Vitamin C Serum 2 Fl Oz with Vitamin E, Ferulic Acid & Green Tea For Anti Aging, Anti-Wrinkle Face, Eye Area, Wrinkles, Fine Lines, Dark Circles and Puffiness

Great buy!! Very happy with product.

Not only do I get excited that they're done right, it seems like I always end up writing a huge essay on Vitamin C itself instead of a review. So I'll try not to do that here, although there will be a little bit about why this is done the right way.Tons of Vitamin C is out there from tons of different brands. The thing is, unless it's done right, you're basically just doing nothing more than slapping water on your face, no matter how much you've paid for it. This Vit C from Tropical Holistic states right on the label the TWO most important things you need to have in order for Vit C to WORK on your skin. It has to contain not only Vit C, but it also has to contain Vitamin E and Ferulic Acid. Both of those work in conjunction with the Vit C to help it penetrate the skin deep enough to work on the activating the cellular structures you're trying to target and they help slow down the oxygenation/degradation of the Vitamin C itself. There are several forms of Vitamin C you can use in skin care, but I think the best one is L-ascorbic acid, which is what this contains. It does have a few drawbacks, which are that it oxidizes and as it does so it becomes less effective. The Vit. E & Ferulic Acid help slow that process down somewhat, but it still happens. Vit C serums should be light yellow or clear when you get them. If they are a dark yellow/orange color they are very oxidized and thus, less effective. This comes in a dropper form, which isn't my favorite way to store and dispense Vit C. An airless pump dispenser would make more sense since it would cut down on the oxidation process. This came to me completely clear, which is what you want to see when you first receive it (even a very light yellow is okay).It really doesn't have a scent, or at least not one you would expect it to. I've heard it described as smelling like the water you boiled hotdogs in.....which is actually pretty close, lol. I store mine in the refrigerator between uses to help slow down oxidation and prolong the shelf life. This contains 20% Vit C, which may be something you have to acclimate your skin to if you have sensitive skin. It's worth the effort to do it because it is something your skin needs for cellular regeneration and collagen building as you age. Vitamin C is not something you're going to see make a huge difference in your skin immediately (aside from some brightening effects as it helps sloughs off old skin) but it is something you will notice the effects of over time. And this formula is done incredibly well and at a TRULY affordable price. HIGHLY recommend!!!

This serum comes in a 2 FL OZ. bottle which is generous enough and great for its price. I got this as alternative because a holistic plastic surgeon I follow recommend the key ingredients which is contain in this product, which is Vitamin C and E. The consistency of this serum is a combination of water and gel like, it comes out clear but its lightweight. I only apply it at night because I do not want any sensitivity reaction to the sun while going out even though I use sunblock. What I need to stress is to use it nightly if you want to brighten your skin, especially those stubborn sunspots or freckle. What I've notice is my skin brighter, more plump, and subtlety less wrinkle around my eye area. I will continue using this.

I have used Vitamin C serums on my face for 3 years now. This works wonderfully, just like the others I have tried, which were always the ones with the most glowing reviews on Amazon, and often ‘best selling’ and Amazon Choice products. I really like it! Maybe even a tad better than some of the others I’ve tried with thousands of reviews already. I’m hoping this one will help with pore size over time.This serum features 20% vitamin C which is the PERFECT amount in my opinion. There’s also vitamin E and green tea extract to help aid in your skin effects, for a flawless complexion.It will make your skin more radiant and smoother.Vitamin C serums do brighten the overall complexion. It takes away any dullness you may have, over time.The serum sinks into the skin beautifully. You can easily tell that it penetrates the surface of the skin. It doesn’t leave you all oily. Only until it penetrates. You won’t be left that way long-term. I’m personally very oily as it is, so if it left me oily, I wouldn’t use it. It does sink into the skin and vanished nicely. There’s never been any incident of a ‘greasy pillow’, and I use it not long at all before bedtime.Over time this serum will help balance out your skin tone. It helps with blotchy skin and undesirable skin flaws. They become more subtle and your over-all tone more even, with regular use.I’m still waiting on some pore tightening effects. That I’d pay any amount of money to see. If it has happened, it’s been so minimal I cannot tell. But I still have some hope left to hold on to.I have VERY sensitive skin. It turns red at the drop of a hat, so I use it sparingly. And I definitely move into things like this slowly. (Only because of my skin personally.) I often skip a day in between uses.You may get some flakiness in the beginning, if you also have extremely sensitive skin, but your skin gets used to it, and it truthfully is great for your skin in a whole. Most won’t get that effect at all, as this is very gentle, but I’m insanely sensitive on my epidermis.I use it only before bedtime. I won’t wear it under my makeup. It’s just because I don’t add oil before putting on my makeup. I have enough trouble as it is with that, so once a day or every other evening is my best effect.It doesn’t burn my skin like retinoids do. I have retina for my aging skin. That stuff is VERY tough on my sensitive skin. I just wanted to draw a parallel for those who have tried retinoids, OTC or prescription like mine with also negative results due to sensitive skin, this serum won’t be ANYTHING like that with your vitamin C. Your skin adjusts quickly and should never burn from this product.I also use it on my neck and chest. I use a little by the eyes for fine lines. I swear I do see a subtle but noticeable difference in those.This product goes on smoothly. It coats and then penetrates the skin.It feels light and gentle.It helps your skin lock in its own natural moisture, which is important for even the oiliest of skin types, rather than always stripping oily skin from locking in the moisture that it truly needs. Who knew? I didn’t use to! I used to strip the moisture and thought that was best for oily skin. I was SO wrong.I notice no irritation to my sensitive skin. Could be because I’ve used it for awhile now, but it should NOT ever burn, as stated above, and should also be fine for your own sensitive skin.The effects WILL show, and you WILL glow!Skincare products will always take a little bit of adjustment time for your skin and also time to see the effects, but this product is as great as the vitamin C serums before it, and I really like this formula and will purchase more in the future! Vitamin C products are very popular for good reason! Try this one, and I know you will like it. You have nothing to lose but a dull and uneven complexion!You may also see a tightening effect in your pores. Mine are just so large from poor facial hygiene as a teen and young adult. Sleeping in make-up, using harsh products, tanning booths, etc. working on reversing it all though! This is part of that process for me.Definitely a must add to your medicine cabinet, to put along your other favorite skin care products! I’ll use this for my lifetime to help reverse the negatives I have done to my own skin, and to keep my skin looking younger and more taut as the years go by.Vitamin C, E, B Ferulic Acid- paraben free. All a great combination of ingredients for your skin, and being paraben free is important to me!I DO recommend this product!
