The most-discussed vitamin C serums, priced in Australia

The serums people argue about most, and what the price gap between Australian stores looks like on each.

This list ranks vitamin C serums by how often skincare communities on Reddit discuss them — not by how good they are, and not by what suits your skin. Of the 9 here, 2 are carried by an Australian store we index and 1 by two or more, which is what makes a price comparable rather than just a price.

Matching a discussed product to a retailer listing is done by hand and reviewed; where we matched a different variant than the one named, the row says so. A product with no stockist is left in the list rather than dropped — its absence is the finding. Most often it is a pharmacy brand our stores do not carry, not a discontinued product.
