If looking for an affordable serum that protects, brightens and repairs skin the Yeouth Vitamin C & E Serum is worth considering

I picked up the Yeouth Vitamin C & E Serum on iHerb without knowing too much about it. It was one of those purchases on a whim, if you may.

It was pretty affordable, and I’m always curious about a new Vitamin C serum. But primarily, it was affordable, and as much as I love my luxury skincare products, I too love a good budget find! 😀

Incidentally, I’ve been approached by Yeouth to ‘review’ their products, for which they offered me credit to purchase on iHerb, and then post a review of it. I declined the offer as it was far too much trouble than it was worth. The products aren’t very expensive, and I had already purchased them anyway. However, this has resulted in my viewing online and Instagram reviews of Yeouth products with a jaundiced eye. Most people will not disclose this fact of ‘sponsorship’ and while I have nothing against it, I do think it is appropriate to disclose it for transparency, so readers are able to better evaluate your review.

And now, on to what I think of the Yeouth Vitamin C & E Serum 🙂

Don’t be bitter, the Bitter Orange Mamonde Vital Vitamin Cream is really good!

I’ve been digging around in my skincare cupboard stash lately, and I’m loving the stuff I’m finding! I’m like “Why haven’t I used/discovered this before?!”

Well, it’s because I was always so fickle before haha! Serves me right!

One of the things I picked up, and refused to put down, fairly recently, is the Mamonde Vital Vitamin Cream with Bitter Orange.

Mamonde is a brand I’ve come to enjoy using, as their products seem to suit me and my skin. The best part of course, is that it’s pretty affordable, albeit a little basic, but hey, sometimes, that’s all we really need 🙂

So what sold me on this Mamonde Vital Vitamin Cream?

The Skinlex 2% Alpha-Arbutin Serum did an impressive job at lightening my hyperpigmentation and I’m pretty amazed!

I’m not sure how I came about the Skinlex 2% Alpha-Arbutin Serum. It’s not a brand I’m familiar with, nor an ingredient I’m used to using.

Yet, one day while browsing Worthee Cosmetics, I conveniently added it to my shopping basket, ordered it, and promptly forgot about it.

Until now.

I took it out to use, but there was something about it that didn’t sit well with me, so it was a product I wasn’t very regular with. And then, we went into lockdown, and I went on a mission to use up my skincare.

And when I ran out of my most recent Vitamin C serum, I decided to use the Skinlex 2% Alpha-Arbutin Serum up, before hopping along to a new Vitamin C serum.

Well, let’s just say that I’m pretty impressed by this nondescript little bottle! 😀

The lightweight Melano CC Vitamin C Brightening Gel is very affordable and comfortable on skin

I remember the fuss we all made over the Melano CC Anti-Spot Essence when I first wrote about it. It wasn’t available then, but became available locally not long after. As much as I’d like to take credit for that, I’m sure it wasn’t me who did it haha!

Since arriving on our shores, there have been more products added to the Melano CC brand, and I was offered the opportunity to try the Melano CC Vitamin C Brightening Gel.

Of course, I said yes 😛 I love anything with Vitamin C remember?
