Hello Lykkers! Some days I just stand in front of my mirror thinking, “I don’t need more products, I just want my skin to look a bit more awake.”

That’s really how Vitamin C became part of my routine. Not because it’s trendy, but because I like how it slowly brings things back into balance without making a big fuss.

Recently I used two serums that people keep talking about, so I tried them myself in a very casual, real-life way—no strict routine, just fitting them into my days and noticing how my skin reacts.

1. Mediheal Vitamin C Brightening Serum

This one feels light from the first touch. I didn’t have that “wow” moment instantly, but I actually prefer that. It blends in easily, doesn’t sit heavy, and I can just move on with my routine without thinking about it. After a few days, I started noticing my skin looking a bit more even when I caught myself in natural light. Nothing dramatic, just less tired-looking.

It’s the kind of serum I reach for when I don’t want to think too much—just apply and go. For me, it feels like a calm everyday step, nothing complicated, nothing loud.

2. La Roche-Posay Pure Vitamin C12 Serum

This one has a slightly stronger feel. The texture is still comfortable, but I could tell it’s more concentrated. When I used it, it felt like it had a clearer “purpose” compared to the first one. I usually lean toward using this at night. The next morning, my skin looks a bit more fresh, like it had better rest than I did.

Over time, I noticed my skin tone looking a little more refined, especially around dull areas. It’s not harsh, just more direct. Like it’s doing a bit more work in the background.

Honestly, I stopped thinking in terms of which one is better. It became more about how I feel that day. If I want something easy and low effort, I go for Mediheal. If I feel like my skin needs a bit more attention, I reach for La Roche-Posay. They don’t really compete in my routine. They just serve different moods, different days.

Vitamin C for me isn’t about chasing perfect skin. It’s more like keeping things steady, so my skin looks like it’s been taken care of—even when life feels a bit all over the place.
