As an active skincare ingredient, vitamin C has been lauded as the winner of topical antioxidants thanks to its myriad of anti-aging and complexion-enhancing superpowers for years, if not decades. Whether youâre seeking to refine congested pores, combat dullness, lift sagging skin, or soften fine lines and wrinkles, most dermatologists will recommend incorporating some form of vitamin C in your daytime routine. Plus, not only does vitamin C help reverse the signs of photodamage and aging, but it also functions as a protective barrier, shielding the skin from environmental aggressors like smoke and pollution, which helps provide a line of defense against future damage.
There are plenty of highly-praised vitamin C antioxidant serums on the market, but of course, theyâre not all created equal. Iâve long been a fan of Skinceuticalâs beloved CE Ferulic Serum (like pretty much everyone else on the planet), but Iâve discovered a new cocktail of vitamin C products thatâs replaced my go-to as of late. Tulaâs newly-launched vitamin C Brightening kit has officially entered the chat. In fact, itâs also led me to cancel a few of my regularly-scheduled facials because my normally congested pores have been shockingly debris-free, so I havenât felt the need for extractions.

This powerful skincare duo addresses a number of skincare concerns, from brightness to acne scars.
This supercharged set includes two of Tulaâs best-selling products: Bright Start Vitamin C Antioxidant Brightening Moisturizer and the Brightening Treatment Drops Triple Vitamin C Serum, which work beautifully together to refine and defend the skin. The formulas are also infused with a slew of other anti-aging and moisturizing ingredients to amplify results and combat any irritation from the vitamin C, including probiotic and prebiotic extracts (the brandâs all-star ingredients) and a blend of natural fruit extracts to help even out skin tone and fade discoloration.
If you donât want to take my word for it, just check out the setâs glowing reviewsâitâs already garnered a near-perfect five-star rating. âI already loved the vitamin c serum so the additional vitamin c moisturizer was an added bonus! It has definitely lightened, and in some place, made my dark spots disappear,â one shopper wrote. Another happy customer who called the duo her new holy grail said âThis moisturizer has not only helped even out my skin tone, but itâs significantly finished my dark spots from sunbathing and old acne scars! 10/10.â
