Maelove Vitamin C Serum
Updated Nov 8, 2026 · Top Vitamin C Serum for face
Best for A fresh ascorbic-acid serum if the Timeless pump on Amazon is the old plastic one.
Maelove's vitamin C serum, built on L-ascorbic acid with vitamin E, ferulic acid, and hyaluronic acid. In Chemist Confessions' three-week heat test it started clear, which is what a fresh ascorbic-acid serum should look like, and it yellowed with the rest of the group by week three. That yellowing is the ingredient oxidizing. The test was short, three weeks in heat, not a two-year shelf study. Buy it from a seller with fast turnover. If the bottle is already amber, the vitamin C is partly gone. It can tingle. Buffer it with moisturizer if your skin is sensitive.
