Vitabrid C12 12 Hour Vitamin C Soothing Serum

As someone who writes about beauty and skincare, I regularly get asked for recommendations and one brand which I use myself and consistently recommend is Vitabrid C12 which I've been a fan of ever since I was introduced to their Scalp+ ShampooVitamin C Face Brightening Powder and Dual Sheet Masks in 2019. Here is my introduction and review. The Vitabrid C12 Vitamin C Face Brightening Powder remains one of my favorite Vitamin C skincare products both for it's stabilized form as well as the brand's proprietary technology that creates a highly effective delivery system which provides a continuous release of the ingredient for maximum absorption and efficacy. Known as Vitabrid CG, this breakthrough complex stores and preserves Vitamin C within skin-friendly mineral layers that releases the highly activated Vitamin C continuously to the deepest layers of skin over 12 hours upon application so that it works with the body’s natural abilities to heal itself from the inside out. This technology continues to be harnessed in their latest launch - Vitabrid C12 12 Hour Vitamin C Soothing Serum.

The Packaging

How To Use
Remove the rubber packing of the Soothing Powder and install the cone nozzle cap. Dispense 2-3 pumps of Soothing Serum onto your hand. Press the nozzle 1-2 times to dispense the powder. Mix the serum and powder together and smooth onto clean face and neck.


The Experience
Vitabrid C12 Soothing Serum is a milky liquid with a watery gel consistency and a very light refreshing scent. The soothing powder is an extremely fine white powder. The powder easily dissolves and mixes with the serum. This particular product actually suits the skin of my husband who has mild rosacea better so he has been using this for the past month in the morning and evenings as the serum step, following toner and prior to moisturizer in his skincare routine. At first he wasn't a fan a of having to mix the serum and powder together but once he got used to it, it wasn't an issue at all. He mentioned that it has a mild cooling sensation upon application which he finds pleasant and he likes the lightweight feel as well as how quickly it absorbs without any heaviness or stickiness because he doesn't really like to wait to apply moisturizer. I think it took at least two weeks before we saw any results but since using this serum, his skin appears brighter and more even toned overall and we've also seen some fading in his post acne scars. Best of all, it works gently and effectively without any irritation or dryness and soothes and calms skin as claimed. We're impressed and this serum has earned a place in his routine as we're convinced that with consistent and continued usage, we will see even more improvement. 

There are many vitamin C products out there but Vitabrid C12 is next level because of their advanced potent ingredients and innovative transdermal delivery system that overcomes the limitations of traditional vitamin C, which is easily oxidized, water-soluble and can be difficult to absorb into the skin.
