Ratings & Reviews

Here's what customers think
  • The serum is described as lightweight, hydrating, and absorbing quickly into the skin.
  • Many reviewers noted that it helped brighten their skin, fade dark spots and hyperpigmentation, and improve the overall appearance and texture of their skin.
  • However, a common complaint is the strong, unpleasant smell that many found off-putting, though some mentioned the smell dissipates quickly.
  • Some users also found the serum to be a bit sticky or tacky upon application.
  • A few sensitive-skinned customers reported experiencing irritation or breakouts from using the serum.

Excellent Product

I have been using this Advanced Vitamin C 23 Serum for over a month and I really like this product. It has a light scent, which is pleasant and not over-bearing. The serum dries quickly on my face and works well with all my other products in my routine. I will definitely continue using this product! Thank you!
