Comparing Stabilized Vitamin C (Natural-C Glycol™) Serum and Vitamin C E Ferulic (Lite)

Both the Stabilized Vitamin C (Natural-C Glycol™) Serum and Vitamin C E Ferulic (Lite) contain a 15% concentration of Vitamin C in the form of L-Ascorbic Acid, which is the most effective form for skin absorption and use.

The key differences lie in their composition and texture:

• Vitamin C E Ferulic (Lite): This serum is water-based. To maintain the stability of L-Ascorbic Acid in a water solution, it includes stabilizers such as Vitamin E and Ferulic Acid. Due to its composition, including ingredients like Laureth-23 and Hyaluronic Acid, it tends to have a stickier, more moisturizing feel. This makes it particularly suitable for individuals with dry skin or those in dry environments like air-conditioned rooms.

• Stabilized Vitamin C (Natural-C Glycol™) Serum: This serum uses a glycol base (containing Ethoxydiglycol and Butylene Glycol) and does not contain water. This formulation approach provides stability for the Vitamin C without needing the same co-stabilizers as the water-based version. It is generally less sticky compared to the CE Ferulic version. This texture is often preferred by individuals with combination, oily, or normal skin types.

Since you have both products, you can try them to see which texture and feel you prefer and which suits your skin type best. The choice between the two primarily depends on your skin's needs and your preference for serum texture.
