Another reason for the ineffectivity of the products, besides them containing a low percentage of ascorbic acid, could be that the vitamin c has already oxidized. Vitamin c is very unstable as an ingredient.
If you still want to give it a try, look for products that have at least 10% vitamin c and also contain tocopherol and ferulic acid. Those two ingredients help stabilize vitamin c. And remember to store your serum in the fridge to slow down the oxidization process. Since the percentage is going to be higher introduce it slowly into your routine, to see how your skin reacts.

Those products have a low percentage of vitamin C, which could at least partially explain the lack of results for you.
