Introduction

While including a skin brightening serum in your skin care routine may not necessarily be something you consider, finding a product with key beneficial ingredients can work wonders to reduce the appearance of age spots and sun damage. More so than just your regular moisturizer or serum. Look for a product that has ingredients that are specifically targeted to even out skin tone and brighten dull-looking skin. Does Tatcha Violet-C Brightening Serum have what it takes? This review examines what this formula encased in an eye-catching bottle has to offer. Is there more to this product than its beautiful packaging?

Ingredients

We like that Tatcha Violet-C Brightening Serum is packed with antioxidants and mild AHAs derived from fruit extracts. Antioxidants, such as Vitamin C, protect against free radical damage which is a leading cause of premature aging. Antioxidants also help protect against sun damage, while AHAs help exfoliate dead skin cells for a more glowing appearance. The key ingredients this product includes are:

  • Vitamin C
  • Japanese Beautyberry
  • Apple
  • Grapefruit
  • Orange
  • Lemon
  • Lime
  • Hawthorn
  • Jujube
  • Japanese Angelica Root
While these ingredients sound very appealing and the product website mentions the expected results you should experience, there are no clinical studies actually backing up the use of these ingredients and their benefits.

How To Use

It is recommended to apply each evening to clean skin. Gently massage 1-2 pumps of the serum into the skin.

Price

You can buy a 1 oz bottle, which is a standard size bottle, for $88. This isn't a bad price for a brightening serum, though it is more expensive than our #1 pick which has more proven ingredients to offer. The only option for a discount is if you sign up to Tatcha's auto-delivery program and then you can save 10%. We don't like these kinds of programs as they are not always easy to cancel, even if stated otherwise. We also think it's better to be in control of when your credit card will be charged.

Guarantee

You are able to return Tatcha Violet-C Brightening Serum if you are not happy, and receive your money back at no cost, if you are inside the U.S. There is no mention of how long you have to make a return, though. This offer seems to apply only to closed bottles, or possibly newly opened bottles as well, but it is not clear. You can only take advantage of this return policy if you bought directly from the manufacturer's website.

Conclusion

We like the look of Tatcha Violet-C Brightening Serum and that it contains ingredients derived from natural sources to create a non-irritating serum. It is also cruelty-free and does not contain any parabens or phthalates. However, for the price, we hoped it would have more to the formula. The inclusion of clinically-proven ingredients or any links to clinical studies supporting the chosen formula is the best way to go to really know what you are getting. With so many products available on the market, we recommend those that are more transparent with exactly what their formulation consists of and how it will benefit you. Even the return policy for this product is not entirely clear.
