When it comes to achieving brighter, smoother, more even-toned skin, vitamin C serums are often hailed as the holy grail of skin care. But with so many options on the market, finding one that truly delivers—and agrees with your skin type—can be daunting. Enter ALASTIN Skincare C-RADICAL Defense Face Serum ($196), a product that’s earning rave reviews from NewBeauty readers for its impressive results.
In a recent survey of more than 1,600 readers, countless skin-care lovers counted this serum as a favorite, with users praising its ability to tackle multiple skin concerns simultaneously. A 40-year-old reader shared, “Reduces redness and quickly plumps and brightens my skin! I love it!”
One of the standout features of this serum is its lightweight, non-greasy formula packed with vitamin C and 14 antioxidants. Another 40-year-old user shares, “Very lightweight texture and absorbs very well, not greasy at all. I have seen a difference in the smoothness and texture of my skin.” This ease of use makes it a perfect addition to any skin-care routine, seamlessly layering under other products.
The serum’s effectiveness isn’t limited to younger skin either. “Excellent day serum. My skin looks dewy all day,” shared a 63-year-old reader. For those battling redness and uneven skin texture, this serum seems to be a game-changer. A 54-year-old user shares, “I love this form of vitamin C.

Even those with sensitive skin are finding success with this formula. A 46-year-old user notes, “Very pleasant and non-irritating moisturizing serum, can double as a primer. Unsure of efficacy, but certainly has done no harm to my barrier unlike certain C serums I have tried from other brands.” This gentleness, combined with its effectiveness, makes it a versatile option for various skin types.
Perhaps summing it up best, a 35-year-old enthusiast shared, “The best vitamin C I’ve tried and didn’t break me out. Creamy gel-like texture layers well under any other skin care and makeup. And as always, it has the great Alastin packaging where I know it won’t spill or break.”
