Amazon Basics Vitamin C Serum with Hyaluronic Acid, 1 fl oz — Brightening, Lightweight Hydration

Amazon Basics Brightening Vitamin C Serum is a lightweight daily serum that combines vitamin C and hyaluronic acid to help even skin tone and replenish moisture.

This 1 fl oz serum blends stabilized vitamin C with hyaluronic acid and plant extracts — rosemary, grapefruit, and cucumber — into a fragrance-free formula designed for everyday use. It’s formulated to layer under moisturizers and makeup, absorbs quickly, and offers routine-friendly application with 2–3 drops morning and night. The formula also contains polyhydroxy acids (PHAs) for gentle surface exfoliation without added scent.

How will this serum fit into my morning and evening routine?

Use 2–3 drops on clean skin after cleansing and before heavier creams or sunscreen. In the morning it primes skin for SPF and makeup; at night it supports skin renewal while you sleep. Because it’s fragrance-free, it’s easy to layer without interfering with other products.

• Apply to damp or dry skin after cleansing and toning
• Follow with moisturizer and sunscreen in the morning
• Use nightly under your preferred night cream

What are the key ingredients and what do they do?

The serum centers on vitamin C (an antioxidant) and hyaluronic acid (a humectant) complemented by rosemary, grapefruit, and cucumber extracts. PHAs provide mild exfoliation while remaining gentle on sensitive skin types. The fragrance-free formulation minimizes irritation potential for those avoiding added scent.

• Vitamin C: antioxidant support for a more uniform look
• Hyaluronic acid: helps retain skin moisture for plumper feel
• PHAs: gentle surface exfoliation to promote smoother texture
• Botanical extracts: soothing and skin-conditioning support

How should I expect this serum to perform and feel?

It absorbs quickly into skin without leaving heavy residue and delivers lightweight hydration. Regular, consistent use can help improve skin brightness and texture appearance while keeping skin comfortable. Results vary by user and depend on overall skincare routine and environment.

• Light, non-greasy finish for daytime wear
• Suitable under makeup without pilling
• Gentle enough for many skin types when used as directed

Are there any use tips or compatibility notes I should know?

Start by using once daily if you have sensitive skin and increase to twice daily as tolerated. Always follow with broad-spectrum sunscreen in daytime to protect skin after exfoliating ingredients. If combining with other actives, patch-test first to assess tolerance.

• Patch test before full-face application if prone to sensitivity
• Use sunscreen each morning after application
• Avoid mixing with high-strength retinoids at the same time without guidance

Who is this for? This serum is aimed at anyone seeking everyday hydration and a brighter, more even-looking complexion without added fragrance — suitable for first-time vitamin C users and those who prefer a simple, layered routine. It’s packaged as a 1 fluid ounce bottle, convenient for trial or travel, and integrates easily into morning and evening regimens for people wanting lightweight antioxidant support alongside moisturizing benefits.
