Vitamin C Serums: Clean Beauty Comparison
When it comes to targeted skin serums, the beauty world can feel like a jungle. Big brands promise plump, bright skin. Clean beauty brands promise gentler, low-tox formulas. And you’re left wondering which bottle actually deserves a spot on your bathroom shelf.
So let’s break it down.
Today we’re comparing three serums:
La Roche-Posay Pure Vitamin C12
Glo Younger Vital C Serum
Glo Younger Collagen Serum
Because glowing skin should never come with confusion. Or compromise.
Let’s start with the benefits. Do they target the same things?
Short answer. Kind of. But not really.
La Roche-Posay Vitamin C12
Derm-lab vibes. Strong, punchy vitamin C. Added salicylic acid for texture. Targets radiance, fine lines and uneven skin tone.
Perfect if you want results fast and you don’t mind a formula with a few synthetics.
Strong clinical actives but also contains alcohol, PEGs, synthetic fragrance and silicones.
Safe. Regulated. Derm-approved.
But not what we’d call low tox or minimalist.
Glo Younger Vital C
Gentle but effective. A 10% vitamin C blend using Kakadu Plum, Rosehip and stable vitamin C.
Brightens, nourishes and supports collagen. Perfect for sensitive, glow-hungry skin that prefers plants over chemicals.
Plant based. Botanical extracts. Natural ferments. Palm free glycerine.
No synthetic fragrance. No PEGs. No silicones. No alcohol.
Only watch point is the natural citrus oil for anyone extremely sensitive.
Glo Younger Collagen Serum
Hydrates, plumps and supports your collagen network with hyaluronic acid, seaweed-derived collagen and 5 percent vitamin C for added brightness and antioxidant protection.
A gorgeous pick for dry or mature skin that wants extra bounce with a side of glow support.
Different goals. Different stories. Same endgame. Youthful, radiant skin.
The cleanest of the trio.
Just hyaluronic acid, plant collagen, vitamin C and natural ferments.
Minimalist. Potent. Safe for even the fussiest skin barriers.
When we say low tox, we mean it.
So which option is ‘better’?
Let’s keep it real.
La Roche-Posay is a brilliant brand for derm-driven results.
Glo Younger is the brand for women who want results without unnecessary synthetics.
It’s not about one beating the other.
It’s about choosing the formula that aligns with your values, your skin and your lifestyle.
If you want plant based, mindful, low tox and gentle on your barrier, you’ll love the Glo Younger approach.
If you want the strongest vitamin C hit with a bit of grit, LRP might feel like home.
You get to choose your glow adventure.
