Vitamin C Serum

Why Doria Chose It

Selfnamed's Vitamin C Energising Booster takes a refreshingly measured approach to antioxidant skincare. Rather than chasing high percentages that can irritate, this serum pairs 2% natural vitamin C with 1% ferulic acid—a combination that maximizes stability and efficacy without overwhelming the skin. The inclusion of sea-buckthorn oil, rich in omega-7 fatty acids, sets it apart from typical water-based vitamin C formulas, offering both protection and deep nourishment in one elegant step.

The Doria Verdict

"This is vitamin C for those who've been burned by overly aggressive formulations. The lightweight texture absorbs beautifully without pilling under makeup, while the ferulic acid and sea-buckthorn create a protective veil against urban pollutants and UV damage. At under $30, it delivers the luminosity of serums twice its price—reach for it every morning as your first line of defense. A rare find that proves potency doesn't require a painful price tag or irritated skin."
