Love it!

This is my first time trying a Vitamin C serum, and it didn’t irritate my skin. It has such a soft texture, is easy to apply, and has a nice scent.

Triggers Pimple Breakout EveryTime.

I love Kheils products BUT the Vitamin C Serum makes me break out with pimples every time I use it. I don’t have a breakout or pimple problem generally and have gone stretches without using the serum to see if in fact the serum is the trigger. And unfortunately it is. Every time I use it I am assured to wake up with pimple. Bummer.

Great Product

Results from this product are very gratifying. I purchased to minimize fine lines and dark spots. The forehead lines? I’m very pleased they are disappearing after 2 weeks of using 2x/day. The dark spots may take a little more time. Overall a great product for my use, I’m also experiencing some slight firming in my problem area (forehead). We’ll repost more results after a month. I’m Happy I purchased this product

Love the hydration!

A delightful serum that hydrates and smoothes my skin. My skin looks better and I have used it for several years. Of course, drinking water always helps too!

Reformulated, unfortunately

I have been using this serum for several years. It was recently updated and appears white instead of the usual yellowish color. Also, the tingling sensation is gone. Wish the ingredients would have remained the same.
