Joanna Vargas Vitamin C Serum for Face with Squalane Oil - Collagen Boosting Facial Serums for Aging Skin - Rescue Vit C Serum for Face - Hydrating Serum to Enchance Skin Texture & Boost Radiance

I am loving vitamin C serums these days for brightening and moisturizing. I have what can be considered "mature" skin, and Joanna Vargas has become one of my all-time favorite skincare lines. This product is super nice for daytime use. The serum is very light and watery, smells fantastic. It absorbs instantly; it's kind of amazing how quickly it soaks in. Works well layered with other moisturizers but feels refreshing and hydrating on its own. It's really nice! Yet another winner from Joanna Vargas!

If you tend to have a dry complexion, this might be the Vitamin C serum for you because it is less a serum and more of an oil. As I have aged, my skin has become drier so having a Vitamin C product that also moisturizes keeps my complexion looking bright and smooth. The hydration this serum provides makes my wrinkles less pronounced. This serum is thin, like an oil, so you have to be careful when dispensing because it is easy to spill. For being an oil, this serum absorbs well and doesn't leave my face looking greasy.The 2 things that prevent me from giving this serum 5 stars is 1.) the scent and 2.) the price. While the scent is not horrible, a little floral mixed with almost a baby powder scent, I am not a huge fan of scented facial products. I see in the ingredient list that this has added fragrance and just have to ask why??? Also, the price for this serum is steep. I find it hard to justify spending over $100 on a product when spending a third would give you similar results.All that being said, if you have money to burn and don't mind a scented facial product, this is a very nice serum especially if you tend to have a drier complexion.

Lately I have more protective of my skin since I have to deal with excessive amounts of sun, daily. I am learning more about the benefits of Vitamin C on the skin and have sought it out to provide additional protection and find that this product is much more comfortable to use than others I have seen. This soaks in nicely and leaves my skin looking fresh and youthful, without leaving a skin tint or any stinging. This smells nice and not too strong.

Update: My esthetician noticed a change in my skin! She asked what I was doing and said the texture and tone in my face was amazing. This stuff works!This is a nice serum. I have noticed my skin looking brighter and more even. It's good. Probably one of the best I've tried.I love how on the package they note that you need to use it within 60 days. Vitamin C formulas are known for oxidizing and losing potency. It's nice for a company to actually acknowledge that.There are a few drawbacks though. First is the price. When I picked this up it was currently listed for $150 for 1oz. That's quite a lot. Also, the packaging is slick but not very functional. The top of the lid is supposed to take up the product in the glass tube inside, but the bottle is kind of top heavy and the neck is long and awkward. Makes for a clunky experience in trying to get the product out, which can waste the product and at that super high price point, I don't want to waste any!The serum is oil-based, which is different from a lot I've tried. It absorbs quickly and I haven't had any issues with any product I've used after it not absorbing into my skin, but I thought I'd note that. The serum also sort of smells like fabric softener, which is not really a smell I think of when I think of high end skin care.Overall, this stuff is really freaking nice. But the price, the functionality of the packaging and the scent would deter me from replacing it once it's gone.

This was a super nice serum. It absorbs quickly (it feels like seconds) and doesn't bother my skin. It feels really silky when you put it on.It has a light scent that is sort of floral to me, but it's not very heavy or bothersome. If you can't take perfumes at all, you may not like it. I tend to prefer unscented, or it has to at least not be too noticeable. I would say the scent lingers for a couple of minutes.I'd say this is one of the better serums I've tried overall. Probably the best, as long as you don't mind the scent.

I really am not super pleased about the price of this serum, though it is definitely a nice one. I just don't think my opinion of this brand is high enough with the products on their own, after all of the super heavy marketing around the joanna vargas name. The serum works okay, it's low irritation compared to most vitamin c skin products for my skin, there's hardly a scent, and though I would like the absorption to be a little quicker it's pretty average/okay/standard for this step of skincare. I just didn't find myself that impressed with it to think it justifies the cost. Still a good product, just not perfection itself.

Though this product is more scented than I usually like, I really do like the smell. It's a bit oily for daytime use, but for nighttime...it's chef's kiss. My skin is so much more soft and smooth in the morning and I really am seeing a difference in my texture and tone. The dropper is a bit challenging to use after you use the product since it gets really slippery, but it's a minor issue for a product that my skin looks this good after using.

This serum has a perfume-like scent but it's very pleasant. The serum tends to feel very oily on my skin and is slow to absorb, so I've had to reduce the amount to one quick pump for my entire face. I tested this on the back of my hands, it did not feel oily at all and adsorbed nearly instantly. In fact, my hands never looked so good. The skin on my hands is far drier than the skin on my face, so if you have dry skin you'll probably love this.On the plus side, this does not sting,as some vitamin C serums do. It has brightened and softened my skin. I've been using this twice a day to test it, but wail start using it only at night j and use very little.I think its a good serum, but I think it's more suitable for drier skin.
