Q: Has anyone had problems with the pump? I am not able to get much if any product out even If I put a lot!

submitted by Curious - 7 months ago

  • A: Hello! The Vitamin C Serum features an airless pump, which differs from other Vanicream products. The first time the pump is activated, it evacuates any small amounts of air that may have been left

    submitted byTarget Brand Expert - 7 months ago

  • A: behind during filling. Once the air is evacuated and the tube is primed, it becomes an airless system (unless the cap is unscrewed, in which case you need to prime and evacuate the air again). This

    submitted byTarget Brand Expert - 7 months ago

  • A: helps reduce air exposure to the formula. This was chosen because the pump style is most hygienic and protective of the formula. It also adjusts well to the consistency of our formula. Thank you!

My Skin Likes It

I’m happy with this Vitamin C Serum. My skin has no adverse reaction and that’s a good thing. I have finished my first tube and have bought another. This serum is easily absorbed and my skin now glows. Also, there is no fragrance so now hives. Yay!

I am 100% satisfied with this vitamin C cream. I have very sensitive skin and I’m allergic to just about everything so I was hesitant about trying this product. Definitely will continue to purchase and I definitely recommend for anybody with sensitivity or mature skin.

Effective but great for sensitive skin!

This is the only vitamin c serum I have ever been to tolerate, because it’s THD ascorbate, a different vitamin c formulation from most serums. Every other one makes me breakout or causes burning/a rash, but not this one! I have been using it every morning and it makes my skin feel moisturized and I really think it’s helped make my skin look brighter and just better after several months of use. This is my first vanicream product and I will try them again! Highly recommend for sensitive skin!

Love vanicream!

I have very sensitive skin with occasional flare ups of SebDerm. Vanicream is one of the few product lines my skin can regularly tolerate. We use almost all their products. Vitamin c serum is gentle enough though I sometimes do light microdermabrasion and if I use the vitamin c serum too close, it can sting slightly when applying but other than that user error-- never any issue! I try to use 2x per day before applying Vanicream daily facial moisturizer. I have dry skin so I usually even apply Vanicream moisturizer that comes in the tub after those lol but it works !

Best vitamin c serum. So cheap, so effective, and doesn’t clog my pores or break me out at all. I’ve used way more expensive serums and this worked faster than all of them

Really nice and glowy

My sensitive skin loves this! It feels hydrating and glowy to my dry sensitive skin and does not cause breakouts like others I have tried. Not greasy, layers well, feels very light and gentle.

Noticable improvment

I've been using this everyday for about a year and have noticeable improvements in my skin texture and tone. It's gentle, effective, and doesn't irritate my rosacea and psoriasis. One tube lasts me about a month and a half using once a day.

Only 2 weeks into use but hasn’t broken out my sensitive acne prone skin or caused any irritation at all. The scent is slightly off putting but fades quickly. No brightening effect yet but that’s not surprising since it hasn’t been long.

For the sensitive skin girls

Another win for vanicream. I gace up on vitamin c because every single type, even the crrazy expensive luxury ones broke out my skin within days but this one is fantastic and my skin loves it, already seeing significant skin brightening after about 5 weeks of use, will def repurchase!!
