strengthening your skin’s barrier.
As always, you should look for clean and plant-based ingredients. Plant Mother makes an all-natural, plant-based niacinamide serum. It is the only plant-based niacinamide serum formulated with a water-free formula, delivering powerful anti-aging actives without causing irritation, redness, or sensitivity. Each bottle is a 2-in-1 formula: both a serum and a moisturizer.
By incorporating niacinamide and vitamin C into your skincare routine, you’ll treat your skin to anti-aging and skin-brightening powerhouses.
Final Thoughts
- Vitamin C is not naturally produced in the body, making it essential to provide your skin with the food and products it needs to fight free radicals and other pollutants.

- Finally, introducing vitamin C into other skincare ingredients and products will create potent effects that your skin needs to feel rejuvenated and healthy.
- It is important to note that not all vitamin C serums are the same. Plant Mother’s vitamin C serum is a great plant-based option. Not only is it vegan and made with natural ingredients, but it also works amazingly with niacinamide and retinol serums.
