cocokind vitamin c glow serum
Works for
Evens skin toneAscorbyl glucoside, Azelaic acidWorks well
“Our sensitive skin-friendly brightening serum uses a stable form of vitamin C and azelaic acid to improve uneven skin tone, firm, and visibly boost skin’s glow.”
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: azelaic acid
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually can help even out the skin tone: ascorbyl glucoside.
Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.
Anti-agingAscorbyl glucoside, Aloe barbadensis leaf juiceMay help
“A potent dose of antioxidants help keep skin looking youthful and bright.”
This product contains ascorbyl glucoside. This ingredient might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.
MoisturizingGlycerin, Polyglycerin-6 + 4 moreWorks
“hyaluronic acid and sea grape caviar help plump skin’s surface with hydration and reinforce skin’s moisture barrier.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": betaine, glycerin.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Ascorbyl glucoside, Azelaic acidWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (azelaic acid) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
The following ingredients - ascorbyl glucoside also can have an antioxidant effect, but there is less evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin.
Anti-blemishSide benefit · Azelaic acid, Aloe barbadensis leaf juiceWorks well
This product can help reduce breakouts and clogged pores because it contains the following ingredient: azelaic acid. This ingredient is used for treating acne and can have a noticeable effect.

This would be good for those just starting their vitamin c journey, wonderfully gentle for sensitive skin. A bit tacky after application (and doesn't really dry down very well) and results are slow given the percentages of actives.
