I first tried this serum when I was in my early 20s working at a health foods store that sold Mad Hippie brand. This serum was the only thing I found that did anything to help my stubborn acne after years of trying dozens of different products. I recommended it to every customer who asked for skincare recommendations. Now that I'm older, I decided to try it again. I'm so glad I did. My skin is visibly brighter, more supple, and hydrated. Also, the light scent is so refreshing. Will be purchasing again. Review: Best vitamin C serum on the market - One of the best vitamin C serums on the market.

The form of vitamin C that we use is called sodium ascorbyl phosphate (SAP). It is a very stable and bioavailable form of vitamin C and needs a pH around 5.5-6.5 for maximum stability and absorption. Our Vitamin C Serum is water-based and has a thin, gel-like consistency that absorbs quickly and easily into skin. We recommend massaging between 2-4 drops into freshly washed skin that has been gently patted dry. You can adjust the amount to suit your skin's needs." Whether or not this is from the actual company or counterfeit, idk but hopefully this helps. **Q: What is the percentage of vitamin C in this?** A: I wrote the company regarding the question on percentage of VItamin C and this was their response (which seems acceptable to me): "Because we use a different form of Vitamin C than most companies and a different concentration is needed, we don't put the percentage on the label. Most companies use L-ascorbic acid; however, it has some disadvantages when compared to other forms of Vitamin C that are now available. For one, L-ascorbic acid is very unstable and it oxidizes quickly. It is also not easily absorbed through the skin's lipid barrier so a high concentration is needed (usually 15-20%) to make an effective product. At this concentration, while it slowly absorbs, L-ascorbic acid can cause irritation and acne outbreaks for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin. So, while L-ascorbic acid has been around for a long time and it works for some people, we feel that there are better forms of Vitamin C now available. The form of Vitamin C that we choose to use is called sodium ascorbyl phosphate (SAP). It has a salt molecule attached to it, allowing it to easily penetrate the skin's lipid barrier. Because it is easily absorbed and utilized by the skin, it is not associated with the irritation often experienced with L-ascorbic acid. Also, a lower concentration is needed for the same results, which also leads to less irritation. The percentage we use is equivalent to a much higher concentration of L-ascorbic acid because it is more bioavailable (comparable to a 15-20% L-ascorbic acid serum). It is also phenomenally more stable, allowing longer shelf life, even once it has been opened. Although most people purchase our Vitamin C Serum to heal sun damage, brighten the skin, and reduce discoloration/ age spots, SAP has also been shown to treat acne and reduce the appearance of acne scars. We also add Vitamin E and Ferulic Acid to double the photo-protective qualities of the Vitamin C (as demonstrated in a recent study at Duke University). We have won several awards for our Vitamin C Serum and it was dubbed the "Glow-getter serum" in InStyle Magazine and "a miracle worker" in Allure magazine in the last year." **Q: Can this priduct be used around the eye area?** A: I have used it all over my face w/o any issues, including around my eyes. **Q: do you use prior to moisturizer?** A: yes, but sometimes I just use it alone on a clean face. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Actually works *by L***C on May 22, 2026* By far the most visibly effective serum I've ever used.

I've used it for a couple of years now and there is a noticeable difference in the texture of my skin and the brightness. I use it everyday in the morning and in the evenings. It is a very good value as well as there are others on the market that are much more expensive. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Happy customer! *by S***R on July 12, 2026* Really happy with this serum. Bought it because I heard on a podcast that vitamin C was good for my skin, and while I don’t see any remarkable changes to my skin, I love the way my face feels after I apply the serum. My skin is very sensitive and dry, plus I have rosacea, so I have to be really mindful about what I put on my face. Plus, I love the way the serum smells! ## Frequently Bought Together - Mad Hippie Vitamin C Serum, Ultra-Hydrating with Hyaluronic Acid, Ferulic & Vitamin E, Anti-Aging, Glow Up Essentials, Cruelty-Free Skin Care, 1.02 Oz - Mad Hippie Super A Retinol Serum for Face – Potent Skin Repair & Anti-Aging Serum with 3 Retinoids, Bakuchiol + Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid, 1.02 Oz - Mad Hippie Triple C Night Cream – Face Moisturizer, Skin-Brightening, Anti-Aging Skin Care with 3 Forms of Vitamin C, 2.1 Oz --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/7258976-mad-hippie-vitamin-c-serum-for-face-c-e-ferulic](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/7258976-mad-hippie-vitamin-c-serum-for-face-c-e-ferulic) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-22*
