Mad Hippie Vitamin C Serum — Stable Vitamin C for Sensitive Skin, 1.02 fl oz, Brightening & Hydrating

Mad Hippie Vitamin C Serum is a lightweight, stable vitamin C treatment that brightens skin and hydrates without the stinging or oxidation common to other formulas.

This serum combines a stable form of vitamin C (sodium ascorbyl phosphate) with vitamin E, ferulic acid, and hyaluronic acid to deliver antioxidant protection, visible brightening, and renewed skin texture. The formula is designed to be gentle on sensitive and acne-prone skin, avoids known irritants, and absorbs quickly into skin thanks to its lightweight base and naturally yellow tint.

How does this serum brighten skin without irritation?

The formula uses sodium ascorbyl phosphate, a stable vitamin C derivative that resists oxidation and is less likely to cause stinging than ascorbic acid. When combined with vitamin E and ferulic acid, it provides complementary antioxidant support that helps reduce the look of discoloration while promoting a more even tone.

• Sodium ascorbyl phosphate: stable, non-stinging vitamin C
• Vitamin E: supports antioxidant action and skin barrier health
• Ferulic acid: boosts antioxidant potency and stability
• Proven results: clinical testing showed high rates of brighter-looking skin

Will this serum work for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

This serum was developed specifically to minimize irritation: clinical testing reported zero participants experiencing irritation. The gentle vitamin C derivative and absence of fragrances, dyes, and common harsh additives make it a solid option for those with reactive or blemish-prone skin.

• 0% irritation reported in clinical testing
• Free from perfumes, dyes, parabens, phthalates, SLS, and PEGs
• Non-comedogenic-friendly lightweight texture
• Vegan and cruelty-free formulation

How should I add this serum into my routine for best results?

Use after cleansing and toning, applying a few drops to face and neck once or twice daily depending on your skin’s tolerance. Follow with moisturizer and sunscreen in the morning; at night it pairs well with your usual hydration step to support texture improvement and brightness over time.

• Apply to clean skin morning or night
• Pat a few drops across face and neck; allow to absorb
• Use sunscreen during daytime to protect results
• Consistent daily use yields more noticeable brightening

What else is notable about the formula and packaging?

The serum contains hyaluronic acid for immediate hydration and a lightweight delivery that sinks in quickly. Ingredients are ethically sourced and the brand emphasizes clean, non-toxic formulations; the bottle size is a convenient 1.02 fl oz for daily use and travel-friendly routines.

• Hyaluronic acid adds hydration and plumping effect

Who is this for: Ideal for people seeking a gentler vitamin C option that still delivers brightening and antioxidant benefits—especially those with sensitive, acne-prone, or reactive skin who want a non-irritating daily treatment. It’s also a good pick for anyone wanting a clean, cruelty-free formula that layers easily into existing skincare routines.
