SkinQ RX 15% Vitamin C Glow Serum Review
Candy IversonOwner & Licensed Aesthetician
The verdict
If your skin tolerates a true L-ascorbic acid and you want that fast, lit-from-within glow, this is my pick. The ferulic acid is the tell of a formula that understands vitamin C, and the hyaluronic acid solves the dry, tight feel that turns people off classic C serums. I put it at brightening rather than sensitive on purpose — it is potent. Start a few nights a week, and if you flush easily, look at the derivative serums above.

Scorecard
Overall score
8.8/10
- Efficacy9.2
- Formulation8.8
- Tolerance8.3
- Value8.7
Pros
- 15% L-ascorbic acid delivers visible brightening quickly
- Ferulic acid stabilizes and boosts the vitamin C; amla (a natural vitamin C source) adds antioxidant punch
- Sodium hyaluronate keeps it non-drying, which most L-ascorbic serums are not
- Sensible beginner directions built into the label (start 2–3x a week)
Cons
- L-ascorbic acid is the least stable form — buy fresh, store dark and cool, replace once it turns deep orange
- At an active 15% it can tingle on very reactive skin; ramp up slowly
