An antioxidant-packed skin-care routine is a surefire way to keep premature signs of aging and hyperpigmentation at bay. But which vitamin C serums are worth the purchase? These formulas continue to rank number-one at our favorite retailers.

1 / 5

SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic ($169)

A surprise to no one, this derm-approved staple is the top-selling vitamin C serum at Dermstore and LovelySkin. It’s packed with potent vitamin C and paired with ferulic acid to boost its efficacy.

2 / 5

The INKEY List 15% Vitamin C and EGF Brightening Serum ($15)

This Sephora best-seller is loved for its lightweight, hydrating texture. One reviewer described it as feeling like “water going into my pores,” a must for those with oily complexions.

3 / 5

StriVectin Super-C Retinol Brighten & Correct Vitamin C Serum ($72)

We love a multi-tasking product, so it’s no wonder this two-in-one serum is at the top of Ulta’s best-seller list. It combines line-ironing retinol with brightening vitamin C for the ultimate one-two punch.

4 / 5

CeraVe Skin Renewing Vitamin C Serum with Hyaluronic Acid ($21)

A spot-fading, hyaluronic acid–boosted serum for less than $22? This Target best-seller—it’s also noncomedogenic and free of fragrance—is sure to be a sellout.

5 / 5

Marie Veronique Vitamins C+E+Ferulic Serum ($90)

This Credo best-seller is loved for its multi-use ability to shield skin during the day and help rebuild collagen at night thanks to its ‘clean’ yet potent ingredient list. Bonus: Unlike many natural products, this one’s free of essential oils so it won’t bug sensitive skin types.
