Top Vitamin C Products That Actually Work and Why

Why Vitamin C Deserves a Spot in Your Skincare Routine

Vitamin C is one of the most well-researched and dermatologist-recommended ingredients in skincare - and for good reason. As a powerful antioxidant, it protects your skin from environmental stressors like pollution and UV damage, while also supporting collagen production, fading dark spots and brightening dull complexions.

The result? Smoother, firmer, more radiant skin with consistent use.

But not all Vitamin C products are created equal. Depending on your skin goals, you might benefit from:

  • Serums: Lightweight, fast-absorbing and ideal for targeted treatment. Perfect for morning use under SPF.

  • Creams: Offer hydration along with antioxidant benefits. Great for dry or mature skin types.

  • Boosters or Ampoules: High-potency treatments designed to be mixed into your routine for an extra brightening kick.

  • Sunscreens: Combining Vitamin C with daily sun protection amplifies both your antioxidant defense and your glow.

At Nomad Routines, we focus on clean, minimal formulations that prioritize skin health and simplicity. Below is our curated selection of Vitamin C-powered products - each designed to deliver results without complicating your regimen.

This is your go-to daily brightener. Our Vitamin C Serum features 2% natural Vitamin C, Ferulic Acid and Sea-Buckthorn to fight dullness, fade pigmentation, and restore skin vitality. The lightweight texture makes it perfect for layering and daily use - even for sensitive skin.
