I’m finally back to blogging after a little break, and I’m promising myself (and you!) to post more often from now on. Let’s kick things off with a product that has truly earned a permanent spot in my skincare routine — the Minimalist Vitamin C Serum.
I’ve been using this serum for about three months now, and I’m already on my second bottle. Since this was my first time trying a Vitamin C product, I decided to start with the 10% concentration. Quick tip: if you’re introducing your skin to any active ingredient, it’s always better to start with a lower percentage and slowly work your way up.
How I Use the Minimalist Vitamin C Serum in My Routine?
At first, I used it only in the mornings, but now I’ve added it to my night routine too. After washing my face, it’s the first thing I apply, followed by a good moisturizer and sunscreen (in the mornings). I love that the serum is lightweight, fragrance-free, and absorbs quickly, making it super easy to layer. It also comes in a dark opaque bottle, which I appreciate because Vitamin C can lose its effectiveness when exposed to light.
After about a month of consistent use, I started noticing real changes — my skin looked brighter, and my acne spots had faded. Now, three months in, my skin feels more even-toned and glowy. I just stick to three drops at a time — I learned the hard way that using too much can lead to redness or irritation.
One more thing I love: even with my oily skin, this serum didn’t cause any breakouts.
Pros:
Affordable and beginner-friendly
Reduces dark spots and brightens skin
No fragrance, lightweight texture
Thoughtful packaging to protect the serum
Cons:
Honestly, none for me!
Would I repurchase? Absolutely — in fact, I already have. If you’re new to Vitamin C and looking for a gentle but effective option, this serum is worth a try.
