Hello, beautiful people, and welcome back to my corner of the web! Today, we’re going to be talking all about skincare.

Now, if you’ve followed me for a while, you may remember my years-long battle with acne. I tried acne-specific skincare, diets, antibiotics, DIY solutions, and more – until eventually Roaccutane came and fixed my face. (Thank you, our Lord and savior science, for that miracle drug.)

My experience with having skin I truly hated, however, has given me nothing but appreciation for the skin I have. And the drive to improve/maintain it.

Now, there are a few “miracle skincare ingredients” floating around that every beauty junkie will be familiar with. (Retinol being one I swear by!) However, one that I’d never managed to wrap my head around was vitamin c.

My trusty The Ordinary’s vitamin C product did nothing but sting my face and give me trust issues.

Well, I’ve cracked it. Or, more accurately, Klairs have cracked it. So join me for my Klairs Vitamin C Serum review – and I’ll tell you all about how it’s earned a spot on my “auto-repurchase” list.

DOES IT LIVE UP TO THAT?

Definitely. This serum is amazing and it has a visible effect on my face. (Which is what we’re all after, right?) As always with my reviews, I decided to list some of the benefits that I’ve found so far:

THE BENEFITS OF KLAIRS FRESHLY JUICED VITAMIN C SERUM:

The price point. While not on The Ordinary’s level of cheap, this is still a very affordable serum. It costs $23 for 35 ml and comes with a pipette, so you really only use a little at a time.
It’s really gentle. At only a 5% Vitamin C concentration, this is gentle enough for newbies or those with sensitive skin – but still wonderfully effective.
Pores are visibly shrunk. Pores aren’t something I think about too much because . . . well, they’re not acne. And that’s really all I care about. That being said, my pores have all-but disappeared.
Great at reducing discolouration. If you’ve followed me for a while, you may remember when I shared my top products for fading acne scarring. Well, we have another addition to that list! Since using this serum, my discolouration has disappeared even more and I would just like to say a big thank you.
Skin looks brighter when you use it! This is definitely a serum that you can see working on your face. Even at the end of a long day in front of a screen, my face still looks bright and happy if I’ve worn this bad boy.
It doesn’t trigger my acne. This is one of the most important things I look for when I’m testing a new product – I didn’t even get a bump of irritation!
Klairs are a cruelty free brand and this product is vegan! Which we love. Around 80% of Klairs’ current products are vegan, so you do have to check individually; however, I’m pleased to announce their vitamin c serum is!
The serum is formulated without nasties. It’s free of animal-derived ingredients, ethanol, silicones, artificial dyes and artificial fragrances.

That’s a pretty long benefit list! As I’m sure you can tell, I’m a big fan of this serum and cannot recommend it enough. It’s definitely earned a spot on my auto-buy list.
