Best brightening serum!

I love this brightening serum! It is so lightweight & easy to apply. I love that it doesn’t have a horrible smell like other vitamin c drums I’ve tried. Highly recommend if you want a lightweight serum that works!

Great invention

I really loved the build in dropper and the formulas was great sometimes products like this can leave your skin feeling oily but not this product I love it !!!!

Great serum

I received the elf Skin-Bright Icon Vitamin C + E + Ferulic Serum in exchange for my honest review through BzzAgent program. I am honestly surprised at how much I liked the serum, I really loved that it was very easy to apply, a little bit goes a long way, it’s not sticky or greasy and absorbs very well. After a few uses I could tell my skin looked brighter and my blemish marks were less noticeable. The only thing I was not a big fun of is the smell, it was not that bad or strong but I did not like it, the first time I used it I felt like I smelled it the whole day, so I decided to apply less and let it absorb a bit more before applying anything else on my face and that made a huge difference. Will definitely purchase!

Try at your own risk!

So I genuinely do like this item for MY skin, no irritation, no itching and no bumps! I love the feeling of the serum, because this is the texture that works best for my skin! I don’t actually mind the smell because anything stronger would have meant additives, etc. and my $130 Vitamin C smells EXACTLY the same!! I would recommend this— but try a sample first and make sure it works for your skin, if it doesn’t, there is always more dupes!

The smell....

I received this product to review and honestly it's a definite no for me. The smell alone from the serum was a complete turn off, but I wanted to give it a chance. The serum is sticky on my face and it actually started tingling on me which I know is not supposed to happen. I have slightly sensitive skin and this reaction was almost instant. It is a definite no for me.

Elf did it again! Must have in skincare routine

Pros: • Visible notice in skin glow & radiance plus even better looking results after longer use (see before/after photo just on hand) • Pairs so good under moisturizer, sunscreen, & makeup • Great dupe for the $182 Skinceuticals C E serum • Squeeze dropper (mini size) or push button click dropper (regular size) makes it super easy to control amount & apply evenly • Hasn’t irritated my sensitive dry skin • The affordable price is a given I mean c’mon - $8 for the mini or $16 for the large bottle (mini only on ELF’s website) • No lasting greasy or oily residue • Better glow than mostly every other vitamin C serums I’ve tried • Good consistency with clean ingredients • Very light dark spots on my face have almost disappeared & evened out skin tone tremendously • Leaves skin feeling smooth, tight, & hydrated all in one • Glass bottle with sleek look Cons/Neutral: • Different smell kind of earthy or herbal wood with hard to describe undertone but dissipates immediately after applying • Light sticky residue at first but mostly goes away after rubbing in & completely goes away after moisturizer and/or sunscreen • Dropper tube catches light air bubbles occasionally • If you use hyaluronic acid serum first make sure that completely dries before putting this on or it will lightly pill - ONLY noticed with hyaluronic acid serum twice & it was really because I was rushing my AM routine those 2 times so I didn’t let my first step serum dry before applying this (did not notice any other times or with any other serums) Overall rating: I’d give it a 4.5/5 stars without a doubt! The pros list far outweighs the cons/neutral list imo especially with the results I’ve been noticing. I’d say it compares to the expensive high end brands. It’s definitely included in my regular routine now. I will be purchasing the regular size bottle when my mini is gone. I hope this works well for anybody in the market for a vitamin C serum!

Affordable, effective, and cruelty-free

I’m so impressed with this serum! The e.l.f. Vitamin C + E + Ferulic Acid Serum has become a staple in my skincare routine. It absorbs quickly, feels lightweight, and leaves my skin looking noticeably brighter and more even-toned. I love that it combines powerful antioxidants like Vitamin C and E with ferulic acid, which you usually only see in much more expensive products. After just a couple of weeks of consistent use, my skin looks more radiant and feels smoother. There's no sticky residue, and it layers beautifully under moisturizer and sunscreen.

Wanted to love but couldn’t get past the smell

I love the packaging and the product itself. Felt great on the skin but the smell. To me it smelled like bacon. I could smell it on my face all day. Even my husband commented on the smell.
