Vitamin C is a potent skin care ingredient but also very unstable, so proper care is important when using a serum containing it. This trio of vitamin C serums comes in bite-sized tubes to limit oxidization and ensure you’re getting the maximum benefits. In this formula, a peptide named Matriyxl Synthe’6, derived from collagen, improves the skin’s overall look and feel.

Our expert says: “My top picks are AlumierMD Retinol Resurfacing Serums, Ultimate Boost Serum, and EverActive C&E®+ Peptide, as they focus on regenerative effects while addressing both intrinsic and extrinsic aging with clean, highly effective formulations. All of them also have a key ingredient called MATRIXYL® Synthe’6®, which is derived from a peptide naturally found in collagen and laminins. Not only does it help to strengthen the skin, but also works to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.”—Marisa Verdi-Liguori
