Tried and true vitamin C
This vitamin c serum is the perfect mix of affordable and quality. I noticed a difference within a day of using this easy to apply product. The serum absorbs quickly and leaves behind skin that feels and looks healthy. The packaging is well thought out to help keep the possibility of oxidation at bay.

High quality Vitamin C
I absolutely love the cerave vitamin c serum. Other vitamin C serums have caused allergic reactions to my face, but this one never has. I love that it’s fragrance free but appears to be just as potent as other leading brands. It’s thick enough to not drip everywhere but thin enough to absorb easily. I like that it is very easy to get out of the tube and does not make a mess. I will continue to purchase this vitamin C!

Irritating Serum
I wanted to like this vitamin c serum, but within a couple days of usage it made my skin feel like it was burning. Sadly, this product didn't work for me.

Was already Oxidized when opened
I love cerave products but every bottle I buy of this in Canada has been oxidized when I open it. It is brown/orange.

Love the formula! Not sticky, very light, absorbs quickly. The tube it comes in is horrendous. Taking the cap off is hard and placing it back on is even harder. Would love a change in the packaging to a bottle with a dropper.

My Derm Told Me to Buy
My dermatologist recommended this and said it’s the best she’s found—even compared to much more expensive options. She uses it herself, and I can see why. It has made a noticeable difference in my skin, and I’ll definitely keep using it.

Amazing
I've been using CeraVe Skin Renewing Vitamin C Serum in the mornings, and it fits into my routine more easily than I expected. The texture is lighter than I imagined for a vitamin C product and doesn't feel oily or heavy on my skin. It sinks in pretty fast and leaves my face feeling smooth rather than sticky. What I noticed first was how comfortable it feels. My skin usually reacts to vitamin C, but this one didn't sting or cause redness. After a couple of weeks, my skin started to look a bit brighter overall, especially on days when it usually looks dull or tired. It's not dramatic, but it's a steady, healthy-looking glow. I also like that my skin still feels hydrated after applying it. Some vitamin C serums leave my face feeling tight, but this one doesn't. It layers well with moisturizer and sunscreen, and I haven't had issues with pilling or irritation when I use it consistently. Overall, it feels like a dependable, low-effort vitamin C serum. It's not flashy or intense, but it quietly does its job, and that's why I keep reaching for it.

This vitamin C serum gives hydration and radiance while helping even out skin tone - but results may take a few weeks of regular use to become noticeable.
I really like the Crave Vitamin C Serum. It feels lightweight and absorbs quickly, leaving my skin looking brighter and more radiant over time. The formula helps even out my skin tone and gives a refreshing boost without irritation. I've noticed a subtle improvement in dullness and overall texture with consistent use. It works nicely under moisturizer and makeup, making it a great daily addition to my routine.

Lightweight vitamin C that absorbs fast and leaves
This vitamin C serum is lightweight, gentle, and easy to layer into my routine. It absorbs quickly, doesn’t feel sticky, and hasn’t caused irritation or breakouts. With regular use, my skin looks brighter and more even while still feeling hydrated. Great option if you want vitamin C without harshness.

Glowy, fast-absorbing serum that smells amazing
I’ve been repurchasing this serum ever since I first tried it. The bottle isn’t big, but it contains a generous amount of product. It gives my skin a beautiful, healthy glow, absorbs quickly and smells amazing. Overall, it’s a perfect addition to my routine and I highly recommend it.

Used to be great
This used to be my holy grail, I would exfoliate and slather it all over my face/chest ahead of a party and get glowing skin without makeup. But around when they changed the bottle a few years ago it started making me break out without fail, I’m so sad.

So great for sensitive skin
I have a very naturally red face and incredibly sensitive skin - this is my favorite serum that takes my redness down to nothing and feels so soothing.
