I bought this because my favourite beauty blogger reviewed it positively. It's quite pricey for a student like me (~$35 before shipping) but I have some stubborn dark PIH that just won't go away...

It's much too early to tell on this, as I've only used it for one night; however, I just put it on my face a second time. From what I can tell, my face has evened out slightly. Before thinking that...

I'm now on my third bottle of this and it's definitely HG for me now. I have a really, really hard time finding a vitamin c serum my skin will tolerate. Normally they break me out something awful....

This is a great vitamin C serum for those who can't tolerate L-Ascorbic Acid. For some reason, LAA always breaks me out. This serum uses Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, which is the same vitamin C form...

After it is absorbed my skin feels really dry and inflexible. Even if the vitamin C effects would improve my skin over time, I don't think it is worth it.

I really like this C serum. Absorbs well and agrees with my tendency to be oily, but some won't like the not so moisturizing side. Has improved my skin tone and really enjoy using this... lovely...

I like that this serum is light and is packed with awesome ingredients. It goes on smoothly, but has a tendency to pill if you try to layer products over it too soon. I recommend waiting at least...

This is well priced but i find it to be only marginally effective. If you are used to using high efficacy skincare, i'm not sure if this will do much for you. I still find 15% vit C and the...
