Effective Serum in a Pretty (But Wasteful) Package
This is quite a nice serum, and my skin feels good when I use it. The ingredients agree with my skin and have caused no problems. I like it as much for what it is not as for what it is - no parabens, sulfates, phthalates, or gluten, and no animal testing. It is also "vegan-friendly." Does that mean it's vegan, or it just waves to vegans that pass by? Odd phrase that could be clearer to me.It doesn't take much of this product every morning and night, just a couple of drops. There is a fluid ounce of the serum, approximately 2 tablespoons, so at a couple of drops at a time, it lasts quite awhile. It comes in a very pretty package. It's a pump bottle but the tube-shaped product is encased in a clear plastic (acrylic?) tube. However, I would prefer plainer packaging that doesn't contribute quite as much waste to landfills.Overall, this is a very nice serum for those who like to use serums on their face. And I've become a fan.

works well, feels great going on... doubles as a moisturizer..
Great packaging! Love the look of the product in the pump... very classy, kudos!Now... I have been using C serums on and off for years... I do think they work...but lets get real, nothing beats a plastic surgeon, so u need to have realistic expectations...after a week, I notice slight reductions in fine lines, which is quite impressive for just a week...part of the reason, I think..is because this feels like a moisturizer as well as a C serum... it also feels great after applying it...if I did not read the label, I would suspect it was a moisturizer...so far, this is the best feeling C Serum I have tried...Another reviewer mentioned its really a peel... IMO, all Serums are mild peels, as Vit C is acidid..its not a hardcore peel like u would get at doc office, instead, it prob. just removes dead skin faster than not using it...Overall, a great product that u will use regularly, as it doubles as a moisturizer...I deducted one star... hoping the ingredient list has more natural ingredients....but in all fairness, I have not reacted to the product in any way...

Skin issues make this a Not Recommended for me
I was hoping to like this serum--I've been looking for a vitamin c topical treatment for a while, and given the reviews of this product I was hoping it would fit the bill.The serum itself is a light-weight cream, easy to apply and in gorgeous packaging.Unfortunately for me, my skin had a bad reaction and I ended up breaking out after using it. I waited a couple of weeks after the first breakout and removed all new products I had been using to see if it was another product or a combination of products, but I broke out again when only using this serum. I will continue my search for vitamin c elsewhere.

When I was growing up, we called this wrinkle cream; now it is an elegant "serum".
This almost got no stars because I couldn't get the pump to work and I didn't think the top could be screwed off. After I unscrewed the top, air got in and the pump started working; just common physics.I used it three nights in a row after my bath and reapplied before bed. It is not an icky night cream that gets everywhere including your eyes. It applies extremely easily and washes off fine in the morning. I already use sunscreen in the morning under my make-up so I can't tell you how it works under foundation.I hate to say this but I really like how the bottle looks on my counter too. There is no price on Amazon, but I think it is around $30. I think.

Light and moisturizing
At first, I wasn't sure I liked this product. It felt lighter, less substantial than the last moisturizer I was using. But perfect for summer, since I didn't need as much heavy cream-type moisturizer as when the constant dry heat is blowing in the house. It goes on a little...glossy. Not really greasy but not creamy, either. It's like it glosses your skin for a moment before fading in. I've been using it on my face and décolletage. Though I haven't noticed any fierce battles against free radicals (darn you, free radicals!) or evening out of my skin tone, I do like the way my face feels and looks once the moisturizer has soaked into my skin.

Smoother, healthier looking skin
I've been a tad bit prone to oily skin forever, and was a Proactiv user in my teenage years. Since then I've waffled in and out of regular face washes, face lotions with SPF, Vitamin C serums, Hyaluronic acid serums, and this one is a perfect mixture of all the things I wanted and needed.I've been struggling with some acne recently and even so this has helped improve my complexion and reduce unhappy spots. I was able to eliminate a salicylic acid lotion and replace it with this, improve my skin feel, look and color. Very pleased with this product.

Good stuff...
I have had success with similar facial products before and this is the first one that does not irritate/burn. You could almost be fooled into thinking it's just a good moisturizer. Still I use it only a few times a week and I have noticed clearer, smooth skin and trouble spots have improved. I like it and will continue using it.

Great under my makeup
I use this after I cleanse my face and it makes my face feel smoother and softer. I really love the pump because I have long nails and jars are difficult for me to get product out and not get in under my nails. This is easy and quick to use.
