When it comes to taking extra vitamin tablets to support my immune system, I suck, I remember to take something for about 10 days maximum and then it is as though those tablets never even existed, even medication if I am honest. So when it comes to ensuring my skin gets enough Vitamin C, I am thankful that we have brands such as Omorovicza who create amazing products that oddly, I don't forget to use such as the Queen of Hungary Mist which I absolutely adore.! The latest addition to the brand's arsenal of products is the Omorovicza Daily Vitamin C (£87) and it provides essential daily protection against environmental aggressors while stimulating the production of collagen.
Vitamin C has been an ingredient that I have seen promoted all over my social media channels for most of the latter part of 2018 and into 2019. Gone are the days when we all used to over-do it to ward off a cold, now it is up there with the likes of retinol, ceramides, and resveratrol when it comes to anti-ageing, but it doesn't stop there. If your skin is looking a little fatigued and dull, vitamin C plays a role that will help recover your skin's long-lost radiance
I adore Omorovicza as a brand and only a few days ago featured their brand new scalp mask, which is an absolute treat to use. The Vitamin C product is best described as being a milky serum and I really like how it feels on the skin. Described by Omorovicza to:
Brighten and protect with a daily dose of vitamin C. Capturing the power of a highly stable and potent form of this antioxidant-rich vitamin, this milky serum provides essential daily protection against environmental aggressors, whilst stimulating the production of collagen for a more youthful-looking complexion. Dull, lifeless skin is revived, and skin appears even and luminous.
So what it does is give you a daily dose of the antioxidant-rich Vitamin in two forms - Kiwiberry and Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate and they work alongside a whole host of other ingredients which come together to protect and revive the skin, those ingredients being:
- Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, a highly stable form of Vitamin C, dramatically fights signs of ageing and prevents the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating the production of collagen and protecting against environmental damage. It also helps promote an even skin tone and reduces the appearance of dark spots.
- An innovative complex of Watercress Extract, Zinc and Niacinamide work to inhibit the production of melanin, reducing pigmentation and correcting skin tone for a brighter, more even complexion.
- Antioxidant-rich Kiwberry, a naturally potent source of Vitamin C, further protects skin cells from oxidative stress and skin photo-ageing. By stimulating cells’ natural energy, this extract also helps prolong the healthy life of skin and protect its DNA.
- Hyaluronic Acid delivers moisture and increases moisture retention for skin that is left feeling soft to touch.
- Omorovicza’s patented Healing Concentrate™ leaves skin firmer, more supple and younger-looking.
The serum should be used on a cleansed and toned face and you really only need a small amount to really make an impact, the old adage less is more is a perfect description. I love that it comes with a dropper system to make that application a much easier and less messy process.

As you can see, the serum has a milky look to it having used a few Vitamin C products over the past year, I was expecting to find this one to have a sticky after-feel to it, but it doesn't at all, it acts like any other serum I have used in so much that it absorbs into the skin without leaving any residue but it does so really quickly and effortlessly. You literally need 2-3 drops for your face, neck and if you so wish your decolletage. There is a really light fresh scent with this serum which I actually really like, it isn't too overpowering and it doesn't linger on the skin.
I think this is a product you need to be using long term to reap all the benefits, it definitely isn't and nor does it promise to be a quick fix. It definitely helps with retaining moisture and brightening and I am looking forward to seeing what it does with reducing pigmentation.
