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 :)

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.

Really Works WONDERS for my skin. I have REALLY sensitive facial skin and Can hardly use anything that doesn’t burn, rash, or cause break outs. I tried Vani cream because I was out of options. And I’m so glad I tried them! Everyones skin is different but this has definitely cleared up some dark spots and left my skin smooth

I am on ache treatment, and i saw this all over socail media, and everyone said it would help with dark spots. Personally my skin is super sensitve, but I love this brand. if you are very sensitive like me, or on any sort of ance treatment; on trention or chylimiacin, this will be too harsh for you.
Ignore the waste of money. Can't remove.

Gave me a rash on forehead and cheeks and eyelids, this did not develop immediately, about 12 hours later. I have dry and eczema prone skin so i thought this product would be great for me but it certainly wasn’t. Looks worse than the pic and feels like dry irritated skin. I’ve tried so many skin products (cheap and high end) over the years and this type of skin reaction has rarely happened for me. Do NOT recommend this product
Very good for my sensitive skin!

Ive been using this stuff daily for over a month now, and id say its definitely becoming a staple in my skincare! Before this serum, I was using one that I had to order online. It eventually was starting to become a pain - so i decided to see if target had anything I could replace it. Interestingly, the OG vanicream - despite being known as the pinnacle of sensitive skin skincare - was also making me break out AND made my skin have a horrible burning reaction to it. Defeated, I gave up for a while. The product I ordered online had an emphasis on vitamin C, which struck out to me in this product. Decided to give it a try and im very pleased to say its been getting along with my skin very nicely!! I suppose my only complaint is I wish the bottle was at least almost as big as the OG, but honestly it lasts long enough for me that the price is fine imo. Also want to point out quick, the consistency is more on the "milky" side - which I think also helps with my sensitive skin.

After using most of a tube applying it daily, my face is noticeably brighter and some of my hyperpigmentation has faded. I have sensitive skin that's also dry, with occasional psoriasis patches around my eyebrows; this doesn't irritate my skin at all, except on those areas that are prone to psoriasis so I just avoid those areas. I will continue using this; it took a few months to see results compared to other more expensive brands I've tried that have a higher level of vit C, but this works great on my sensitive skin and works well enough for the value.

I used this serum because a few of my friends LOVE it. I used it once a day at bed time and woke up on morning 3 with a bright red face and swollen eyes. It was VERY itchy and now my red face is dry and scaly. Please test patch before putting on your face. BTW I do not have sensitive skin.

A Graham - 7 months ago, Verified purchaser
This product broke me out every time I tried it. It caused redness as well. My skin is maybe a bit sensitive, in the way that sensitive hair removal creams cause chemical burning but I’ve had little issue with strong acidic over the counter peels. This product affected my skin majorly and immediately in a negative way every time. I looked up what was in it using a skincare product analyzer after the fact and my experience seems to correlate to the flagged ingredients.
