I am really liking this vitamin C face serum so far. I have only been using it for about a week, so I haven't seen significant results yet. I love the texture and the tube with the pump. The serum spreads easy and a small amount goes a long way. I also wear a sunscreen serum over this and the two work well together. My makeup wears beautifully over both products, in fact, it seems to last longer. I am hoping to see visible results soon.

Less is More
I have sensitive skin. If your skin is overly sensitive already, u should do a small patch on ur neck first & leave it over night. Gradually go up to small areas of ur face, if nothing happens. I do not mix this with other strong actives. I use this daily every AM then layer with a light moisturizer & sunscreen. 1-2x a week, i do treat my skin with a more potent vit C. Overall, my skin glows like “I look oily, but my face isn’t oily” kind of glow Want to add that I exfoliate & use strong ingredients some days so this vit C serves its purpose for me— it is gentle & works well for when i am giving my skin a little break. I’ve struggled with closed comedones & hormonal acne. Never broke out with this one. For the price, it’s SO worth it.

Simple & Effective Vitamin C for Sensitive Skin
Love this vitamin c serum! I have sensitive skin that often breaks out with vitamin c. This lovely formula has not caused any irritation or breakouts. It glides on smoothly and dries very quickly. Works well under moisturizer, sunscreen and makeup. No pilling for me. I often layer it under The Ordinary Azelaic acid followed by One Skin topical treatment prior to the the rest of my morning products and have experienced zero issues. It’s a simple & effective vitamin c for sensitive skin!

This actually works
My previous vitamin c serum was discontinued and I was trying to find one that worked just as well. I absolutely love this and can tell a difference since using it. The price point is right and the product does not peel up. I can wear under makeup with no issues. Will be repurchasing

So good
This cream has made such improvements in my skin. I’ve been using it for about a month now and the dark circles under my eyes have lightened dramatically! Even my boyfriend noticed and pointed it out. My whole face looks brighter and my skin is clear & thriving over all. This is the first vitamin c cream that I have ever used and I am so pleased with it. 10/10 :)

Favorite serum
This is my first time trying this vitamin C serum, but I will definitely purchase again and continue to use it. I have sensitive skin and this works really well for me. I like how soft and smooth it makes my skin feel. You only need a small amount to cover skin on entire face. It's a small tube, but has lasted awhile and I use it sometimes twice a day. It's a little on the pricey side, but does last awhile.
