I have reviewed many Vitamin C serums, creams, lotions, potions, and you would think I would have one that mimics another, but I have yet to find one that is identical in formulation. Each has it’s own unique ingredients and the three I have reviewed that sort of were close in formulation, they all behaved differently once applied. I think in the end the source of the product matters and being able to take that leap of faith and trust that what you are buying, is what you are getting.
Joyal Beauty is a company, which satisfies the serum junkie in me. Seriously, look at their product line and it’s serum heaven. I always start any beauty regimen with a serum because the skin quickly absorbs it and they rarely leave any residues that interfere with other products. What’s not to love?
As with other vitamin C serums, the claims remain the same:
- Free Radical Protection caused from oxidation to sunburns
- Antioxidant protection and nourishment
- Brightening of skin and with long term use smoothness in texture
- Helps reduce age spots, dark spots and such from aging, acne to sun damage
- Wrinkle reduction because the product aids with hydration absorption, causing a more “plump” appearance
- Improvement in skin texture where you may achieve better elasticity and Vitamin C serums with the ingredients listed, have also been proven to help moisturizers perform better by increasing the time the skin stays hydrated.
- Your skin’s complexion will not only have a better appearance but also be more stable (better skin’s health)
The big difference is what ingredients were used with Joyal Beauty, is the use of STA.Y-C® 50 The manufacture states this is a more stable and superior form of Vitamin C and the proprietary blend will actually hydrate up to 72 hours. That is a huge difference!

Indications:
You simply apply the product to a clean surface and because it’s a serum, you apply Joyal Beauty’s Super Brightening Vitamin C first and allow the skin to absorb the product. This process only takes a few minutes and you then follow up with a moisturizer, and don’t forget SPF for daytime use. I used the product twice a day to achieve better results and the serum was gentle enough to be used around my eyes and great for plumping and nourishing lips.
Retail Price Point: $24.95 via Amazon for a 1 fluid ounce bottle.
Verdict:
I had zero issues with interactions and found the serum helped control my “T-Zone” and I experienced less issues with a shiny forehead, nose, and chin come mid-afternoon. The product also absorbed very quickly and started to plump my skin up instantaneously. I am hesitant when it comes to proprietary blends because a company may hide behind what they really are, but I could not state the same when it came to Joyal Beauty. Even their ingredient list is forthcoming when it comes to what makes their ingredients and even down to what purpose they serve. Very open in a world of beauty where products are treated like secret potion recipes, that are never to be shared! I am not use to that, so I still even approached the use and performance with greater judgement. Yes, they made me wary being honest! 🙂 About day 7, my judgmental thinking was turned when I started seeing positive results and because I use Vitamin C serums daily, followed after with retinol, I am again just jumping from one Vitamin C serum to another. Okay, I must admit that whatever makes up that STA.Y-C® 50, the potion works! I wanted to tell you it was just like any other Vitamin C serum I have used and if you changed the labels I would not be the wiser but my fine lines did not only diminish……they went poof! I like poof when it comes to wrinkles! I got serious hydration and in just 7 days noticed smoother skin that remained with the same texture after washing. That means a face that is clean and residue free still remained hydrated and plumped because the benefits were kept (mine all mine!). I like to call that looking still good with a naked face is always a positive.
