The passionate team behind Australia's trusted Vitamin C skincare resource
Vitamin C Serum Australia was founded in 2023 by a group of skincare enthusiasts who shared a common frustration: finding reliable, science-backed information about Vitamin C skincare products in the Australian market was surprisingly difficult. Between conflicting advice, sponsored content, and marketing hype, understanding which products actually delivered results felt nearly impossible.
Our founding team includes dermatology researchers, cosmetic chemists, and skincare journalists who have spent years studying the science of topical antioxidants. We understand the complexities of L-Ascorbic Acid stability, the differences between various Vitamin C derivatives like Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate and Ascorbyl Glucoside, and why formulation pH matters just as much as concentration percentages.
What started as a passion project has grown into Australia's most comprehensive resource for Vitamin C skincare education. We've tested dozens of serums, analysed countless ingredient lists, and consulted with dermatologists across Australia to bring you information you can trust. Our team has first-hand experience with everything from the oxidation challenges of pure L-Ascorbic Acid to the gentle efficacy of stabilised derivatives for sensitive skin types.
We believe that everyone deserves access to clear, honest skincare information. The beauty industry is filled with exaggerated claims and confusing jargon. Our mission is to cut through the noise and provide Australians with evidence-based guidance that actually helps them achieve healthier, brighter skin.
We're particularly focused on the unique challenges faced by Australian consumers. Our harsh UV environment means sun protection and antioxidant use are more critical here than almost anywhere else in the world. We understand the importance of combining Vitamin C with proper SPF protection, and we factor in Australian pricing, availability, and climate considerations in all our recommendations.
