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 liked the product but after 3 days of using it my face got really itchy and I woke up with hives on my jaw like. If you have sensitive skin stay away

Meh.
Can't really tell if it works or not, doesn't seem to be like the product for me. Also the smell is horrendous. If this is an added fragrance, please stop for the sake of our noses.

Good Brightener
I purchased this to brighten my dull skin and lighten some dark spots and even my skin tone. I am very happy with the results. I have lots of sun spots on my chest and they have definitely lightened from using this product.

Dropper Applicator is the WORST!!
The applicator doesn’t work! It’s complete crap!! As for the product itself, it’s sticky and not worth the hassle of the broken applicator. Not a fan!! Will not buy again!

Worst dropper ever
The serum seems to be fine - except WHY DO YOU ADD FRAGRANCE???? Fragrance is a no-no for many, many of your customers. And the worst part - the dropper/applicator... No matter how many times I press the top, it barely picks up a drop or two. Why don't you use the same kind of dropper as your other serums? This is a horrible design.

Serum is good but I don't like the packaging
I was on the lookout for an affordable Vit C serum that was clear in colour and being a huge elf fan, I didnt hesitate to buy this product. Unfortunately, the bottle is poor design so it makes actually using the product very difficult. It doesn't matter how many times I press down on the button, no more than a tiny drop of serum fills the dropper. I think a normal pump bottle would have made more sense.

Been using for over a month
I added this to my morning skincare routine. The dropper is a little awkward to use, but I drop 3 - 4 drops into my palm and use my fingertips on my other hand to dip into the product and apply to my skin. It absorbs quickly. I wait until it is fully absorbed before applying my moisturizer and then my makeup. I have seen a visible reduction in redness since using this, and there are many days where I don’t even use foundation/concealer. I’m so glad I added the VitaminC serum to my routine!

Not for me
I was hoping that adding this serum to my routine would help even out my skin tone. Unfortunately I seem to be allergic to it and my eyes swelled horribly after a couple days use!

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.
