Clinique Fresh Pressed Daily Moisturizer Booster With Pure Vitamin C | Brightening + Retexturing For All Skin Types, 0.29 Fl Oz (Pack of 4)

This fresh pressed vitamin C serum is effective for dullness and fine lines, but it is admittedly way too expensive if you use as directed. I will use one canister for 2-3 weeks instead of the 1 week recommended in the instructions. Yes, it is less effective and smells stronger by week 2 or 3, but it still noticeably brightens and evens the skin. I am considering refrigerating it next time to see if that extends its use further.My main reason for using this particular serum is that it is the one ascorbic acid serum I have found that does not break me out or clog my pores.Yes, this serum has a sharp metallic smell which gets stronger the longer it is opened… What you are smelling is oxidized vitamin C, and the smell is totally normal. This one does not smell as bad to me as some other high potency products, but it is noticeable. If you are using actual pure vitamin C (that is: actual ascorbic acid and not some less potent derivative that the skin has to convert to vitamin C) in high concentrations, a odor is pretty much unavoidable. Clinique doesn’t use any masking fragrances, which is a good thing. To slow down the oxidation and reduce odor and orange oxidation on your face, I recommend that when you apply this product you do not do so with other acids, and certainly don’t apply at the same time as acne products like benzoyl peroxide. I also recommend applying an occlusive moisturizer on top of this serum, or a zinc oxide based sunscreen in the daytime.Any pure ascorbic acid product will eventually oxidize to orange on your face, and it will stain if you spill it, so be aware.

I add to my daily lotion and it makes my skin feel youthful and vibrant. Definitely a great purchase.

My skin is taught and younger looking. I am so grateful and hope you have the same results. MAKE SURE TO SHAKE FOR 15 SECONDS EACH time you use it. 2 drops blended in to your moisturizer. Don't need more than a nice sized amount of moisturizer in your palm.I have found contradicting instructions.I have used twice a day and have almost finished with my second "vial". It mentioned most effective for 7 days after crunching/ releasing the vitamin c into the serum. I honestly hope you experience the same. I actually feel good when I see myself.

The media could not be loaded. Yo ya he comprado este producto en otros lugares y es totalmente diferente , esta vitamina C está oxidada ya xq debería ser color blanca no café y de olor extraño
