With extremely high concentrations of vitamin C, Red C serum is not a choice for sensitive skin. This bottle smells strong but works well.
Review of Red C Tia’m serum
Just by hearing the name, you can already guess something, right? Regarding Red C serum, it contains up to 20% vitamin C. This content is quite high, but the reason why it is so popular and commonly used, let’s decode it slowly in the article below. The uses and usage of this serum will be noted below. By the way, the full name of the product is My Signature Red C from TIA’M.
First, let’s talk a little about the brand. TIA’M is a Korean brand, clearly not a familiar name to Vietnamese music fans. This product is rated quite well on Korean e-commerce platforms. The most famous skincare line is vita B3 and this bottle of Red C serum.
In particular, this bottle was honored with the Best Award for two consecutive years. But I couldn’t find out who organized this tournament or what it was. Seeing that the company said it was Best Award 2013, 2014, if anyone has any information, please let me know below.
Regarding the cover, the red hardcover design is eye-catching. The packaging has all the ingredient information and product quality printed on it. Inside is a dark glass bottle to hold the orange-red serum bottle. Dark colored bottles help prevent oxidation of the product. This one is also a dropper tube to take serum. The amount of serum is regulated just enough.
About the ingredients of Red C serum
The highlight of this product is the vitamin C 20%. Then there are vitamin B12 and Glutathione. 3 key ingredients create the effects of this serum bottle. First, vitamin B12 is what creates the red-orange color in the bottle, its effect is to nourish, regenerate cells, and restore skin after damage. Next comes the vitamin C extract, specifically Ethyl Ascorbyl Ether.
The effect is of course to fade melasma and freckles, make the skin elastic, bright white and clearly anti-aging. This product has moisturizing glycerin and glutathione to prevent melanin production on the skin. In addition, there are Niacinamide, Panthenol, chrysanthemum extract, orange peel oil… This product has Glutathione so it is highly anti-oxidant.
Feeling about Red C serum
I find this essence liquid and absorbs quickly. She took vitamin C from 200 tangerines, looks like the concentration is high, right? Because my skin is quite “tough”, I have tried many types of vitamin C so I haven’t had any strong reactions. However, those who have never used vitamin C or whose skin is too sensitive should be careful as they may sting or get pimples.
You also need time to get used to this ingredient. Obviously Red C serum is not an option for all skin types. You must be careful when using it if you do not want to experience irritation.
However, if you want to treat dark spots, you can consider it.
The scent of Red C serum
I find the smell quite strong. This bottle feels like fermented lemon orange. The smell doesn’t go away quickly but sticks around quite persistently. Women who have sensitive skin to scented cosmetics should be especially careful when using them. Even though it has a smell, once applied it feels cool, soft, and comfortable on the skin. I’m so afraid that the orange-red color will change my face and look funny.
Asked if I should buy Red C serum, I think I can consider using it. This product has skin brightening effects. If you use vitamin C, you should apply sunscreen afterward because vitamin C will help the anti-aging effect to be fully effective. You should use this in the morning. With its price of about 450k, you can consider using it a lot.
