Vitamin C Serum

product review positives
✨Benefits✨ •Uses 20% stable form of Vitamin C (Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate) •Patented “C-boost complex” that promises to increase skin hydration within two weeks of daily application •Cold processed at 1-4 degrees Celcius and uses Frostprotect technology on their packaging in order to increase stablity of serum to prevent it from oxidizing 💧Ingredient callouts💧 •Vitamin C (SAP) •Aloe Vera Leaf Juice •Ferulic Acid •Hyaluronic Acid •Jojoba oil •Retinol •Vitamin E ☀️Product Safety☀️ •Vegan, non comedogenic, cruelty free, paraben and silicone free •(Allegedly) Dermatologist approved for sensitive skin ____________________________________________ I bought this product on a whim from Amazon because it retailed for around $6. I was shocked because that is unheard of with Vitamin C, it tends to be the most expensive product in my routine. I was willing to give it a try, although I was nervous with witch hazel being the fourth ingredient on the list. I can honestly say I’m glad I did! The serum is lightweight, clear, slippery, and absorbs into the skin well. The witch hazel didn’t irritate my sensitive skin or break me out. The serum claims to reduce lines and wrinkles in three weeks, but I haven’t noticed any anti-aging effects since I don’t have any face wrinkles (I have some under my eyes but I don’t apply it there). By week 5, it claims to reduce hyperpigmentation. This was my intent for the purchase, since I constantly deal with acne scars and need something to brighten my face up. I’ve been recently purging from the Paula‘s choice 2% BHA liquid and have been left with fresh, red acne scars. I can tell this serum is already starting to have an effect on lightning them, although it hasnt fully been 5 weeks. I hope by that time they will be fully diminished because Im halfway through the bottle. I cant speak on its effect on old acne scars, but it has been great so far on new ones.
product review negatives
It doesn’t have a smell in the bottle, but as soon as I rub it into my skin it smells funky- like something rotten. The smell doesn’t linger and it’s not caused by oxidation since I received the formula clear and it stayed clear. It’s not a complete turn off for me, but I wish it would be completely scentless.
