COSRX - skincarewithjelena review for The Vitamin C23 Serum

Key ingredients: - 23% Ascorbic Acid - Panthenol - Hyaluronic Acid - Caffeine - Tocotrienol (Super Vitamin E) This Vitamin C serum fades hyperpigmentation and helps with signs of ageing. This is a potent formula with 23% of pure Vitamin C, with additional brightening ingredients like Niacinamide and Ethyl Ascorbyl Ether. It also has several plant oils and hydrating ingredients like Panthenol and Hyaluronic Acid. It doesn't contain fragrance and essential oils. It does have an odd scent(like canned tuna), like pure vitamin C does, but I don't think it has a strong scent as some people describe. And it has a very low percentage of alcohol. My experience: I was hesitant to try this because my skin can react badly to a high percentage of pure Vitamin C, but surprisingly I didn't have any issues with this serum. No skin burning or stinging. Texture is slightly oily, but it absorbs fast into the skin, and I had no issues after applying other products on top. Color of this serum is pale yellow. I have been using this for 2 months and I absolutely love it! I like that formula is water based so it doesn't feel too oily on my skin. I don't mind that odd scent, over time I got used to it. I did notice some improvements with my sun spots. They are less visible, but not gone completely. My skin looks healthier in general since I started using this. I already purchased a 2nd bottle! About the size of this serum, this is 20 ml of product packed in a 30 ml bottle. 20 ml is enough for 2-3 months, depending how often you use it. And it is more likely that you will use it up before oxidation. I kept mine in the fridge and the color didn't change much. Overall, this is an amazing serum if you have stubborn dark spots or if you want something to help with fine likes. I will rate this 10/10.
