Mad Hippie - Vitamin C Serum, 30g

This is fantastic! Since I started using this, my skin's really cleared up, and the tone is much more even. Everything just feels - and looks - calmed and clarified. I actually can't remember the last time my skin looked this good. Even the stubborn spots around my chin have gone. I've been using the serum together with Simple Spotless Skin Triple Action Face Wash (this was a great find for spotty but sensitive skin by the way), and taking high-strength vitamin C and zinc orally. I wanted to go for a double attack - inside and out! I do have very sensitive skin, but this one just goes on beautifully with no warmth or stinging at all (tell-tale signs of irritation for me). It sinks into the skin quickly, isn't greasy, and I can use it under BB cream or foundation. I find some products sort of 'peel' underneath make-up, leaving tiny clumps that look like dirt, but this doesn't at all. It has no scent. To begin with, I think I used a little too much of the product (I filled the dispenser to the top). I realised this was probably a bit of a waste. With somewhat more sparing usage, I'm hoping I can get much better value for money out of a bottle with the same results. All in all, I've very happy with this purchase. I've just finished the first bottle, and have already ordered again.

I rarely write reviews cause I can’t be asked but when something is really good (or really bad) I force myself a little. I definitely recommend this product because it actually works! Well at least for me. I spent ages on the internet, and you know how all the product are always great and you don’t know what to go for and you that close to spending 100 quid out of desperation. Well I think I have for the first time ever made the right choice. Until I started using mad hippie my skin was dry and lumpy and after 2/3 days using it (yes 2/3 days) my skin became super smooth and healthy ( I also using a moisturizer though). It smells really nice and on top of everything it’s complety natural, ethical and affordable. Happy days. Go for it!

I am a skincare addict. This is a very good serum. Three drops is enough to cover your face. Definite smoothing, brightening and no irritation. No particular smell.

I like this so far been using it for a few nights now, it's lightweight serum non gritty and non tingly. So could be worn during the day under makeup.

Recommended to me by a croupier in Vegas with the most INCREDIBLE skin. He looked 20 and was actually nearly 43, it was ridiculous. This was a key part of his regimen and his number one product - let me state here he put A LOT of additional work into his skin besides this product but said this one was the most important. I suffer from rosacea and I've found it to be helping already and I've only been using it 2 weeks. Makes my skin really smooth and I swear the little lines I have are improving. Fantastic product and natural too, will definitely be re-ordering.

I have very sensitive skin. This product has worked out great for me. Not only it gives glow but actually calms my skin down and reduces redness. I suffer from rosacea and used to have prescription antibiotic for this until it stopped working. I bought the sibu oil also, and alternate the two under a moisturiser. My skin looks the best in years.

I love the texture and my skin glows

Found this dried out my skin a little, for the price was no wow factor cheaper brands do the same thing like Cerave.

So far I love this serum. It goes under makeup very well and I've gotten compliments that my skin looks brighter. My skin feels smoother and my pores appear to be smaller. I have extremely sensitive skin and it does not cause Amy irritation or breakouts. I chose this brand because it scores 100/100 on the Yuka app! I'm very happy with my purchase!

One of the best vitamin c for face! Authentic product

I am battling some really stubborn adult acne and I knew my skin needed a vitamin C serum. But because my skin is SO acne prone and incredibly sensitive, I opted for Mad Hippie as opposed to other brands that say that they’ll natural but really they’re not. I am very happy with this purchase - I love every single ingredient and it is a gentle serum. I started out as every other day and now I’m up to twice a day. My skin is less angry at me and overall texture is evening out. I can’t wait to try other Mad Hippie products.

I love vitamin c. I have used a thousand serums in my routine, but I’ve never been extremely happy with the results. Not even with the uber-famous (and uber-expensive) SkinCeuticals ferulic. The reason is that the form of vitamin they use (ascorbic acid) is unstable and sensitive to air/light, so they lose since day one the magic. Also, for extremely sensitive people, Ascorbic acid might be irritating/drying. But Still, vitamin c is an all-time star ingredient: protects skin from sun damage, repairs existing damage, and has amazing anti-aging properties (in vivo studies show reduction in wrinkles, dark spots, texture..) let aside the glow. So I decided to change and add the Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate variation. The effects are almost identical, it's gentle, AND most importantly, it's not prone to oxidation at all, so the shelf-life is much much longer. That’s how I found this little gem: a perfect formulated serum, both in ingredients, and PH. And after the first week, I was totally in love. Personally, I’m a fan of minimalist products in skincare, meaning the less unnecessary fillers, the better. This is why I love cerave, and this is also why I love mad Hippie: it has a short ingredient list, but ultra loaded with good stuff for the skin. The formula has a whopping 10% vitamin c(Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate-SAP). Maybe you think, why I use this instead of or regular C, backed by tons of research? According to science, SAP gets converted into ascorbic acid in the skin anyway. Also, multiple clinical trials have shown additional acne-fighting benefits that Ascorbic Acid does not. Short story, scientists know that lipid peroxidation (i.e. the oxidation of sebum) plays a MAJOR role in the development of acne, comedones and inflammation related to acne. Well, it turns out that SAP reduces sebum oxidation by up to 40% Also, it’s not irritation. Regular Ascorbic Acid requires an inherently low pH to be effective, so it can be irritating if your skin is not used to chemical exfoliation. In fact, over exfoliation leads to destroyed moisture barrier. It also has vitamin e, that works in combination with c for photo protection against UV rays (premature aging, and potential damage to DNA), inhibits tyrosinase thereby reducing dark spots. As SkinCeuticals, it also has ferulic, that works synergistically with C and E for photo protection by inhibiting free radical formation and absorbs UV radiation. The super humectant, Hyalyrinuc acid is also part of the formul,a a well-known humectant, as well as Aloe Vera( antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, moisturizing, lightening, and healing properties). Konjac Root Powder (It has a ton of vitamins and minerals including A, E, C, D, B, copper, magnesium, iron, niacin, zinc, folic acid etc) Grapefruit (Antioxidant, antifungal, and secondary preservative. May have natural and gentle exfoliating properties) Chamomile Extract (flavonoids for sensitive skin, and inhibits free radical synthesis, and i vasodilator (i.e. increases blood flow to skin), Clary Sage (antioxidant and antimicrobial). This serum is fantastic, also it has a very subtle scent, and has slippery texture that dries matte, non tacky at all (hello skinceuticals, ) So, if you are looking for a new addition to you routine, looking for extra hydration and photoprotecton and avoiding dryness, try this, it has totally changed my skin for good!

Love this vitamin C serum! Works great...non-sticky and absorbs immediately into my skin. Noticing a difference in my skin after 2 weeks...clearer and radiant. Love this stuff. Highly recommend it...especially for the price of it too!
