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.

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!

Bad smell, no results
Was really excited to try this vitamin c but unfortunately I haven’t seen any results good enough to put up with the SCENT of this product. it smells so bad and it’s so strong. i’m not a fan of wasting products so I will be using it until the end but will not be repurchasing.
