Advanced Vitamin C Serum White Orange

I love this ingeniously packaged C serum. The really good vitamin C serums need to be refrigerated and it loses its potency by changing color over time as it oxidizes and it just takes that extra effort to apply it. I don't know about others but I have to use extra mental energy every time I use a vitamin C serum. I have to take it out of the fridge and make sure it doesn't drip, etc. Now this one comes in a fun syringe style bottle so air doesn't get introduced to it. It's easy to apply and absorbs easily. I thought the packaging was gimmicky at first, but it's ingenious. Vitamin C is an important part of skincare and I'm so happy to have found this one.

This is extremely gentle for a Vit C. It would be an excellent first step as you add Vit C to your routine, because Vit C can me quite irritating when you first start using it, especially for fair skinned freckled faces like me. As you can see from the ingredient list (posted pic) the first ingredient is water. Then a derivative of coconut oil. Followed by an agent that makes the sseum highly spreadable. Then you finally get to Vit C. I dont think this is as potent as my normal Vit C serum (RD Alchemy) but it is so gentle and more like a lotion than a serum that I would absolutely recommend this as your first stepping stone to a more potent vit c serum. Plus, I love the "shot" application/container both because it keeps the vit c stable by minimizing contact with light and air, and is also just super cute and fun.

This serum arrived very well packaged and contains two 11ml/0.37 fl. oz injection syringes. Each one has an outside cap in addition to a more fitted rubber cap for the end of the syringe. It seems very well-sealed when not in use which is very important to preserve Vitamin C. All the research indicates that Vitamin C starts losing it effectivity when it's exposed to the air. The more high-end (and expensive) products containing Vitamin C come in packaging that is geared towards minimizing exposure to air. The scent is very subtle and clean, with a faint citrus smell.

How it Works for Me: I applied a small amount of this serum on my skin and it was absorbed very quickly, leaving my skin feeling silky and supple right away. I will continue to use this nightly but I already love how it makes my skin feel. If it works at fading my dark spots as Vitamin C is touted to do, it would be well worth the price. It is a good value as compared to higher-end products that profess to do the same thing. If you use it during the day, be sure to follow-up with a good SPF or this could accelerate burning of your skin. For this reason, I prefer the nighttime application.

My girlfriend and I have been using this Vitamin C serum for three weeks. There is little odor and it applies and rubs in much easier than other Vitamin C products that we have tried. It is light weight, absorbs quickly, and does not feel greasy. We do not notice any appearance differences with our skin but it does feel soft after use. One of the syringes was initially jammed and I needed to use a hammer to free it up. It works fine now but was firmly frozen.

Overall we both prefer using this vitamin C over our normal ones - this one applies clean and easy.

So glad I purchased this product it's exactly what my skin needs! Don't hesitate to buy it. This is my favorite serum!
