Vichy LiftActiv 15% Vitamin C Serum
Updated Nov 8, 2026 · Top Vitamin C Serum for face
Best for A printed 15 percent vitamin C when you want a short French-pharmacy bottle.
Vichy LiftActiv serum labeled 15 percent pure vitamin C, in a 0.67 oz bottle. The small size is the point: ascorbic acid dies after opening, so a short bottle is easier to finish while it is still pale. It was not in the three-week heat test. A 15 percent dose sits under Timeless at 20 percent and above L'Oreal at 10 percent, if the liquid is fresh. If it arrives brown, it is not 15 percent anymore. Use it in the morning and put sunscreen on top.
