I wasn't a serum user and always wondered if these type of 'lotions' actually benefit the skin or are simply terms used for marketing things to the consumer. But when I tried out the OFRA B5 serum (reviewed HERE) I really liked what it did to my skin. That was when I first read up about serums seriously and realized what I had been missing.

What are the benefits of Vitamin C
When I got to try out the OST Vitamin C20 Serum I first did a bit of research on what Vitamin C does to your skin and how it works. So first let me share with you my findings
- Vitamin C prevents oxidization of skin (for proof you can apply vitamin C to a slice of an apple and you will notice it does not oxidize like a regular slice does - vitamin C acts like a barrier) - it does the similar thing to your skin - and hence prevents aging.
- Vitamin C is listed as Ascorbic Acid in skin care products. To make direct application gentle for the skin it is usually mixed with glycerin.
