Sweet Chef | Ginger + Vitamin C Serum Shot

This review was originally part of my blog article titled, Products I Love: Sweet Chef Natural Skincare Vitamin Shots - Best Natural Anti-Aging Serums. You can catch the full piece here.

Hello, Sweet Chef! Sweet Chef’s three genius serums are “the perfect daily shot of natural skincare infused with vegetables and vitamins to freshly boost your skin's vitality and deliver a healthy radiance.” Honestly, that sums up the brand perfectly.

Each serum combines antioxidant vitamins with fruit and vegetable extracts that nourish, protect, retexturize, hydrate and/or moisture the skin — all of which you need to maintain optimum skin health.

The Sweet Chef Ginger + Vitamin C Serum Shot is a really well-formulated Vitamin C serum. Full stop!

'The formula’s particular form of Vitamin C is Ascorbic Acid — also known as L-Ascorbic Acid — the star ingredient in that Skincarma product of the year. Ascorbic Acid is well-researched with proven abilities to brighten the complexion, even out skin tone and, of course, perform the vital function of antioxidant protection.

As the most powerful form of Vitamin C, it is highly unstable and difficult to formulate with. Kudos to the Glow Recipe labs and chemists on this one!

In addition, the Ginger + Vitamin C Serum contains a range of potent antioxidant botanical extracts including Ginger Root Extract and Turmeric Root Extract, both of which are included here at a high level.

Sweet Chef says that its ginger extract contains “40 different kinds of antioxidant properties to even out your skin tone for clear, healthy, youthful skin.” I didn’t know ginger was that powerful!

A little googling and I now also know that it’s a medicinal plant used in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine to alleviate muscle pain, nausea, even cramps. Wow.

This herbaceous serum is quite lightweight and super easy to layer as one of the first steps in your regimen — right before or after Hyaluronic Acid, depending on the viscosity of that particular serum.
