Hello everyone, Today I review about two serums: “Olay Luminous Vitamin C Super Serum” And “Derma Co Vitamin C Serum“. Why Vitamin C is so popular? Well Vitamin C is water-soluble and has nutritional reasons. Vitamin C helps most to our skin. Vitamin C in our body is a coenzyme to collagen production basically the strongest stuff that is the most abundant protein in our body and makes up our skin.

My Experience:
Derma Co Vitamin C Serum
Derma Co is a brand that makes products for your skin and hair, and they all are clinically formulated. It contains Ferulic acid and hyaluronic acid. Ferulic acid and hyaluronic acid do great for our skin, they help to keep your skin hydrated and moist lubricated. They keep the tissue lubricated and moist so which is very good for skin production. As we know the age the production reduces, it is very important that we apply serums and cream with these ingredients present.
The three main ingredients that are present in this serum:
Vitamin C: It even brightens your skin tone.
Hyaluronic acid: it improves the appearance of blemish-prone and acne-prone skin.
Ferulic acid: It increases your antioxidant protection.
How To Use It: Make sure that your face is absolutely then apply this serum all over your face. I think 3-4 drops are enough and on top of it, you can moisturize your face with whatever moisturizer you are using. If you are using this serum in the morning then it says that you should always apply sunscreen. So, this is something that should remember whenever you apply Vitamin C serum on your skin, always use the best sunscreen on top of it because it can react to sun exposure and can cause damage to your skin.
So, I used this serum firstly I always had to apply moisturizer on the top because my skin is dry so It was not giving me enough hydration and moisturization which I actually needed. I have used it for 4 weeks I have not seen any difference in my skin. I have some pigmentation little spots, it claims that all the dark spots and pigmentation reduce after its use and that did not happen in my case.
However, i spoke to other people who have been using derma co-product so they are happy with some of the products but again when it comes to Vitamin C some of them say that they seen a huge difference in it. But in my case, I didn’t see any difference in my skin like not a major difference something that I could spot.
So It is an expensive bottle, it cost Rs 899. However, there are other Vitamin C serums that are available in the market for a lesser price. I was expecting a little glow from this product and I thought my dark spots will reduce well that did not happen. Maybe this particular product is not for me, maybe it was not for my skin type, or maybe I need to try something else.
