With its extremely high concentration of vitamin C, Red C serum is not a choice for sensitive skin. This bottle has a strong smell but is effective.
Review of Red C Tia’m serum
Just by hearing the name, you can guess a bit, right everyone? Red C serum contains up to 20% vitamin C. This content is quite high, but the reason why it is popular and widely used, let’s slowly decode in the article below. The uses and how to use this serum will be noted below. Oh, and to reveal, the full name of the product is My Signature Red C by TIA’M.
First, let’s talk a little about the brand. TIA’M is a Korean brand, obviously not a familiar name to Vietnamese fashionistas. It is rated quite well on Korean e-commerce platforms. The most famous skincare lines are vita B3 and this Red C serum bottle.
This bottle was honored with the Best Award for two consecutive years. But I have searched endlessly but do not know who organized this award or what it is. The company said it was the Best Award 2013, 2014. If anyone has any information, please let me know below.
About the cover, the red hard cover design is eye-catching. The cover is printed with enough information about the ingredients and product quality. Inside is a dark glass bottle to hold the orange-red serum bottle. The dark bottle has the effect of preventing oxidation for the product. This is also a dropper to get the serum. The amount of serum is regulated just enough.
The most prominent of these is vitamin C 20%. Next are vitamin B12 and Glutathione. The three key ingredients that create the effects of this serum bottle. First, vitamin B12 is what creates the orange-red color in the bottle, its effect is to nourish, regenerate cells, and restore damaged skin. Next is vitamin C extract, specifically Ethyl Ascorbyl Ether.
The effect is of course to fade dark spots, freckles, make the skin elastic, bright white and anti-aging clearly. This product has moisturizing glycerin, glutathione to prevent melanin production on the skin. In addition, there is Niacinamide, Panthenol, chamomile extract, orange peel oil… This product has Glutathione so it is a high antioxidant.
Feelings about Red C serum
I find this essence liquid and absorbs quickly. It takes vitamin C from 200 tangerines, which is a high concentration, right? Because my skin is quite “tough”, I have tried many types of vitamin C so I have not had any strong reactions. However, those who have never used vitamin C before or have very sensitive skin should be careful because it can cause stinging or acne.
It also takes time to get used to this ingredient. Obviously, Red C serum is not the choice for all skin types. You have to be careful when using it if you don’t want to experience irritation.
However, if you want to treat dark spots, you can consider it.
Scent of Red C serum
I find the scent quite strong. This bottle feels like fermented lemon and orange. The scent does not fade quickly but is quite persistent. Those of you who are a bit sensitive to scented cosmetics should be especially careful when using it. Even though it has a scent, when applied, it feels cool, soft, and comfortable on the skin. I am afraid that the orange-red color will make my face change color and look funny.
If you ask if you should buy Red C serum, I think you can consider using it. This product is effective in brightening the skin. If you use vitamin C, you should apply sunscreen afterwards because vitamin C will help the sun protection effect to be fully utilized. You should use this product in the morning. Its price of about 450k is worth considering.
