Lumene [Valo] Nordic-C Glow Boost Essence - Hydrating and Brightening Serum with Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid + Arctic Cloudberry for Visibly Radiant Skin - Vegan + Suitable for All Skin Types (30 ml)

I know everyone is all about the Korean beauty products, but nordic beauty products are 100 times better in my opinion. They are almost always free of harsh dyes and chemicals, they hardly ever test on animals and many of the brands are vegan. Their special ingredients like cloud berries and birch sap do wonders for all skin types. And their packaging is so lux and sophisticated. Korean beauty products are hardly natural, almost always test on animals, are rarely vegan, and the packaging often looks like something for preteens. Thank goodness brands like Lumene are getting more recognition!I am a huge fan of anything nordic (except lutefisk) and this serum is no exception. It does wonders for your skin. Thanks to this product, Lumene's Valo Vitamin C moisturizer, and Paula's Choice 1% retinol serum my skin has never looked better. All of Lumene's products are lovely, the Sisu line is especially nice and I can't wait for Amazon to carry more of that line.This serum is nice and light, and absorbs quickly. It has a lovely light citrus scent and after only 2 weeks of using it, I can say that my skin is totally transformed. You don't need much so while some people will say it's pricy for the size, a little goes a long way, and should last you quite a while. But $25 is a small price to pay for amazing skin in my opinion.Lumene for the win!

Absolutely loved this product ever since i discovered it! Going through my second bottle right now. There's something interesting I discovered, technically this is a vitamin c serum which is a great addition to any skin regimen, but surprisingly it's been helping with my cystic acne flare ups. If i rub the serum on clean skin straight over the acne spot it tends to help it go down. I have no idea why or how it works, but I wasn't the only one who noticed it. My friend who also uses the same serum has noticed it helps her as well. LOVE THE SMELL, LOVE THIS PRODUCT! Even if it doesn't help you with your acne it's still a great vitamin c serum.

Picked up a sample size of this product at a store and immediately loved it. I use every morning after I get out of the shower. 2-3 drops in my palm and the rub between my palms and then gently pat/press/spread over my forehead, nose, checks, chin and neck. Leaves my skin soft and supple all day. I have a few darker spots from sun damage and this has faded them very nicely. I'm now on a re-stock saver plan and absolutely love it!

Although you don't know what the concentration of vitamin C is in this, and the company won't tell you if you ask,it does seem to be working for me. This serum absorbs very quickly, without feeling sticky or oily. I can apply makeup just minutes after application.It has a pleasant scent, slightly like oranges,that dissipates almost immediately. I don't need to apply moisturizer after using this in the morning.The price isn't crazy, and one bottle last months

I feel my skin is radiant and I love the scent! It goes on smoothly and is quickly absorbed. I've gotten comments on my skin about how nice it looks and what's my secret? I tell them Lumene!

I have tricky skin. It's combination and doesn't love me all the time. This stuff is like giving my skin a big drink of water, without it getting greasy at all. It immediately seeps into my skin and my skin, I swear, sings me a thank you. It's got a little bit of a floral scent, which isn't my favorite, but it reminds me of an old Finnish woman who was friends with my family, so I don't mind it much.

(...And, sunscreen.) Friends, this product isn’t always easy to find, and it’s one incredible find.I use this at night after washing my face and before using my night time moisturizer. A little goes a long way, too. I wake up with absolutely glowing skin! This stuff somehow seems to firm my skin, give it a radiant glow, and boost the power of my other products.It’s important to know that Vit C does weaken with exposure, so do keep it in a cabinet or drawer and keep that lid on tight.Incidentally, the packaging is lovely. A beautifully branded box holds your orange-frosted glass bottle with dropper safely inside.This is genuinely a product that I’ll always keep on hand.

This smells great and feels nice when it's put on initially but does feel slightly drying so I put a moisturizer on as well.I haven't noticed any differences in my skin so I'm not sure if I'll be buying it again, I like this company and their products but my skin still looks almost the same so I may try something else next time.
