#1 for best value

A classic Vitamin C serum that is surprisingly strong for pore, acne scar, and sebum care, especially considering it's in the 1000 yen price range.

The reason is simple.

  • Cheap

  • Many people feel the effects

  • Easy to obtain

  • Hard to go wrong with

Even beauty geeks usually have this.

If you're looking for 'the first one to try,' it's still a very strong contender.


2nd place for best value


Despite being a high-concentration Vitamin C, it allows for aggressive pore care at under 3,000 yen.

It's cheap despite following the Obagi-style high-concentration route.

However,

  • stinging

  • oxidation

  • refrigerated storage
