Power-Brightening Pure Vitamin C Serum. #HIGH-CONCENTRATION #Brightening #PUREVITAMINC

COSRX’s Advanced The Vitamin C 23 Serum features a high strength 23% pure vitamin C with Super Vitamin E and Glutathione to target uneven skin tone, early signs of aging, and dullness. It helps resurface dull areas, reduce the appearance pores, and leave skin smoother and more even-looking.

Providing a powerful brightening care, it is ideal for experienced vitamin C users seeking visible brightening and firmer skin, it absorbs smoothly to leave the complexion more radiant, supple, and revitalised.

Formulated with Pure Vitamin C 23%
(High-concentration) that provides radiance and lights up skin tone, Super Vitamin E (Tocotrienol) and Glutathione working together to revitalise the skin with powerful antioxidant care, and Adenosine and Niacinamide boosting firmness and brighten the complexion. Vitamin C helps support collagen, while Adenosine boosts this effect for enhanced resilience. This high-strength formula stays fresh, absorbs smoothly, and delivers visible brightening and texture improvement without irritation even for sensitive skin. 

What makes COSRX Advanced The Vitamin C 23 Serum different from other Korean Vitamin C serums? COSRX Advanced The Vitamin C 23 Serum is formulated with a powerful antioxidant network featuring 23% pure Vitamin C, Super Vitamin E (Tocotrienol), and Glutathione. Based on research, this blend helps stabilise inherently unstable pure Vitamin C, allowing it to be delivered gently and effectively to the skin, making it more comfortable to use compared to many traditional Vitamin C serums.

It has layers of oil + serum and leaves a smooth finish. The formula is non-comedogenic and works gently on all skin types. The dual-layer structure combines antioxidant power with soothing hydration from Panthenol and Allantoin, helping repair the skin barrier while minimising redness or stinging.

Perfect for those already familiar with Vitamin C who want upgrade to a high potency formula for faster and more visible results.

It has a strange smell. Is this normal? This serum does not contain fragrances. However, the vitamin C, by nature, has a certain smell that does not affect the potency of the product.

With COSRX's advanced technology, it uses a specialised packaging that keeps vitamin C fresher: 1) Special Cap that controls gas released during vitamin C filling, 2) Special Container that prevents oxidation by blocking light, heat, and external air from entering, and 3) a Dropper that is indivually packaged for a more hygienic use.

Please see link for FAQs about the CORSRX Vitamin C 23 Serum here.

HOW TO USE

  1. After cleansing and toning, apply 2–3 drops to the entire face.
  2. Replace the cap with the provided dropper after opening, shake lightly, and apply a few drops to clean, toned skin. 
  3. Pat gently for better absorption.
  4. Follow with moisturiser and SPF during the day.
Avoid mixing with retinol or acids in the same routine.
  5. Requires care (storage, usage) due to high potency. Keep the serum refrigerated between 3–10°C to maintain freshness. (see product photos on precautions on how to handle and store vitamin C products).

        Cosrx Vit C 23%

        Unfortunately, this product is not suitable for a sensitive skin, despite being recommended for it. I am 49 years old and I am used to high concentrations of Vit C. Despite that I introduced it very cautiously, my skin still developed redness and rashes. I noticed that the formula contains alcohol. Then I came across to some dermatologists reviews that mention similar concerns.

        Good serum

        I like this product a lot - hight concentration of vitamin C for a good price and amount of product. Doesn't smell amazing but I don't mind. My only issue with this product is that it oxydates before I finish using it, and I had a few bottles of this serum. Every time when I had it, the serum changed the colour which probably means no more benefits of the vitamin C.

        Nice product

        As Vitamin C serums go, this is quite a nice one. Not too viscous, though it does have an odd smell which dissipates after a few seconds. Bottle is dark so no oxidation before you're done with the product. Absorbs nicely into the skin, I have definitely noticed my tone evening out more in the last weeks.

        Hi Celine, thank you for your review and we're glad you loved the COSRX Vit C serum :) The scent you mentioned is the natural smell of ascorbic acid/Vit C serums as the serum does not include any artificial fragrance. The scent is also the same as the Hanskin Vit C serum and Jumiso Vit C serum, for example :)

        This is my second bottle. Love it, even better than paula's choice and drunk elephant. No weird smells, no sticky texture. It's perfect and the bottle is completely dark and opaque which keeps the vitamin c serum for longer (exposure to light makes it go bad quickly). I keep mine in the fridge so it's nice and refreshing + gives it a longer life.
