And another vitamin C serum joins the pantheon of wonderful serums!
I had the opportunity to try Valentia Even Glow Serum with Vitamin C 20%. Even though I’ve tried about a million vitamin C serums over the past year or so, I am always up for trying new ones. As I mentioned last time, each one is different and usually shines in its own way. It’s just a matter of finding the right combination of product attributes, benefits and ingredients to suit you and your skin.
Just to review, vitamin C serum:
- helps to stimulate collagen production
- is an antioxidant that fights free radical damage
- restores and regenerates previous skin damage, e.g. acne scars, hyperpigmentation, lines and wrinkles etc.
- protects skin from UV damage by working from within and by thickening the dermis layer (However, vitamin C serum does not replace using SPF!).
Valentia Even Glow Serum arrived in an elegant white box with gold trim.
Like many others, the serum comes in a dark brown apothecary bottle to protect the effectiveness of the ingredients. It has an easy to use dropper.
What I love most about Valentia Even Glow Serum is the incredible orange scent. It’s more than just a hint of oranges. I love oranges and anything that’s orange-scented, so I really love using this one. It’s an instant pick-me-up.
The other benefit for me is that the orange serum is the perfect viscosity: thick enough that it isn’t runny, not too thick that it’s hard to get out of the dropper. Perfect.
I use it twice a day after washing my face. I apply it to face and neck, let it dry, and then apply my moisturizer. Valentia Even Glow Serum suits my skin well, and it does give me a glow after applying it. I have used so many serums I can’t really say which one did what, but overall, my skin looks better since using vitamin C serums.
Valentia Even Glow Serum with Vitamin C 20% contains 1.18 fl. oz./35 ml. It’s made in the U.S. It contains 98% natural ingredients including what they call “Skin Super Oils”: my favorite organic rosehip seed oil and also organic sea buckthorn oil. Other key ingredients in the formula include:
- hyaluronic acid to attract moisture and keep skin hydrated
- green tea – antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-irritant
- plant stem cells to help skin recover from stressors.
It doesn’t contain alcohol or parabens.
You can learn more about Valentia Even Glow Serum as well as their other serum, Valentia Organic Rosehip Oil, on their website. Even Glow Serum is sold on Amazon for $35 with free shipping (see below). I noticed there’s a buy one, get one 50% off promotion going on now. One for yourself and one to give as a gift 😎
So add Valentia Even Glow Serum to your list of vitamin C serums to try!
Vitamin C serums are a staple in my skincare routine too. This sounds wonderful!

Gio, I think this one is my favorite or tied for favorite so far. The citrus scent is fabulous, and it is the perfect viscosity for me. Love it.
I’ve never used a face serum like this before! The price is a little daunting just because I’ve never tried it before but it still sounds like it could be a great winner!

I love face serums, Krystal! They are definitely my BFF. I’ve tried about a million vitamin C serums, and I think this is either my favorite one or my tied for First Place vitamin C serum. I adore citrus scents, and this one has the best scent yet. It really has helped the appearance of my skin. Valentia Skin Care is a little more expensive than some of the others I’ve tried but not by much, and they do have promotions from time to time.
Fantastic Serum…love how this made my skin look and feel
Diana, I’m so glad you know and love Valentia Even Glow Serum, too! And don’t you love the orange scent, too? Thank you so much for commenting about it!
As always, and excellent and thorough review, Allison! I love Vitamin C Serums, and this one looks very promising! <3

I’m glad you liked it too, Kim. I would say it’s either my favorite or one of my top 2 vitamin C serums!
I’m using this now and I love it!

I’m glad that you love it too. What a great discovery!
I’ve tried Obagi and I’d say in comparison I’d stick to Valentia because I experienced the same results for less.

Isn’t great when you find something that works that’s affordable?!
I love vitamin C serums it’s really helping with my acne scarring
Jessica recently posted…Let’s talk Star Style Hair
I’m glad that you’re seeing real results from vitamin C. I think it is a skincare powerhouse!
Sounds like a must try for me! Love serums that contain both Vitamin C AND hyaluronic acid. Still loving the Coui serum as well although I would prefer something less runny.
Both Valentia and Coui serums have HA in the ingredient list, but Coui has Niacinamide which is a good ingredient to have too. Unfortunately, I can’t read the Valentia ingredient list because the font is so darn small, and I’ve been unable to find a complete ingredient list for the product online. I just tested the two serums to compare their viscosity, and the Coui is a little less viscous than Valentia so you may prefer the Valentia, Kim 🙂
Great review! Hyaluronic acid and Green Tea extract always worked wonders for my skin.
Anastasia recently posted…Smith & Cult Dark Like Me Swatches and Review
I was glad to see HA and green tea extract in the formula too. I love this serum.
I love Vitamin C serums, especially high concentration ones.
Carleen recently posted…Fashion and Functionality With The Moto 360 Watch
Yes, with the 20% vitamin C, I would say this is considered a high concentration serum. Some time ago I was reading the results of one of the original studies on the efficacy of vitamin C on skin, and I think they found a significant effect even with concentrations of 10%.
Vitamin C is so great for the skin, would love this serum!

Of all the ones I’ve tried, I have a bunch I like but I think I like this one the most and I’ve been using it for about a month 🙂
You have been so lucky with the results from your serums!

I have been lucky with C serums! How about you, Tina? Do you use them?
This was one of the first serums I reviewed, and still one of my faves. Love the smell soo much, and my skin really loves Vitamin C.
I’m glad that you confirmed my positive experience with this brand of C serum, Nidia. That orange scent and the right consistency really make me love it!
I’ve been hearing such great things about this, I think I need to try it. at 20% I bet it really makes a difference!
Cindy (Prime Beauty) recently posted…Review: Tarte Away Oui Go Portable Palette & Collector’s Set
This brand really is a good one. I wish I could read all the ingredients (the font is minuscule) because I’d love to see if it has niacinamide in it – that would make it absolutely perfect!
I love that it has green tea!
Phyrra recently posted…Glamour Doll Eyes Paper Runway Eyeshadows
Yes, that’s a good thing!
I love this, too, and need to stock up!

Ooh, this sounds great! Love the addition of green tea.
Bailey recently posted…EDT Loving | Fragrances for Him & Her
Yes, I’ve been reading about green tea, and though the benefits are not firmly demonstrated in research yet, things are pointing in the right direction and there’s a lot more research going on. Yay
Finally I can comment. I love all things Vitamin C so I don’t mind adding this to my list of must-haves!
Kath TheFabZilla recently posted…Fabulous Stocking Stuffers $25 and Under
So sorry you had trouble getting in, Kathryne. TripleLift said they were having server problems, and they pulled the ads tho’ it’s supposed fixed and they’re going back up. This affordable vitamin C serum from Valentia definitely should go onto your “to try” list.
I can always count on you to find a good serum!

Vitamin C is so important for healthy skin
Kimmi @ The Plastic Diaries recently posted…My Skin Cancer Story
For sure! Valentia Even Glow Serum has the perfect scent and viscosity for me and other great ingredients in addition to C. I just wish it had niacinamide and maybe retinol too, but I guess I’d have to craft my own to get everything in one 😉
My skin reacts really loves vitamin C!
