Vitabrid C12 Wrinkle Serum Review

You've probably heard about peptides in skincare but you may not know exactly what they are and why they're good for your skin. Peptides also known as polypeptides which naturally occur in the skin are compounds made of amino acids that act as building blocks of proteins such as collagen, elastin and keratin. These are are the foundations of your skin that are responsible for its texture, strength and resilience. Adding peptides to your skin can be beneficial because it can stimulate collagen growth. More collagen can lead to firmer, younger looking skin. 

If you're a regular reader of this blog, you might know that Vitabrid C12 is one of my favorite skincare brands and I'm always excited when they release a new product because it's always next level.

My Experience

Vitabrid C12 Wrinkle Serum is creamy white in color with a silky almost gel-like texture and no discernible scent. The elegant lightweight formulation absorbs easily into the skin leaving it feeling smooth and hydrated. This product layers well under skincare and makeup and I haven't had any issues with irritation. I've been using this serum for the past month in the morning and evening and I am loving how it makes my skin feel moisturized while giving it a pump, supple and radiant appearance  I wasn't sure how this serum would compare to my favorite  Vitabrid C12  Dual Drop Serum (reviewed here) which I had been using prior to starting this serum. I am impressed. This is another standout product that is truly transformational and I would happily use both of these serums because they work. I really like how these products results driven and that their formulations are free of questionable ingredients and added fragrance.
