Are they worth it?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Serum packaged in tiny single-use (or double-use in the case of Vichy) is not a new concept, but with these drugstore offerings, the question ends up being how cost-effective each option is. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On the one hand, vitamin C is volatile, and single-use packaging ensures that the formula stays fresh. How many of us have shilled out for an expensive serum, forgotten about it, and then realized that it’s brown and stinky upon opening? That’s definitely a waste of money. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But a box of vitamin C capsules or vials costs about $40-50 per month, whereas a 30ml bottle of the stuff can be had for $60-$100 and lasts about 3 months. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Formula aside, what would you rather buy? How much does price affect what you’re going to get?
