Smells funky
I got this product on sale and was excited to try it. It spreads nicely but smells like a public bathroom. I mix it with another product to hide the scent. I'll finish using it but I will not purchase again

The smell ....
I think this is the first product from Elf that I did not like. The smell initially made me question if I got a product that had gone bad but after reading the reviews seems that's how it is. The dropper is also very tight to come out of the bottle and gives you a tiny amount at a time. Maybe the serum in itself is good but I don't think I can use it purely because of the smell.

Great budget Vit C option
my favorite budget friendly Vit C. It's not as strong as some brands out there, but if you have sensitive skin, that's actually a big plus. Pleasant, light fragrance that doesn't linger.

A lovely serum ..
... and effective. But I’ve found the new serum even more effective, although less pleasant to use.

the smell is terrible!
I bought this few months ago and just recently opened it. The smell is horrible. I have never used any serum with this kind of smell. I really thought it went bad until I saw the comments.

Holy grail
I absolutely love this product. Unfortunately, I can’t find it in stores anymore, which is really sad for me. I buy like 2 bottles to last me, and I purchase every 2 months. However, I can now buy it here on the app. I just hope that Elf does not stop making this product. I absolutely love it!!!

Having a real hard time with the smell
The serum is okaaaaay. Nothing special, in my opinion. Also, the dropper is barely useful. The issue though? The smell is really off-putting. It smells somewhat stale or spoilt. Another reviewer complained about a "fragrance" but there is no fragrance that I can tell. It's just not something I enjoy putting on my face,

Good
I like this product. I don’t love the dropper, but maybe it helps me not use too much product.

pocket friendly serum
I’ve been using this for a couple weeks and my skin looks way brighter. it feels light and sinks in fast, not sticky at all. the scent is nice but not too strong. honestly didn’t expect much, but it turned out really good. definitely keeping it in my routine.

Beware
I just purchased this product and after two days of use and terrible reaction my face broke out in the rash, and it felt like my skin was burnt I did not apply to around my eyes only on my face and yet my under my eyes were all swollen so just be careful. I’ve never had a product do this to me ever !

Smells Odd, Good Serum
Serum is great, but it smells weird. I usually shake it before applying & mix together with a moisturizer to offset the scent. Will continue to use until it’s empty, but won’t purchase again unless the smell is improved somehow.

Worked
When I say this worked I mean it. It made some dark spots on my face get so much lighter in a manner of weeks. Worth it all the way.

Smells terrible
When I first received this I tested on the back of my hand and immediately I was like - what smells so bad? And yes it was the serum. The aroma is a combination of plastic and dog poop.
