Must-Have: Mario Badescu Vitamin C Serum
We all know I am not a beauty blogger, but I love products (as do most women I know) and I love to share (as do most bloggers I know) so I was particularly excited when the lovely team at Mario Badescu reached out to me to introduce some of their classic favorites and newest soon-to-be favorites.
I am Romanian, as some of you know, so have always had an affinity for this brand and its clean, clinical chic packaging. I have used the uber-popular drying lotion but admittedly never looked too far beyond that.
Well apparently this Romanian has been missing out.
The vitamin C serum caught my eye instantly. I have been wanting to try something similar for a while now, but always thought my 34-year-old routine of wash, moisturize and occasionally tone and exfoliate was fine as is.
Until now.
I used the vitamin C serum and seriously, after the very first use, I saw results. Now again, I am not a beauty blogger, so I haven’t tried 432 serums and I don’t know the lingo and the technical benefits, etc. etc.
But I do know this – my skin felt and looked amazing. After only one use.
It just looked a little brighter, softer, and more radiant. And in the several uses since then, it has maintained its effects, to the point where I forgot to bring it on our trip last week and was actually excited to come home and use it.
So I went to Nicole from the Mario Badescu PR team and asked her to share the lingo and technical benefits with you:
What is the vitamin C serum targeting, exactly?
The Vitamin C Serum helps promote collagen production, protect the skin from free radical damage as well as repair existing damage. It targets elasticity, uneven texture and discoloration.
What is a serum for those that don’t know?
A serum is a product generally applied before moisturizer that is formulated with a high concentration of active ingredients.
Who should use this product?
This is a great product for anyone who would like to add an anti-aging element to their current regimen.
Who should NOT use this product?
If you have severe acne, a skin condition, are taking a topical prescription for a skin condition or are highly sensitive consult your dermatologist before using this product.
What results can one expect from the vitamin C serum?
With regular use skin will look more firm, brighter and more even toned.
Any other tips for people using it?
Make sure to use sunscreen daily. Vitamin C plus sunscreen is a winning combination for anti-aging.
So that’s it in a nutshell, from me and from Nicole. If you try it, let us know what you think!

Ok, I’m sold! Will have to put that in my shopping cart for my next round of beauty products.
Let me know what you think!
