Product details
Discover the Revitalift Vitamin C Serum formulated with 12% of the purest form of Vitamin C, plus Vitamin E and Salicylic Acid. This Vitamin C face serum is suitable for sensitive skin and clinically proven to prevent early signs of ageing, reduce pores, and even skin tone.

 

Trusted and recommended by dermatologists, this face serum contains a scientifically proven combination of skincare actives designed to correct skin concerns and protect the skin by neutralising free radicals and preventing damage caused by environmental factors that can accelerate skin ageing.


WHY USE A VITAMIN C FACE SERUM

In our 20s, our skin starts to be prone to environmental damage and oxidative stress which can lead to visible signs of ageing.

Dermatologists recommend a daily dose of Vitamin C serum to promote healthy and radiant skin due to its antioxidant and anti-ageing properties.

If you're starting to notice dull and uneven complexion, visible pores, and fine lines, Vitamin C serums help to correct uneven skin tone, brighten skin, and protect the skin from environmental damage that causes fine lines.

BENEFITS OF L'ORÉAL PARIS’ REVITALIFT PURE VITAMIN C SERUM

The Revitalift Vitamin C Serum is formulated with 12% of the purest form of Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid), a powerful antioxidant that protects the skin against free radicals and environmental damage for 2X brighter skin* and 2X less visible pores**

Visible Improvements *Cosmeto-clinical scorage vs baseline, 63 subjects, 4 weeks.

**Cosmeto-clinical scorage vs baseline, 63 subjects, 8 weeks. 

Includes multiple derm-recommended ingredients such as Vitamin E to improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation, Salicylic Acid to exfoliate the skin and remove dead skin cells, and lastly [Macro and Micro] Hyaluronic Acid to hydrate the skin.

This pure Vitamin C serum is stable to the last drop, driven by its advanced formula, airtight and opaque packaging, and a specialised production process to keep the serum potent until the last drop.

Can act as a primer before makeup application due to its non-greasy and ultra hydrating texture. This Vitamin C face serum is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, with a unique formula stabilised at a higher Ph of 6 (similar to the skin's Ph) to prevent irritation.


RECOMMENDED MORNING SKINCARE ROUTINE WITH VITAMIN C FACE SERUM

Step 1: Purify face with the Revitalift Clinical Vitamin C + Salicylic Acid Cleanser
Step 2: Layer cleansed skin with the Revitalift Pure Vitamin C Serum
Step 3 (optional): For additional hydration, layer with a Hyaluronic Acid serum
Step 4: Follow with a Hyaluronic Acid Moisturiser to lock in moisture for plumper skin

Shine bright!

2 years ago
I was excited to trial this as I have never tried a vitamin c/salicylic acid combo product before. The first thing I noticed was the smell, it is very fragrant, which is a great wake up for the senses! The consistency felt lush on applying and it absorbed ok, not great. I did notice a slight stickiness that I don’t general enjoy when it comes to skincare – so 1 star removed for this reason. On the plus side, I have noticed brighter and clearer skin as the weeks went on so this has negated the stickiness issue, my pores also appear smaller on my cheek area. I would recommend this to others looking to improve their skin texture and appearance.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Made my skin feel so smooth

2 years ago
I liked this product. It's very lightweight and the good thing about it, is that it absorbs quickly into my skin, and I don't get left with any greasy kind of residue. It really gives my skin a boost of hydration, and it works well even after foundation is applied. I have this (I think you'd call it) age spot on the side of my face and it was a lot darker so I think this helped with that. I don't feel my skin looked radiant like advertised but I still like it. I would use this again when mine runs out as I get dry skin and when using this product I don't feel that "tight" feeling of dry skin so that alone is worth it to me

Yes, I recommend this product.

Vitamin C newbie!

2 years ago
I was excited to try the L’Oréal revitalift vitamin n c serum as it’s my first time trying one. I’m a newbie to this serum and it did not disappoint. The vitamin c serum was also quite a game changer and really improved the brightness and texture of my skin. I use every morning as part of skin routine and make sure to use sunscreen also. The serum is very light and absorbs into my skin quickly without leaving any sticky residue.My skin texture has definitely improved leaving skin very refreshed and dewy! I have really enjoyed using this vitamin C serum as as part of my anti ageing routine and feel it has most definitely improved my skin. Will continue to use in the future!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Bright and glowing

2 years ago
I've been using the L'oreal Revitalift Laser Pure Retinol Serum and Clinical Vitamin C Serum consistently for a month and I am so stoked with the results! The vitamin C serum is a winner. Not only does my skin feel brighter and more radiant, but I've seen improvements to the tone as well. The serum was really easy to use, the texture was fine and worked itself easily into my routine. After a month of use, my skin feels noticeably brighter and I'm keen to keep using so that I can retain this glowing effect. Together, the serums have upped my whole routine. My skin looks healthier than it ever has before!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Didn't seem to make a notable difference

3 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this for a few weeks now and haven't really noticed a difference in my skin. Perhaps after a longer period of time it might but currently im not sure it's worth it. The fragrance is really strong and not that pleasant. Reminded me of men's deodorant... if tester it either smelt citrus-y or had no smell at all. The consistency of it was nice and it spread well, although the directions say 2-3 drops and just one squeeze of the pipette emptied it and that was enough for my whole face and neck. It dried nicely but didn't react well with either my other skincare or my foundation as i noticed my makeup piling after a few hours.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Very effective!

3 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used a number of serums and other skincare products from L'oral over the years, always very happy about its value for money. Very excited to try this vitamin C serum! it has a slightly thick and silicon-feel texture, fragrance is there, but not too strong. It stays under my makeup very well and stops my makeup (foundation) from yellowing (oxidating) over the day. I suffer from acne breakouts, and this serum is very effective at stopping pigmentation staying after the acne is gone. I experienced a slight sting (not painful) in the first few days, but it only took my skin a few days to get used to it. Overall I'm very happy with the serum!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Reduces fine lines and pores

3 years ago
I love a great vitamin c serum and this L’Oréal Paris recitalist vitamin c serum was a winner for me. I noticed a difference in my skin within the first week, my fine lines were less visible, so were my pores. My skin looked brighter and less tired and I definitely looked fresher and my skin glowed. The serum is easy to use and sinks straight in, I don’t need to use a lot for great results so it’s quite economical as it lasts for a long time. It has helped a bit with pigmentation but I noticed more of a difference with reduced visibility of pores and fine lines. This serum absolutely makes me look more youthful and I will be buying it again

Yes, I recommend this product.

Didn’t work for me!

3 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wish I loved it as many people I’ve noticed have! It’s affordable it is a nice consistency and spreads out really easily. On the other hand I highly dislike its scent and the dropper doesn’t work really well, I have notice the dropper issue with some other L’Oréal products too. In combination with my other skincare steps I’ve noticed this product after a few minutes starts gathering in certain spots around my face and almost looks like it groups in little clumps. It is definitely not a product for me but read the other reviews as more people have good experiences so I am not sure of it just doesn’t mesh with other products I am currently using.

No, I do not recommend this product.
