Stinks!!
Yikes it smells so bad! I tried it for the first time 6/10/25 . Smells like rotten eggs plus it came out of the bottle really thick and a wierd color yellow. I still could smell it once i put it on. Had to go into a public bathroom to wash it off.

Unpleasant smell
The odor of this product line is very unpleasant. I thought that this would be useful for my skin but the odor is offensive. I will be returning for a refund as I cannot use the product.

In love with this serum
I have owned a lot of serums throughout my adult life. PTR Potential-C is by far a superior quality than the rest. It starts with the beauty of the bottle itself, the sublime experience of rubbing in the serum. It is exquisite. The light smell and ease of application are divine. The results can be seen almost immediately. I will never use another serum again.

Best C Serum!
This is by far my favorite face cream in a long time! It makes my skin feel incredibly soft, and it's so lightweight. Since I started using it, my skin has been clearer and brighter than ever.

Youthful Results
Best VIT C ever. The results are amazing. Who cares about the smell that disapats in 10 second,, does not bother me one bit when I look in the mirror every day and see youthful results.

Good serum
Too soon to tell is I see any difference but my skin does feel nice and smooth. The smell of this product is a little off putting. Not a pleasant scent

Smells like burnt cheap plastic
I thank God I didn't pay full price for this, it didn't help my skin with discoloration, this is just an overpriced moisturizer that smells horrible, truly horrible, like you're burning a cleaning solution with plastic, I have to use it at night, otherwise I'd be smelling it the whole day, I would recommend this to someone I hate.

Packaging
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Most important info for ptr pump products, you must keep pump products upside down to get the most out of them, up to a month more. Other than that I love ptr products!!! I’m 71 and I look great for my age thanks to my PRT regimen.

Can’t get over the smell
I haven’t been able to use this regularly bc the smell is so overpowering. Like a burnt plastic bag that had an orange in it. I really wanted to like it and push through but my husband even commented on it.

Fragrant
I usually use SkinMedica C serum but wanted to try this. It's very silky and smooth, does well under makeup with no pilling at all. My only negative is has a strong scent. It's not a bad scent at all, I am just sensitive to fragrances .
