Mad Hippie Vitamin C Serum for Face — 1.02 fl oz, Stable Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate & Hyaluronic Acid, Low-Irritation

Mad Hippie Vitamin C Serum is a gentle, non-irritating facial serum that uses stable Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate with Vitamin E, ferulic acid, and hyaluronic acid to brighten skin and support healthy-looking tone.

This lightweight daily serum combines a stabilized vitamin C derivative with complementary antioxidants and hydration to target uneven tone and protect against everyday environmental stressors. Formulated specifically to minimize stinging and irritation, it’s aimed at people who want the brightening and antioxidant benefits of vitamin C without the sensitivity that some ascorbic acid formulas cause. The pale yellow serum absorbs quickly and layers easily with moisturizers and sunscreen.

How does this serum brighten skin without causing irritation?

Instead of ascorbic acid, the formula uses Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (SAP), a stable vitamin C form less prone to oxidation and irritation. SAP delivers antioxidant support while being suitable for acne-prone and sensitive skin. The inclusion of Vitamin E and ferulic acid helps stabilize the vitamin C and enhances antioxidant performance.

• Stable SAP reduces stinging and oxidation compared with pure L-ascorbic acid
• Complementary Vitamin E and ferulic acid boost antioxidant efficacy
• Clinically tested for minimal irritation in participants
• Light yellow, fast-absorbing texture avoids heavy residue

What hydration and texture benefits does it provide?

Hyaluronic acid in the serum helps attract and hold moisture at the skin’s surface, improving immediate feel and smoothing fine texture. The formulation is lightweight — it sinks in quickly without leaving greasiness — making it easy to layer with creams and sunscreens. Regular use supports a more hydrated, plumped appearance.

• Hyaluronic acid provides multi-depth hydration
• Non-greasy, quick-absorbing finish
• Works well under moisturizers and SPF
• Helps smooth the look of texture over time

Is this serum safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Yes — the product was developed to limit irritation and has been clinically tested with favorable tolerability. The low-irritation SAP plus gentle supporting ingredients make it a better option for those who react to stronger vitamin C forms. The formula is also free from common irritants like fragrances, parabens, and dyes.

• Clinically tested with reported minimal irritation
• Fragrance-free and free of parabens, phthalates, and dyes
• Suitable for acne-prone and sensitive complexions
• Vegan and cruelty-free certification

How should I incorporate this serum into my routine?

Apply a few drops to clean, dry skin once daily, preferably in the morning before sunscreen to maximize antioxidant protection. It layers well beneath moisturizing creams and makeup. If you’re new to vitamin C, start every other day and build up to daily use as tolerated.

• Use 1–3 drops on cleansed face and neck
• Follow with moisturizer and broad-spectrum SPF in the morning
• Introduce gradually if you have very reactive skin
• Store out of direct light to preserve stability

Who is this for: This serum suits people seeking a gentle, effective antioxidant treatment to brighten uneven tone and hydrate without the sting associated with some vitamin C products. It’s a strong fit for sensitive or acne-prone skin types, anyone preferring clean, cruelty-free formulations, and users who want a lightweight daily product that layers easily with sunscreen and other skincare essentials.
