Vitamin C Serum – Mad Hippie | Ulta Beauty
Mục lục
Love this product and this brand!
I’m so excited to see that Ulta is carrying Mad Hippie! I have tried every product from this brand (with the exception of their SPF) and the vitamin c serum is the stand out product for me. I am very particular about good clean ingredients in my skin care and this brand definitely delivers. I have bought this serum twice, which says a lot because I’m always looking for something new and better. I tried multiple vitamin c serums before coming back to this. The texture is amazing. It’s not greasy like many others. It absorbs quickly and feels light weight. It helps even out my skin without redness and irritation. I highly recommend. Great product for price point.
Nowhere near as effective as L-Ascorbic Acid serums for me
I hate to say it since I love many of the Mad Hippie products (especially the eye cream, cream cleanser and antioxidant face oil), but this Vitamin C serum wasn’t a win for me. I wanted to give this one a try because traditional L-Ascorbic acid C serums do cause some irritation on my sensitive skin. This one definitely doesn’t cause the irritation thanks to MH’s use of the gentler “SAP” version of Vitamin C, but it also doesn’t do any of the amazing things for my skin that the L-Ascorbic form does. I used up the bottle and saw very little improvement in brightening, absolutely no lightening of my age spot or evening of skin tone. MAYBE another few months of use would bring these changes about, but honestly with L-Ascorbic Vitamin C serums I notice some brightening, clarity, and fading of hyperpigmentation in about one week that only continue to improve with longer use, so ? I’m just personally not convinced the form of Vitamin C they are using here is capable of all of the things L-Ascorbic does. I also really prefer to use products that are tried and true/proven to work, and there just aren’t enough independent studies done yet on this newer form of Vit. C. Truth be told, if I had never tried LAA vitamin C serums I might really like this product, but in comparison this just does not even come close for me. That said, if your skin is just impossibly sensitive I think this is certainly better than not using any C serum. I also know that everyone’s skin will react differently; a lot of people out there do seem to love this product.
Leaves Residue

I always find there is a residue feeling left after application and when I apply sunscreen, liquid foundation, blush or anything I get almost flakes or as if my skin is peeling from it. I have changed nothing else in my skin care routine and when I use a different vitamin C this doesn’t happen
Does Not Work

This product DOES NOT WORK! First of all the packaging for vitamin C products has to be in an airless pump or black bottle to prevent oxidation. I purchased this because of the great ingredients listed but after more research, this is not a good product.

I received a sample of this product and tried it under my makeup. I usually wear minimal makeup such as a tinted moisturizer, a bit of concealer and cream blush. I always start with the glow recipe watermelon glow serum and this has a very similar texture. I used it under my makeup and it exactly what I wanted it to do. It makes you look dewy and adds a pretty glow. Will definitely be buying the full size when I run out of the sample!
All Time Favorite Serum

I am obsessed with this serum, and im super picky and my skin is very sensitive and acne prone. I have normal/sensitive acne prone skin, i get a combo of black heads, white heads, and hormonal cystic acne. I have been using Vitamin C serums for a while and this one by Mad Hippie is by FAR my favorite. After I used it for a week i purchased two more bottles because there was a sale.
I am very prone to break outs and my skin is VERY picky with what it reacts well to. This serum is not just gentle and non-irritating, but its also quite effective. I’ve been using it every morning for about three weeks. I have noticed significantly less breakouts, brighter and more even complexion, I swear its also helping with fine lines.
If you are thinking about trying this product, i would definitely recommend. I initially thought it was a bit pricey but tbh its worth it.
Sticky, balls up other products

Very sticky and doesnt mix well with other products. If you plan on wearing moisturizer or foundation it will ball up.
