Best Vitamin C Serums Under ₹500

Compared: vitamin c serums under ₹500
Serums whose last checked price was ₹500 or less. Ranked by sourced customer rating weighted for review volume; only ratings checked in the last 30 days are included. How the ranking works
No published serum currently matches this page with a recently verified price and rating. We add products only after checking a source, so this list will grow. Meanwhile, browse the full serum database.
How to judge value
Price per ml is the fairest comparison because bottle sizes vary from 10 ml to 50 ml. Also think about how quickly you will finish it: vitamin C serums can oxidise after opening, so a large bottle that turns dark before you finish is not good value. See vitamin C serum oxidation.
Prices change often and differ between sellers. Each product here shows the price we last checked, where it came from and when. Always confirm the current price before buying.
Other price bands
If nothing here suits you, the under ₹1,000 list has many more options.
Frequently asked questions
+Are cheap vitamin C serums effective?
They can be. Effectiveness depends on the vitamin C form, strength, formula and packaging rather than price. A budget serum stored well and used daily can be more useful than an expensive one that oxidises.
+Why does the price here differ from the shop?
Retail prices and discounts change frequently. We show the price from a named source on the date we checked it, so treat it as a guide.
