Reviva Labs Ultra-Potency Vitamin C+ Antioxidant Serum
Vitamin C serums are among my favorites for brightening my skin and continuing to try to fade my dark spots. But somehow, I had gotten away from them over the past several months. I was very excited to receive Reviva Labs Ultra-Potency Vitamin C+ Antioxidant Serum several weeks ago to try out.
Now that Spring is officially here and I’m spending more time outdoors, Reviva Labs Ultra-Potency Vitamin C+ Antioxidant Serum arrived at just the right time. It provides comprehensive broad-spectrum protection against the widest range of free radicals including the nitrogen-based free radicals that pollution makes. I wish I had had this when I lived in New York City! You definitely want to use Reviva Labs Ultra-Potency Vitamin C+ Anitoxidant Serum during the daytime under moisturizer or sunscreen because that’s when it does some of its key work. I was surprised to find out that even sunscreen, that focuses on oxygen free radicals created by the sun, doesn’t provide protection against free radicals from nitrogen pollution. When I jog, I often jog along one of the major roads in my town and there’s a lot of soot and particulates that come from traffic exhaust. I’m glad to know that Reviva Labs Vitamin C+ Serum with EMBLICA is helping protect my skin from that kind of free radicals as well as those from the sun. Free radicals damage skin and make it look older. Glad to have a new weapon against free radicals in my arsenal!
The Vitamin C+ Antioxidant Serum is made with vitamin C ester or magnesium ascorbic phosphate that is more protective of the skin cell than regular vitamin C because it is fat soluble rather than just water soluble, protecting the fatty skin cell wall as well as the interior of the cell.
And the serum is made with a number of important ingredients in addition to vitamin C. It contains:
- EMBLICA: derived from the Indian Gooseberry plant, it neutralizes pollution’s nitrogen free radicals; also fights skin discoloration, wrinkles and collagen loss (I certainly need help with those issues as well)
- Vitamin E and COQ10 to neutralize oxygen free radicals
- Hyaluronic Acid: my favorite ingredient to help skin maintain moisture
- Retinyl Palmitate and Allantoin: to smooth skin.
Importantly, Reviva Labs Ultra-Potency Vitamin C+ Antioxidant Serum comes in an airless pump. Vitamin C in high doses can become unstable and lose potency if it’s exposed to air. Often vitamin C serums that I used in the past come with a dropper. I had no idea that each time I opened the bottle to remove the dropper, I was degrading the ingredients! Reviva Labs airless pump protects the ingredients and the serum from air, light and bacteria so it can work as well as possible.
Reviva Labs Ultra-Potency Vitamin C+ Antioxidant Serum with EMBLICA is a lightweight but hydrating cream. I use it primarily during the day to protect against broad-spectrum free radicals, though I sometimes use it at night to repair my skin. I wear it as a serum under my moisturizer, but in the summer, I may wear it with sunscreen because it feels so hydrating even on its own. It’s an off-white, scent-free cream that disappears quickly into my skin helping it feel smooth, hydrated and protected. It’s created to work with all skin types including sensitive skin and skin with blemishes. And it’s gender-neutral. Men can certainly use it as well.
The bottle of Reviva Labs Ultra-Potency Vitamin C+ Antioxidant Serum with EMBLICA contains 1 fl. oz./29.5 ml. It’s priced at $32. It’s made in the U.S. and it is cruelty-free. It can be purchased on the Reviva Labs website, but it’s sold at Ulta, Whole Foods, lots and lots of natural food stores, jet.com, vitacost.com, among other retailers.

I’m starting to see a bunch of skin discoloration and I’m hoping this can help.
Yes, me too, Ann! Plus I’m hoping it’ll give me added daytime protection against new discoloration. Thanks for being number 1 to enter! Good luck 🙂
I try very hard(and mostly succeed)to keep a Vitamin C serum and Hyaluronic acid one around.Ideally,like this one,they are in the same product.Having your endorsement makes this one stand out for me and I will now look and see what products they have.Thanks for the giveaway,you’re a doll.Quick question,do you know if it’s true that if you use a Tinkle Razor for the face first your serum will work better?
I haven’t tried a Tinkle Razor, Laura, so I don’t know. I think if you exfoliate regularly and use a toner or an essence, they help serums go deeper into the skin and work better. There was an interesting article that I found on FB and posted on my Never Say Die Beauty Facebook page yesterday about skincare products that work deeper into the skin layers. It mentioned that marula oil is a get vehicle to help other skincare products get in. Here’s the link: http://www.refinery29.com/delivery-system-skin-care-application#slide
Thanks for entering the giveaway, Laura, and good luck!
Thanks Allison! Heading over to read it now 🙂
I hope you find it useful, Laura!
This sounds seriously lovely, Allison and like you I had no idea that Vit C products degrades each time it’s exposed to air! All my Vit C serums in the past came in a dropper bottle too. :-/ Btw, do you have a good recommendation for a drugstore Vit C serum? I’m looking for one.
ps: Welcome back and I hope you had a brilliant birthday celebration!
Shireen L. Platt recently posted…REVIEW: Make Up For Ever Pro Sculpting Face Palette and Pro Sculpting Brow Pencil
I have never used a vitamin C serum that I actually purchased in the drugstore, Shireen, because I’ve been sent so many to try out!! However, I have tried a number of them including the Reviva Labs Ultra-Potency Vitamin C+ Antioxidant Serum that are affordable (though because of the EMBLICA ingredient, this one is a tad more expensive) but Reviva Labs brand is sold through iherb.com, vitacost.com etc. I have used affordable Kleem Vitamin C Serum, and it comes in a protective airless pump & I believe it’s sold on Amazon. Foxbrim, also sold on Amazon, may have one that’s in a pump. I’ve used others that I liked too but they have droppers.
I have tried other vitamin c serums and they really help make my skin feel healthier. I would love to try Reviva labs antioxidant serum because it sounds like a really good quality product.
This one is different, Annamarie, because you use it primarily for added daytime protection from environmental damage, and I love the airless pump! I think you’d love it. Thank you for entering and good luck 🙂
This is a fabulous product. I’m currently using it every day. Who ever wins this is going to be thrilled.

Have been wanting to try a Vitamin C product, but confused as to which 1 would be beneficial. Hoping to win to try 1 out now!
This vitamin C serum is quite advanced, offering the protection from both kinds of environmental damage, just in time for the outdoor season. I think you’d like it, Constance! Thanks for entering and good luck!
This is such a wonderful Vitamin C serum! This is such an unusual Vitamin Serum, and so much more effective than the others that I have tried. I think that the EMBLICA makes all of the difference. I definitely plan on using this during the warm months of Spring and Summer! Excellent review, as always, Allison!

Wow, that’s great, Aleya! It’s perfect for the outdoor season. Hope you love it too!
I don’t really have dark spots, but I like using hydrating products that contain vitamins and antioxidants. It sounds like they really put a lot of time and thought into this serum! I love the opaque, airtight pump packaging. The price isn’t bad at all, and you’ll actually be able to use all of it up knowing it hasn’t degraded like it would in a dropper! Plus, it also has hyaluronic acid, which, yes please!

This sounds like a great serum. I love Reviva Labs, and always trust their formulas. I like having a great Vitamin C serum with extra benefits.
Amber recently posted…Best of the Blogosphere Link Up Week 68
The “extra benefits” are great for spring and summer especially – if it ever warms up here in New England! Thank you for persevering, Amber!
I didn’t learn about the merits of Vitamin C in skincare until recently. It really does make a big difference for my skin!

Kath TheFabZilla recently posted…Burberry Full Kisses Lipstick : Review, Swatch, Photos
It’s especially great if you’re spending time outdoors exercising or doing anything. The environmental protection is a great add-on
Nothing like a good Vitamin C serum. I’m getting back to skincare slowly and am not allowed serums yet (just moisturisers and mists) but can’t wait to be able to care for my skin properly.
Renu recently posted…LookFantastic Beauty Box April 2016 Review

This sounds like an awesome product!
The Beauty of Life recently posted…#ManiMonday: Dior #319 Sunwashed from the Spring 2015 Tie Dye Collection
Yes, it is especially for people who are outdoors a lot. It would be great for use in LA with all the traffic exhaust
I love Reviva Labs! Good to know is ok to use with acne prone skin and it sounds like it would be good enough to use alone for my oily skin type.
Kristina recently posted…LET’S GET INTIMATTE WITH YOUNGBLOOD COSMETICS LIPSTICKS

I’ve heard that Reviva Labs products are amazing!
Chelsea recently posted…Nexxus Oil Infinite Review
They put so much time and money into research and development, and the products are affordable. They’re the best skincare deal out there!
I tried Reviva Labs before, and i love Vit C, never tried the serum before too
The serum is brand new, I think. And it’s perfect for spring and summer when we’re outdoors and exposed to sun’s damaging rays and the effects of pollution. Thank you for entering and for liking the post on Facebook! Good luck 🙂 (Stay tuned for a different giveaway launching tomorrow too!)
thank you,…i will enter that one too
Yay!
Hmmm… that pump sounds interesting… for a serum like that. I do enjoy Reviva Labs products and may check this one out. Vitamin C is one of those serums I can only use in the morning… if I use it at night… the scent (if there is one) tends to keep me wide a wake all night… but, I would surely try it.
I don’t think there’s a scent in this serum. I think it would be great for you, living in Hawaii and being outdoors a lot. I also think it would serve as your moisturizer too 🙂
This sounds amazing! I love Vitamin C serums, so this is on my list!
Lisa Heath recently posted…Glam Polish The King Collection
It’s a really unusual vitamin C serum because of the protection against both environmental from sun’s rays as well as from pollution. And the packaging is great. I think you’d like it.
I love a good Vitamin C serum, my skin always looks so much brighter after using one!
Babi recently posted…CAMEO COLOURS LACQUERS I Sea What You Did There collection : Swatches and Review
I agree – vitamin C serums really can make a difference! I’m intrigued by the pollution protection in this one. Wish I’d had it when I lived and jogged outdoors in NYC!
I reviewed this as well, so I won’t enter the giveaway – but good luck to those entering! This is a fantastic product. We need all the help we can get battling those nasty free-radicals.
Nidia – Lit From Within recently posted…Melt My Makeup! Battle of the Balms
I agree, Nidia! I think that EMBLICA and its benefits make this such a unique vitamin C serum

I love the environmental pollution protection angle included in this vitamin C serum, and the airless pump is great! A terrific C serum for sure
I would love to win this because we spend a lot of time hiking during the summer. I know that all that sun can be really damaging to my skin and would love to use this to counteract that.
