Cosmedica Intensive Vitamin C Serum, 79% Pure L-Ascorbic Acid, 2 Count

The last bottle of vitamin c serum I used cost me over $100. When I ran out I decided I wan't doing it again. My little experiment to see if high-cost products were worth it was a bust. But within just a few weeks I could see my skin was missing the vitamin C, so I came to Amazon to try to find a replacement. I'm completely turned off when I see products with thousands of glowing reviews ( "I received this product in exchange for an honest review" - these people will post 4 and 5 reviews on different brands of the same product within days of each other). This item didn't seem "over-rated" so I gave it a second look and then decided I'd try it.I can tell you that this is an outstanding product and by the second use my skin was looking better. By the end of the week I was glowing. I expected some irritation - there was none. If you know how good vitamin C serums can make your skin look, you will appreciate the results this treatment gives you. If, like me, you haven't been using a daily serum, or you have a special occasion coming up, this treatment is the way to go. I am purchasing again and will probably always have an extra package on hand.Couple words on its use. This comes with no directions, but it's easy to use: 1) don't get hung up on the dropper not giving you exact measurements, there's plenty to give you three droppers full for each use, 2) it's easiest to just mix it up in your hand, 3) hang on to the box to store the product while your using it, and 4) once it's dissolved - it takes about 15 seconds to prep - apply it as you would any serum to your face and neck.

Sharing my opinion comes without pulling any punches, if my experience helps someone else on what to expect, it’s my pleasure and what I would want in reading a review.The Good-Packing Is Top Notch, (you can throw it from a truck, rest assured it’s going to arrive intact)-Easy to apply, (1 min before bed or when you wake up)-Compatible with to use with your current Vitamin C serum (you don’t need to buy theirs)-No Scent (I’ve tried vit c that smells sour)-Works Fast (I could tell a difference in 4 days, skin was brighter than when I used vitamin c alone)-No Irritation (apply 3 droppers full, not 3 drops mix and apply. Your good to go.)-No Oxidation (this is the #1 killer of Vitamin C products, since you mix and apply it stays fresh)The Bad-Mixing Dish and Spoon Not Ideal- After the second day I mixed product in hand and tossed the spoon)-No Shelf Life When Activated- (Can’t use less product on stubborn areas, once you mix you must use)-Dropper Needs Dosage Marker- (3 full droppers are directed, need better way to measure to be exact)-Glass Vile Hard to Store- (keep stored in the box, glass vile can easily roll off counter and break)I used this product intending to boost the evening of my skin tone and fade my dark circles. It absolutely delivered fast results and became a favorite. The cost is the only limitation preventing me from purchasing once a month. I’ll likely buy again before a special event and need fast results.

I tried this before committing to their Vit C serum. My skin is very sensitive and reactive so I figured if this was ok I’d be good to go with the serum, and I was really pleased with the results.After using this the first time my skin did feel a bit drier and tighter the following day, so I waited 2 days before I used it again, but following that I was able to use it every day. I was careful to use additional moisturisers and sunscreen while using this, but I had no redness or flaking at all, which was very pleasantly surprising.I didn’t notice a huge difference in my skin, but it did seem a bit brighter and clearer. I have very few lines and some discolouration, and it did seem to lighten that a bit, but nothing drastic. Maybe with continued use of the vit C serum I’ll see more improvements. But I would use this again, as a seasonal pick me up or whenever I’m feeling like I need a little additional boost.The one thing that was a bit odd was that I noticed it made my other products smell a bit fishy🤷🏼‍♀️

It's been a few weeks since I used this product, but I feel compelled to review it. This sounds melodramatic, but it changed my life. Or at least my approach to skin care. I have super sensitive skin that will break out in any variety of blemishes for any variety of reasons. I'd tried Vitamin C serums in the past, to horrible effect. But I thought, what the heck, I keep hearing about how good VitC is for mature skin, and this looks like an interesting approach. All it will do is what other products have done in the past, and that too will pass.Each morning was a revelation. My skin, usually pretty ruddy and scarred, blotchy, would be noticeably paler and more even in tone. By the time I finished the regimen, my skin was noticeably improved. Which gave me a clearer palette for a subsequent Vitamin C maintenance product. But I'll certainly be returning to this product again soon to give my skin a boost (yep, more new scars to contend with). I don't usually write reviews, but I've finally found a select group of products that work for me (a mid-40s woman with fine lines and wrinkles and dehydrated facial skin that protests most truly moisturizing products ... and every hormonal shift). This product is one of the ones that works, so I wanted to share the news in case your situation is similar to mine.
