Vitamin C for sensitive skin

My current vitamin c is coming to an end and I want to change it as not noticing any difference. Looking for recommendations especially with sensitive skin. Thanks!

The only I haven’t reacted to so far is the Lumene one. All others I’ve tried have made me really itchy and given me cystic spots

Skin Ceuticals

Cera-Ve Vitamin C serum is lovely and doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin

If you have redness then trinny London naked ambition is great. I struggle with vit C but can use that one daily or twice daily

Sensitive skin usually does better with gentler vitamin C derivatives rather than very strong pure ascorbic acid formulas. Look for ingredients like "sodium ascorbyl phosphate, ascorbyl glucoside, or tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate" since they’re generally less stingy and more stable. It also helps if the formula includes calming ingredients alongside it like "panthenol, centella, allantoin, or ceramides".

Edit: I just suggested ingredients so yo u have more options across various price points.

I have sensitive skin but get along with sunday riley serum and kat burki moisturizer

Thank you. I’ve been doing so much googling and you think you’ve found one, and then read reviews and then I start doubting it by a few negative ones 🤦🏻‍♀️
