Love this serum!
I ordered this as soon as it came out and wanted to wait to write a review after using it for a while. Background on my skin type: I'm in my early 30s with fair, sensitive skin. I tried it in both the morning and evening and think I like it more with my evening routine. After I wash my face, I pat dry it and apply a witch hazel toner. After letting that dry, I put a few drops of the Vitamin C serum on my fingertips and massage it on my face and neck. After that is absorbed, I use the Massaging Overnight Recovery Cream. (which I also love!) I have noticed my skin tone is a lot more even and looks more supple. It is hydrating and adsorbs very quickly. It does not leave my skin tacky or sticky at all. This is lightly scented, like a soft citrus, but it is not overpowering. I do not have much experience with skin serums, but this is a good product for someone who wants to try a new skin product in their routine.

Almost a steal
I bought it half a year ago but only started using it regularly recently. It is a great product, and it is definitely helping my skin out. The beneficial ingredients are at high enough proportions to actually make a difference. HOWEVER, adding fragrance is completely unnecessary in a serum. Many studies have shown that fragrance can actually really irritate the skin- which goes completely against the point of a serum. Please take away the fragrance, and I will definitely change this review to 5 stars.

I’ve been using this for a couple weeks and my skin looks way brighter. it feels light and sinks in fast, not sticky at all. the scent is nice but not too strong. honestly didn’t expect much, but it turned out really good. definitely keeping it in my routine.

Really waste of money
Beware
I just purchased this product and after two days of use and terrible reaction my face broke out in the rash, and it felt like my skin was burnt I did not apply to around my eyes only on my face and yet my under my eyes were all swollen so just be careful. I’ve never had a product do this to me ever !

Smells Odd, Good Serum
Serum is great, but it smells weird. I usually shake it before applying & mix together with a moisturizer to offset the scent. Will continue to use until it’s empty, but won’t purchase again unless the smell is improved somehow.

Worked
When I say this worked I mean it. It made some dark spots on my face get so much lighter in a manner of weeks. Worth it all the way.

Can you please list the % of Vitamin C? Other answers given say its a trade secret but I think its important for people to know. Some people have sensitive skin and need lower amounts like 5, 10%. Over 20% it really not necessary.
