Vitamin C

Will the Drunk Elephant C-Firma Day Serum and B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum send me to a euphoric high?

Now, here’s a brand that’s quite a hot name in the skincare business now – Drunk Elephant. The curiously named brand that conjures up amusing images of inebriated pachyderms has fascinated me for a long time.

But I’ve always balked, because the prices are eye-watering.

So, when I spotted the Drunk Elephant Rise + Glow set, featuring minis of 2 products I’d most wanted to try from the brand, I pounced!

Although containing just 8ml of product each, it’s lasted me for 2 weeks and still counting. About enough time for me to figure out what I think of both these cult products, and whether I’ll splurge on the full sizes.

It’s no secret by now that I’m a huge huge fan of using Vitamin C serums. While I struggle with other active ingredients, Vitamin C has delivered quick and visible results that have impressed me.

Naturally therefore, any new Vitamin C serum in the market grabs my interest, and the Omorovicza Daily Vitamin C serum is no exception!

I was very fortunate to be introduced the new Omorovicza Daily Vitamin C serum at a media launch, and thereafter, to spend some time using it, before I could form an opinion.

It’s been almost 2 months that I’ve been using this Vitamin C serum exclusively (I never use Vitamin C serums alongside each other – only after I finish the previous one) so I think I’m able to now form an opinion. But more interestingly, will it be worth the money? It is very pricey!

It’s been a little while since I last talked to you about Vitamin C serums. The last one I used and featured is, I believe, the Obagi C10 serum which I absolutely loved! I used it up to the very last drop, but when the opportunity arose for me to get a new bottle, I balked.

I want to be good about using up my Vitamin C serums. I swear by them, the way some people swear by their plastic surgeon LOL! Instead of getting a new bottle of Obagi C10, I broke out one I’d been keeping for a while – the Timeless 20% Vitamin C + E + Ferulic Acid Serum.

It’s quite a mouthful, so I’ll call it the Timeless Vitamin C serum, for ease of reference. At present, Timeless Skincare only makes 1 Vitamin C serum, so it’s not that confusing 😛

I was actually very excited to try this one, because SO MANY PEOPLE have pushed it at me. “Try the Timeless Vit C, PB! You’ll love it! It’s so effective!” That’s about the gist of it.

One memorable comment from a long-time reader made me laugh. She said that it brightened her skin tone so much, she shocked herself when she looked in the mirror as she looked ethereal! LOL! I had to check out Casper for myself 😀

After I last shared with you about one of my favourite (and affordable) Vitamin C serums from Japan, we quickly saw it appear in our local pharmacies! I take no credit for it (I’m not THAT influential), but it was fortuitous! LOL!

Now, I’m hoping for another miracle to happen with the Obagi C10 Vitamin C Serum.

As you have correctly guessed, this too is another well-rated and well-performing Vitamin C serum for me. I remembered reading about it for so long that when I headed to Japan earlier this year, I only had one item on my shopping list – the Obagi Vitamin C serum.

Happily (or unhappily), this turned out to be another winner in my books! But not for the wallet as you will soon see.
