Best value for a well formulated C serum I've found to date!, April 23, 2010
This review is from: Vitamin C 20 AOX+ serum - 1fl oz/30mL - Advanced C serum containing Ferulic acid, 20% Vitamin C, and Hyaluronic acid (Health and Beauty)
I've been using vitamin c based serums for over 5 years now with great results, including a more youthful, toned complexion compared to my peers. I initially used Cellex C, which was somewhat effective but oxidized (turned darker orange in color) relatively quickly. I then moved on to Skinceuticals due to the inclusion of ferulic acid (an antioxidant that also provides photo-protection) in their formula. Unfortunately both Cellex C and Skinceuticals are extremely expensive, almost prohibitively so when using long term and I have been unable to find a viable alternative. Until I decided to try this serum that is.
This serum contains not only the correct form of Vitamin C, at an effective concentration (20%), but also ferulic acid. In addition the product arrived without any hint of discoloration meaning that the serum was fresh, it also appears to maintain its freshness for a longer period of time compared to other serums I have used, although this may just mean that this serum arrives in a fresher state to start with.
The texture and feel on the skin is extremely similar to the Skinceuticals product, which is a good thing, as some other serums (Obagi C serum for instance) are a little too heavy and contain unnecessary added fragrance.
Finally, when factoring in the often dramatic price difference compared to certain other C serums (Skinceuticals for example), choosing this product is a no brainer. Highly recommended.

Awesome product! So glad I found it!, April 27, 2010
This review is from: Vitamin C 20 AOX+ serum - 1fl oz/30mL - Advanced C serum containing Ferulic acid, 20% Vitamin C, and Hyaluronic acid (Health and Beauty)
This product is amazing. It has become a staple in my skincare routine. I have gotten many compliments since using it! I'm a repeat customer and the serum has gradually improved the appearance of my skin -- diminishing fine lines and wrinkles, smoothing the texture and leaving it feeling supple and looking younger. As an avid beauty product researcher and writer, I have tried MANY skincare products, many of which cost over $100, and nothing has compared to this serum. I highly recommend it.

It's okay..., March 21, 2010
This review is from: Vitamin C 20 AOX+ serum - 1fl oz/30mL - Advanced C serum containing Ferulic acid, 20% Vitamin C, and Hyaluronic acid (Health and Beauty)
I purchased this about 2 and half months ago and recently finished the bottle. I also want to add that some of the product spilled so this does last for a long time. Also, in that time span the serum was still very clear which means oxidation didn't take place! (Vitamin C Serums should always be stored in a cool dark place, which I followed)
Texture wise, even though it is a serum, it was easy to apply and not extremely watery like the NuFountain Vitamin C Serum. So, you can just use the dropper and squeeze a few drops on your face and neck without using additional product.
I can't say I saw significant results as I only used one bottle-for my hyperpigmentation. But I noticed my skin has gotten a little brighter. Friends and family have also noticed that my melasma has faded a bit. This alone, I don't think it will brighten or even skin tone drastically. But it's good for anti-aging.
If it helps, I am a woman of color with dark skin.
