Klairs Vitamin Drop vs. Goodal Green Tangerine
Two beginner-friendly vitamin C serums at nearly identical price, both containing fragrance, split by ingredient source: pure low-percent ascorbic acid vs. natural tangerine extract.
Criteria | Dear, Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop | Goodal Green Tangerine Vita C Dark Spot Care Serum Alpha |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $20.00 | $23.00 |
| Price / unit | $0.57/mL | $0.58/mL |
| Size | 35 mL | 40 mL |
| Price checked | 9/17/2026 | 9/25/2026 |
Both are explicitly positioned for vitamin C beginners, both contain fragrance, and both land at nearly the same price, real substance is in the vitamin C source itself.
Why compare these two specifically
Same intended audience, same price range, and neither is fragrance-free, which removes those as deciding factors. What's left is a genuine question of vitamin C source: a mild, pure form at low concentration, or a naturally-derived plant extract.
Price per milliliter
Klairs runs $0.57 per milliliter ($20.00 for 35mL). Goodal runs $0.58 per milliliter ($23.00 for 40mL). Functionally identical price.
Pure low-percent ascorbic acid vs. natural extract
Klairs uses pure ascorbic acid at a mild, entry-level 5% concentration, alongside centella asiatica and sodium hyaluronate, a long-standing, consistently-formulated product. Goodal uses green tangerine extract at a genuine 70% concentration, a naturally-derived vitamin C source, alongside niacinamide and glutathione, with a real, repeated Olive Young bestseller record.
Our take
If you want the most predictable, longest-documented pure vitamin C form at a mild concentration, Klairs is the safer, more established choice. If you'd rather have a naturally-derived source with a genuine, repeated bestseller record behind it, Goodal is an equally reasonable beginner pick at essentially the same price.
