serumtologie C Serum 22 – Pure Vitamin C Serum for Face with Hyaluronic Acid & Ferulic Acid | Potent Anti-Aging Serum for Dark Spots, Fine Lines and Wrinkles | Brightening Serum - 1.15 Fl Oz

I bought this about a month ago and I wanted to wait before reviewing it. I'm a pharmacist and also a huge beauty junkie. I know that some of these skin care products are not proven to improve your skin but I still really wanted to try this after reading about it being one of the best vitamin C products. It has a tacky, watery consistency that can spread on the the face and neck. It states you can use 5-7 drops on the bottle but I usually use closer to 7 drops since I apply it on my neck as well (I think 5 would suffice if you're applying just to your face). I use it every morning after washing my face and then apply an SPF 30 moisturizer right after. I'm 25 so I wouldn't say that I'm looking for extreme anti-aging. I'm not too sure what I was looking for this except improvement in my skin after reading about the benefits of Vitamin C use and maybe just protecting my skin in general in the long run. So what's the verdict after 1 month? Again, I do not have wrinkles or lines yet so I was not looking for this serum to "anti-age" me. However, I noticed my skin is now really radiant when I wake up in the morning- no matter if I have a good or bad night of sleep. Even though I don't have acne, I have always worn foundation in the past because my skin looked so dull when waking up in the morning. I have started to notice, and this is not something I have noticed after starting any other products, when I wake up in the morning, my skin does not have this same dull look. This is not just after I use the serum- I notice it looks radiant even first thing in the morning before I wash my face. I look less tired and have a glow to my skin. I don't know if it has made me have less under eye bags but I just makes me look so awake and refreshed that they are a lot less noticeable. Noticing this new radiance in my skin has made me feel more comfortable with not wearing foundation on my skin as much or putting concealer under my eyes. Again, this is not just after using the vitamin C serum. My skin looks radiant now first thing in the morning even BEFORE I put this serum on which means that it is IMPROVING my skin and not just moisturizing my skin when I wear it! I was also worried when starting this serum that my skin would be slightly red after using it as my skin is pretty sensitive and reddens around my nose when I use anything not suitable for sensitive skin. I was happy to find that this did not make my skin red at all. I read that this particular form of Vitamin C does not irritate the skin. It is fragrance-free as well which is another plus for those with sensitive skin! Can I 100% say this certainty that it was this vitamin c serum made my skin radiant? No, I can't. But I can say that since using it, my skin has becoming more radiant and there has nothing else new that I added to my routine. It is not just a subtle difference either. I really feel like I have a youthful, rejuvenated glow to my skin skin. I look happy and well rested all the time now (even if I'm feeling far from it haha). After 1 month of using this serum, I will continue adding it to my beauty routine. I would rather buy this for $35 and use 1 bottle for about 3 months then buy an $8 fake "vitamin C serum" that is just a make up of dye, fragrance, and other irritating ingredients that don't even work and just redden my skin. This vitamin C is at a high enough concentration to work. Other vitamin C products don't list their strength on the bottle, so how do you even know what you're getting? I think anything that makes you look better without makeup is worth the money ! It is such a confidence booster to feel better in your own skin. 5 stars.

After a little under a month of use, I find that I really enjoy the serum so far. I'm 30 years old in NYC and this is my first try at a vitamin C serum. I have seen a definite difference in my skin. It feels smoother, firmer (plumper?) and softer. My fine lines are also less visible. For the price, I think the serum is worth. I am on a budget and the price works well for me. Also, definitely applying the product morning and night has made a huge difference. I used to skip the night routine and just wipe the make up off with wipes, but sticking to a routine makes a difference with this product. Seeing the results has a way of making you stay up to do the work! The packaging was also fun! When my package arrived, my roommate remarked that I had a secret admirer. The package was pink with a message saying "Ship to: The Gorgeous Tramia Jackson" I had to tell her that it was my skin care company lol! Not only was the package cute, but it arrived well in advance of the projected arrival date. This great service made a positive impression on me even before I tried the product. As I mentioned above this was my first experience using a "serious" serum. My only concern early on about the serum is that when I applied it, it was sticky and a bit drying on my fingers and face. I did not have trouble smoothing it on my face, but there is a sticky and drying residue/feeling after It is absorbed. I use toner before I apply it and a water based moisturizer after that combats the dry and sticky feeling. I have had past products that were extremely sticky that I have returned. I stuck with this product because the sticky factor was bearable and I wanted to give it a try (the friendly customer service helped as well!). And I am glad I did. I contacted the company with my entire message above and they immediately sent me this explanation for the "sticky/drying" feeling: "The "dryness" you are feeling is most likely the tightening effects of the ferulic acid, which acts synergistically with Vitamins C & E to increase UV protection, boost collagen, and increase cell renewal. And the slightly tacky feeling immediately after application will only be present briefly as the serum is being absorbed into your skin." Again, this was my first time using a "big girl" serum with vitamin C, ferulic acid and collagen so I didn't know any of those effects. I'm glad that this is part of the process and that the company took the time to send me an explanation. . Overall, I really enjoy this product and I will likely continue to use it and explore more of their product offerings in the future.

It's great. I've been using this bottle for three months now, so I think its about time I posted a review. My skin definitely evened out its pigmentation from acne, the pigmentation wasn't that strong to begin with, but other products didn't work like this one did. It also had some minor pitting which evened out also. I noticed that my skin was a lot smoother, and brighter, people really complimented me. One day I went completely without makeup and a random lady literally came up to me and said I had the best skin of anyone she had ever seen. My friends also commented that my skin was glowing. And I got the "oh you have perfect skin" compliment from many people. I would definitely recommend this product. I used 5 drops every morning. I didn't use it at night. I used it before my sunblock. I am 25 years old, with generally good skin (medium to dark tan). It's normal to combination. I bought it to address previous acne scarring on one corner of my face - the pigmentation and pitting. After using this I can go make up free and feel fine about it. This was my first vitamin c serum so I was very happy with the results. It arrived early, and the company has great customer service as well, they seem to really care. Also the price - when I bought it, was on sale. When I am older this is definitely something I would use on a regular basis. Also, I read somewhere, the glow goes away a few weeks after you stop using it. I'm not sure about it as I'm still not finished with the first bottle - almost though. But even still, it got rid of my pitting (mostly) so It think its a damn good product.

Compared to other C Serums I've tried, this one is really effective and you can really see the difference! It is the first time a serum has actually given me a brighter skin. Face is a bit tense after application but it works quite nice with a mist on top and if you then moisturize with a cream at the end it's fine. The only downside this product has is the rather big price difference between EU and US where it's way cheaper and affordable. But I guess this is more a distributor issue and not specifically product related.

There seem to be an awful lot of Vitamin C serums on Amazon. Unsurprising given the benefits Vitamin C has the potential to provide. But quite a lot of them have a high number of reviews from people who were either sent the product for free or at a discount. Lots of reviews means that searches will bring these products up in the popularity rankings. Is the provision of free products in return for reviews all part of a deliberate marketing drive? Now, that's a separate discussion to have but I wanted to start by saying that I have bought this product at full price. By free choice. With my actual own money. And no one asked me to review this product. I'm doing it because I want to. We are all looking for that Holy Grail product right? I've spent enough money trying to find it and I'd like to help anyone else thinking of parting with their cash. That's it. Here's the thing with vitamin C serums. If you get a decent quality one, there are some good studies which say you will get good results. But here comes the big BUT...It's actually quite hard to find good quality serums available. Vitamin C is a tricky old fish to keep stable in suspension and in a form which wont irritate the skin. You also need it at a concentration of about 20% for it to have much of an effect too and it needs to be stored in a way which prevents oxidation/ph changes which render the product useless by the time it hits your skin. This opens the doors to snake oil merchants who use unstable formulations, citrus scents and colourings in their serums so you can't actually see or smell if the product has oxidised. I have tried out 2 in the £10-£20 price range where this was the case and to be honest they did smell lovely and contained a lot of other "beneficial" ingredients which is all fine but I couldn't really say which component of that list was making a difference and in truth, I don't think any of them did make a big difference to my skin. Then I found a really interesting American blog piece...not sure if Amazon will allow me to list it here but its: my awesome beauty dot com (no spaces and replace the word dot with a full stop)...all about how to choose a vitamin C serum and the issues around PH, stability, packaging, oxidation, concentration, positive interaction with vitamin E, ferulic acid etc etc. This one did really well in their tests and given that the top of the price range for some vitamin C serums is £90+, this seemed like a good bet. The very expensive one (SkinCeuticals) is available in the UK but that company test on animals (not cool) so that was out. The second highest rated one (Cosmetic Skin Solutions) has identical ingredients to the SkinCeuticals and is available at around £40-£55 depending in which site you use. That was still a little more than I wanted to pay and I have quite sensitive skin so wasn't keen to go with the L Ascorbic Acid form of vitamin C used in the SkinCeuticals and the Cosmetic Skin Solutions. This Serumtologie product is the kinder to skin and more stable sodium ascorbyl phosphate form of vitamin C at 22% concentration with 5% Hyaluronic Acid, 1% Ferulic Acid and 1% Vitamin E. All at research backed concentrations (which incidentally are higher than the £90 formula). It's a clear/very slightly milky liquid so you can spot any oxidation colour changes and it comes in a blue dropper bottle to protect from the light. This product isn't packed with parabens, colours, GMOs, oils and scents and so on, which I think is a benefit. So it smells of nothing at all, really. You put about 6 drops into the palm of your hand and pat it on to your face. It dries quickly. You will definitely need to follow with a moisturiser as that isn't the function of this serum. As with all products, I will need to use this for at least 6 weeks before I can let you know if this is working to reduce my hyperpigmentation 'age spots' and help skin tone and texture but I have high hopes for this one. I certainly feel confident in the quality. Yes there are much cheaper vitamin C serums on Amazon but for some of them at least, you may be getting less than you think you are for your money. All those reviews? They might not be seeing the benefits of the vitamin C at all, but all the other ingredients designed to more immediately condition and hydrate the skin. Who knows. But I'm going to give this a shot and see how it compares to the InstaNaturals one I got last time. Hope this helps!

I loved this vit C and would have loved to buy it again but it’s out of stock now. Every time I used it with my skin care routine in the morning it made my skin shine. I was almost addicted to using it on a daily basis .

I swear by this serum. This is by far my favourite Vitamin C serum and I can't live without it. It makes me skin really soft and glowing :) I always stock up before I run out. I like the fact that it's vegan and cruelty free.

Amazing results seen in 2 weeks..this is hands down the best vitamin c serum available in the market right now. A little expensive but worth every penny spent. Must buy if you are looking for a flawless,blemishless and glowing skin.
