Vitamin C Serum for Face with Retinol & Niacinamide, 2 oz | Stabilized vitamin C face serum with salicylic and hyaluronic acid that softens the look of dark spots on sensitive skin

Please do not stop making this wonderful serum. I used to use a similar one some years back and the company changed the recipe, it no longer had the salicylic acid in it, I have been without it for maybe 5 years now. This was a disaster as far as my skin was concerned. About 10 days ago, I discovered this brand. While the UK reviews here on Amazon are underwhelming, do read the ones on Amazon.com, I concur with those. In a week my skin has turned around dramatically. Sadly, this morning I picked my bottle up but I had clearly had not screwed the lid on last night after applying it at bedtime, it dropped and went everywhere in my bathroom. I have come to order another bottle and it reminded I should write a review that this is a great product. I am 61, I do not suffer from breakouts, but had greasy sallow skin in my youth, which has left some open pores, and this serum closes them up. I was also a sun worshipper when younger and have some sunspots. This serum does all that is required to make my skin glow, retinol for fine wrinkles & sun damage, salicylic acid to close and tighten my open pores while speeding up cell renewal plus vitamin C for glow and free radical protection. Please note, I normally allow at least 12 weeks to see how a new product works, so that it has time to work through the renewal of skin cells coming to the surface. I can after a week see this is what my skin loves and there is a definite turnaround in how it is looking, I, therefore, expect after 12 weeks when all cells have come to the surface & grown & regenerated when using this serum, to see a great end result. There is very little scent, it does not sting or nip, despite the fact I use a light glycolic toner before its use, and it sinks into my skin easily before I apply my other products. I am so pleased to have found this serum.

I've ordered two bottles of this so far and I'll be ordering a third/fourth soon. Been usibg it about two months now. I had no expectations of this upon ordering. Just ordered it to try after deciding to give my skin a rest from wearing foundation since I'm having to wear face masks all the time. I noticed quite quickly that my zit scars were fading. Thought maybe it was a fluke so continued using it and more scars faded. I know this stuff fades my scarring quickly. Newer scars will obviously fade faster than older ones. Also had dark marking on my upper lip corners. Possibly due to foundation drying out my skin. Not sure what caused it, but it was unsightly. That's gone now. I have quite spot-prone skin. Prone to oiliness with dry patches. I've had zero negative reaction from this, but my skin is fairly robust after experimenting with salicylic acid and other acids in the past. Definitely doesn't cause breakouts for me. Wouldn't say it stops them either, but it has cleared my skin and improved the appearance. My skin looks better than it has in ages. I've had spots and acne scarring since I was 12. Just wish the bottle was bigger. Though it does last me 3/4 weeks. I use it religiously morning and night. I want to try it on my legs, because I have some weird dark patchy scarring on them and those dark strawberry spots that I can't get rid of. I'll see how it goes. This stuff may not be for everyone, but I wouldn't be without it now. This stuff works well for me. Edit: It helping to fade my strawberry legs as well (along with an African Sponge).

IF UNSURE OF WHETHER TO BUY PLS READ WHOLE REVIEW! (sorry its so long but worth it!) okay so I don't usually leave reviews because I forget haha but I thought I should as it seems people are only saying its a miracle product or that its the serum from hell, and I know that can be very confusing for someone who is new to skincare. I bought this product a couple of weeks ago after weighing up the positive and negative reviews and I'm not gonna lie, at first my skin did break out. I have reactive combination skin to a T, very oily in the t-zone but very dry especially in winter on my cheeks. I stopped using it for a week as initially as I thought it must just be a bad product HOWEVER I decided to try again to see if it really was my skin reacting badly to the product or whether the breakout was simply a purging phase and to my delight that was the case. Now, three days later having used it every morning since Tuesday I can confidently say it has made my pores look smaller and in general my skin is now a lot clearer and softer. I can't speak for others as it may not be good for people with very sensitive skin but this product does work for me!! It does have a strong scent but it doesn't linger after application. Store it in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight as it contains vitamin C which can become unstable when regularly exposed to sunlight (ideally a cupboard). IMPORTANT: Please seek guidance from skincare specialists (there are loads of great ppl on youtube if you can't see a dermatologist) on what ingredients are safe to use together and are safe for you skin type before purchasing. Start by only using a pea-sized amount avoiding your under-eye area as that is the most sensitive part of your face. I would also advise not to use it every day, (I'm only using it from Tuesday-Saturday in the mornings), especially not twice a day, be sure to follow up with a moisturiser and SPF 50+ and to make sure you are not using other products alongside that may react badly with this. If your skin is stinging badly/is really irritated then stop using immediately, wash it off, apply a cream like diprobase to the inflamed area and only use the most basic and gentle products to heal your moisture barrier for the week or so. If you're only experiencing a few breakouts then I'd advise you to leave it a few days or even a week and then trying it again, or perhaps seeing it through as your skin may just be purging (basically a reaction to using a new active ingredient which is increasing skin cell turnover rate). As I said in the headline, please be cautious of the fact that not all products will work for everyone! It's important to be aware of your skin type and what products are recommended for such types, but even so just because something is recommended for your skin type doesn't mean it will work for you as each and every one of us is different! Hope this helps someone <3

Scent is very tea tree, I’m not too worried about the style or packaging, I wanted it to clear and brighten my skin and hopefully help some of my fine lines and wrinkles. Have only been using intermittently for about 10 days because of the ‘retinoid uglies’. It can sting and burn if used too frequently to begin with, so I’m using 3 times a week to build up tolerance with lots of thick, night moisturiser. This helps the drying effect and peeling. But, it’s worth it... already noticed less fine lines, spots are clearing and fewer blackheads. I can imagine in a few months, that my skin will be much clearer, smoother and less wrinkled. It’s already so much softer and clearer, can’t wait to see how it is by summer months. Oh, and make sure you wear a moisturiser with a good SPF if using this- retinol makes the skin very vulnerable to sun damage and burning.

Have used 3 times in a week. My skin has been peeling for 4 days. Has made my skin sore around the creases of my nose. I will reduce to once a week now. I have some large spots on my chin, not sure if its cystic acne or ingrown hairs, thought this would help reduce the swelling, however it has healed the skin over the spot but the skin is thicker and whatever is in the spot is still in there under the skin in a large bump, i have now damaged my skin by peeling the new skin off so i can get the puss out as i dont want that left under my skin, learnt over the years if you dont get the puss out, it doesnt go anywhere and stays under the skin until it comes back to haunt you, once you get it out, the spot will heal. So this stuff will be good to help prevent new spots, as advertised, but wont help get rid of current infected spots under the skin, just heal the skin over the top. Wish my skin would stop peeling, havent used it for 4 days. Hopefully theres nice new skin underneath, skin does feel a bit softer.

I have basically never had a skincare routine besides getting my makeup off with moisturiser, rinsing the residue off then another round of clean moisturiser… I do have very soft skin as a result! but I’ve realised I’m 39 and I probably need to do some serious damage control for the wrinkles and frown lines because I scowl a lot whilst I’m yelling at my work laptop. To be honest there’s so many products and different how to guides it’s all baffling, so when I came across this serum and it mentioned several things in one I thought I’d give it a go! I have now gotten into a routine of at the very least washing my face then applying the serum followed by moisturiser. The consistency is watery (looks a bit dodgy) so it sinks in really quickly, it doesn’t feel at all tacky or sticky. Within literally a minute or so it’s absorbed. It does have a smell and normally I can’t wear anything with a strong smell but this is quite pleasant. As you only need a small amount to cover your face it’s not too strong, just don’t put it too near your eyes (underneath is fine but leave a little gap between your eyelash line & the eye bag area). I used a small bottle and have now bought a bigger one, and also one for my mum. To me I’d say the benefits are my skin does seem a bit glowier & less dull, & I had some sun spots (darn being so pale, swear they just appeared one day from walking home without spf on) which have faded slightly. I’ll continue to use this and I’m also going to try the collagen peptide one.

I had to go doctors after it burnt my skin after 1 use

Has a watery consistency and isn't gel like which I liked because it absorbed onto the skin and didn't leave any tackiness. It will run down your face when applying so apply it sparingly as the product is very sheer and its easy to accidentally drench yourself in it. Don't put it around your eye area, I didn't listen to the other reviews and I learnt my lesson. I really love this product. For the first 2 weeks of me using this I broke out heavily but as soon as the breakup started healing I realised that it had cleared my pores out and my skin texture was changing from rough and uneven to smooth. Underneath my skin there was a lot of congestion that hadn't come to surface yet so I don't believe I broke out due to irritation but instead I purged. My skin was very red and irritated but this only lasted for under a week and it stopped happening when I reduced usage to once every 2 or 3 days. It didn't do anything at all for my inflamed acne, so thats why I have had to move from use of this product to prescribed differin & benzoyl peroxide which I can no longer mix with this. But for people with really mild acne thats mainly blackheads and smaller spots I think this product would be really nice. It has loads of really nice ingredients and the nianciamide was definitely appreciated as I have alot of previous scarring.

I have used a few different serums, and by far this is one of the most lightweight serums I have come across. Generally, they leave the skin heavy feeling or a greasy feeling, or they take forever to spread as they are a thicker consistency. The serum is simple and straightforward to use, shake well and apply a small amount to your face and neck. Make sure not to overdo it as Hyaluronic Acid can and will burn if over-applied especially to sensitive skin types. I have been using this for over a week now. On the first few days, it tingled a bit as I figured out the right amount. Caused no pain or discomfort nor did I have a reaction with sensitive skin, no red spots or itching. I also found on my third day I had a small break out around my chin and nose area. This is common when one switches products. It only took two days and it all calmed down. Now I am seeing less acne than before. Now if you are like me and have sensitive skin make sure you are always following with a nice hydrating moisturizer. This just helps keep everything hydrated and balanced. Pros: - Lightweight - Helps with Acne - Helps with fine lines over time (this can take anywhere from 30 to 90 days to see fine line results) - 3 bottle system helps keep backups on hand - Spreads very easily - Vitamin C will help the appearance of the skin - I have found it helps with the texture of the skin, mine is a bit softer - I also noticed it helps with oily skin Cons: - Strong herb smell - Will be hard to use if you have eczema as it may burn Overall I really like this serum and the benefits it offers, and if it keeps helping with my adult acne then this is a huge win for myself. And the price is a heck of a deal for three bottles when most store-bought or higher brands are well above and beyond this set.

Benutze es seit zwei Wochen, anfangs ca 2Tage hat es auf den Wangen etwas gebrannt das hat dann nachgelassen. Ich kann definitiv feststellen das es etwas mit der Haut bewirkt, die Haut fühlt sich etwas gespannt an und momentan habe ich ein paar trockene Stellen im Gesicht die aber auch weniger werden. Ich weiß das man grade bei Retinol etwas länger warten muss bis die Haut sich daran gewöhnt hat und man am Ende das Ergebnis sehen kann. Ich kann auch jetzt nach zwei Wochen Anwendung (täglich morgends abends/ Sonnenschutz nicht vergessen!) eine positive Veränderung sehen und spüren. Ich werde es wieder kaufen.

Very good product. Good value for money. Had a bout of dry skin for several months and tried many serums n face creams to no avail. After reading so many positive feedback comments, I thought why no give this a try and it has helped to brighten my complexion and smoothen out the bumps n dryness. Give it a try n you will not regret it!! 6 stars !!!

El producto llegó antes de lo esperado y en excelentes condiciones, no tiene caja pero venía sellado y con protección plástica. Me gusta mucho como me deja la piel, he notado en solo 8 días algo de reducción de manchitas pequeñas y claras, así que espero que siga trabajando bien. Eso sí no huele muy bonito, huele como a muchas hierbas en caldo 😂 pero el olor se quita en cuanto se seca y no da problemas. Es un olor muy "natural" por decirlo de algún modo. En general me parece un muy buen producto.

I’ve been using this Vitamin C serum for over a year now, and it has made my skin feel soft and smooth. I haven’t experienced any breakouts, which is a big plus for me. The scent is mild and not overpowering. Overall, I would definitely recommend it and plan to repurchase it.
