This product broke me out. I should have known better than to try a product which is mostly sticky, useless Vitamin E. As other reviewers have stated, this stuff smells terrible, which may be why it contains lime oil, an irritant which smells nice but conveys no skin benefits. Each capsule contains much more product than can be used at one time, so it is both smelly and wasteful. I made the mistake of rubbing the excess all over my neck and chest, which left me looking like I had the pox.

I was looking for something with Vitamin C, and the packaging of this product is perfect for preventing oxidation, but the potency of the Vitamin C is questionable. Other Vitamin C treatments have left me with an immediate glow, but this left my skin in a terrible, irritated spotty state.This stuff is probably only suited for mature skin that has no issues with sensitivity.

This product is FANTASTIC!!!...Smell doesn't bother me at all...I think I actually like it...I use the whole capsule every night on my face...Give it at least two weeks before u see the real results...My skin is way brighter and healthier looking...Definitely smoother to touch...Texture of my skin improved a lot...Skin feels firmer and more tout...I can’t wait to see what it will to my skin after 45 days...There is nothing oily and greasy about this product...The finish after application is silky and dewy...Absorbs very nicely...I am a skin therapist and tried many I mean many products...This one is on top of my list!

I have been using these capsules for years now, since I discovered the Dermalogica brand. The packaging is necessary, as the integrity of the Vit C is preserved by the individual capsules. They improve my skin tone in just one use,I can use them to calm or to hydrate and there's this glow the next morning...now I admit there's a silicone feel to the product,when you first apply you have to wait quite awhile for it to sink in, and I do feel that there's a bit of it wasted on my pillowcase-but then I have never tried to be saving and use one capsule stretched out over more than one application. Anyway I love these I just love my skin the next morning so any slick feeling I get after application is not a problem.

This didn't absorb into my skin very well. It just kind of sat on the surface and made me look oily. After finishing the entire container, I didn't notice any improvement to my complexion at all. It's very nicely packaged although each capsule contains too much for a single use so there's a fair bit of wastage.

I've had an obession abo utdermalogica the past few months . But now i realise that it was merely an introduction to discovering semi- natural skincare. Excellent skin range with interesting ingredients (just wish they'd leave out the parabens and cones) This neat little tin with 45 vitamin busting capsules is a treat for anyone who is in need of a radiant and glowing complexion. Each capsule goes a long way (up to 3 applications if you want to be consevative) I personally loved the smell which can be described as a rich, warm cocoa/vanilla scent. Left my skin rested and brightened each morning. To be used as a special night treat only.

An expensive mistake! The product doesn't do much and would NOT recommend for oily or combination skin as you wake up with a thick layer of sebum/oil on your skin. Perhaps it would hydrate nicely an extremely dry skin but I doubt it would go further than that. Try a sample.

The capsule size seems like the incorrect size to me. I would prefer a small serum bottle with a pump so that I could use a small amount only in the areas I choose. The product is too much for most of my face and caused me to break out (but I do have acne prone skin).

I got two capsules as a sample and they certainly evoked my curiosity. The consistency felt quite unpleasant at first and the smell was repellent (fortunately neither of these effects lasted long), but I loved what it did to my skin! I used it overnight and the next morning my skin wasn't its normal taut & flaky self but soft and plump and glowing! I just had to order the whole tin online. Not going to use it daily - I think 2-3 times a week should do the job - it'll last longer and be more worth the money.

I nearly purchased this for AUS 85.00 for the 45 caps....putting blind faith into this product and luckily the sales assistant insisted that i try a couple of samples before i bought, as she thought it might be too strong for my young skin. I am terribly relieved i did as i wasn't very impressed with these at all. I had been using SATURNE regenerating cream by ASTRALI (AUS 140.00) which i had to unfortunately skip buying this month as it's so expensive (it does last up to three months though)....and after the VERY FIRST night of using one of these caps on my face, i woke up so unimpressed, and wishing so badly i could have my beloved ASTRALI, really it doesn't even compare. It made my VERY light freckles look like age spots! It didn't make me wake up refreshed looking, just 'meh'. I can't emphasize how much there are better things out there....and for the same cost or less.....try ASTRALI SATURNE regenerating night cream, it is a god-sent. MUCH better for your skin than these caps...even MUCH better than dermalogica's super rich repair.||| Astrali dot com dot au ||| I hope i don't sound like an advocate....i am a genuine consumer giving genuine advice here!

I really like this product and how it works on my skin. It is really seems to make my skin glow and smells like vitamin-c. It doesn't make me break out either with surprised me due to it's fatty consistency.

These are very expensive considering they only last around 45 days. I like the capsule idea as it keeps the product fresh. I don't think it has a particularly potent mix of antioxidants. I prefer to use either Paula's Choice Antioxidant serum or a homemade vitamin C serum (both much cheaper).

Just tries this MV concentrate capsule last night. No miracle, no radiance, nothing! Am I expecting too much in the first place? No, I don't think so. The silicone feels weird on my skin upon application. The smell is weird too. My bumps didn't go down. I have 4 more capsules to go before I pass my final verdict so we'll just have to see how it all goes.

I have a love-hate relationship with these capsules. I love what they do to my skin, loading it with antioxidants and leaving it glowing (my skin is dry and a bit sensitive). What I don't like, however, is the slippery feeling they leave behind, due to the massive amount of silicone contained. Also, the smell is nauseating. But I will repurchase, as it's a good way of getting vit. C without the irritation.

This stuff is really effective. It's hydrating and the organic silicone base makes a nice base for makeup. I use the samples often, but I don't know if I would buy, as the price tag is pretty high, and one capsule = about 1.5 applications (2 if you are very conservative).

I am very fond of this as a product - it does exactly what it says on the tin. It adds moisture to the skin, makes it seem firmer and appears to help with mild scarring and sun damage. It works brilliantly as a night cream used on its own or under a moisturiser; I personally wouldn't use it any more than once a day as I think your skin would get too used to the help. I have used this when my skin has been sensitive, when it has been spotty, when it has been dry and all the times in between and it has always made a noticeable difference. One for everyone's goodie cupboard!

I really love these! I love the individual capsules, love the smell, love the feel. Do you see a theme here? :-) I noticed a difference with 1 use. But, I use these 2-3x a week. (My skin is Combo/Oily/Acne-Prone/NOT sensitive)

I think these are fantastic. I use one every three days as a nightime treatment and my face feels smooth and free of redness in the a.m. They're full of vitamins and essential oils that help with redness, firmness and elasticity. They aren't cheap though...about $50 U.S. for 45.

I don't know whether I like this product. I like the idea of capsules, hygienic and easy to use, the product itself seems OK too. Snip the capsule and gently apply the yellowish serum onto skin, my first thought was...eww..oily...but actually it's just sort of slippery. It leaves my skin feels smooth and silky, does it actually helps at all? i'm not sure, didn't try to rinse it off and see if my skin was just coated with silicones *sigh* I use the Barrier repair on top of this which intensify the slipperiness *cringe* I find it better than EL Idealist refinisher though. I don't use it everyday, only 2-3 times per week. AU$78 for 45 capsules
