Love it
Love this serum. Fades acne marks within a week of using it. The vitamin c really helps and brightens my skin. Helps with hydration as well. It does not leave a sticky feeling.

Glowy, Lightweight & Affordable Brightening Boost

Affordable and effective, it’s a great daily pick-me-up for brighter, healthier-looking skin.

A gentle, lightweight serum that actually delivers
I’ve been using this for a few weeks now, and I honestly didn’t expect to love it as much as I do. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly without feeling greasy. It has a subtle scent that’s not overpowering, and the packaging with the dropper makes it super easy to use. I’ve noticed my skin looking more refreshed and brighter—especially in the mornings. It layers well under my moisturizer and makeup, and I haven’t experienced any breakouts or irritation, which is a huge win for my sensitive skin.

Definitely worth the try
Nice texture and sleek packaging. I feel like it gives immediate results and they just keep getting better and better the longer and more consistent you use it

Best purchase!
I’ve been consistently using this on one of my dark spots on my arm and I have seen such a huge difference! Ive been using it twice a day for about two- four months now and you could barely tell how it started!

Broke me out :(
If you have sensitive, oily, and/or acne prone skin avoid this product. It broke me out really badly AND burned my skin! Took over 2 weeks to heal, and my skin is still sensitive over it :(

Fresher look overtime, non-sticky feel
Results show up after a month. My skin seems brighter and fresher overtime - note: I do not have sensitive skin or acne, so no opinion on this. Because of the transparent glass packaging, make sure to store it away from the sun. It is not sticky or irritating to the skin. The scent is very light.

Face serum
I have noticed a huge difference in my face. It has made my skin so soft. Im prone to adult acne and my face is so clear. I love it. I was told by a friend that I was "glowing". My pores seem smaller and my face was more even toned. It's getting better every day. I highly recommend this. I've tried other similar product that were so expensive only to have them not work. This works and is reasonably priced.

Tuh!
I’ve used this for a over a month and noticed that my skin started to become flaky. This is the only new product I’ve added to my routine. This product has vitamin c and hyaluronic acid which my skin loves, but I didn’t notice any brightening and my skin did not feel nice and supple. Overall, I can’t recommend this product because it simply feels like I’m applying tap water to my face.

Affordable vitamin C serum
I read all the positive reviews about this serum and decided to purchase it. My skin was looking a little bit uneven and had light redness. This serum began improving the issues right away. After only a few days my skin is so much more even toned and the redness is only a shadow of what it was. I use this serum morning and night. In the morning I mix a few drops with my moisturizer and then apply it to my face. In the evening I apply just the serum. It is smooth, not heavy, moisturizing and seems to heal minor skin concerns. Vitamin C, vitamin B3, marine collagen and calcium are working for my skin.

Really lovely formula
Really lovely product with a lovely formula when on your skin. I think it has a slight orange scent but not sure if that’s because of the colour of the bottle but overall feels lovely.

Great Price for Product
This price point is amazing and the product contains licorice root which was hard to find in the drug store. A few drops brightens my skin and absorbs enough for another layer of skin care. I love this product.

Wonderful Product for Price
It gets 5 stars for many reason... the price point is just great. The ingredients actually brighten and it was one of the few drug store products I found with licorice root, and finally this product is great because 3 drops smoothes and moisten the skin while absorbing enough for another layer of skin care. I just discovered these vitamin boosters and I hope they stick around!

Use your brain
I just want to say to all those who broke out then gave one-star ratings that they're stupid. They immediately used the product on their face without doing a patch test then end up crying to their mothers when they break out. It's just common sense.
