Vitamin C Serum for Face with Retinol & Salicylic Acid – Skin Clearing Acne Spot Treatment with Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid, MSM – Anti-Aging Facial Serum for Dark Spots and Blemishes

This a wonderfully effective product. My skin gets red and inflamed looking. I'm super sensitive to scented skincare products. For years I used a Camocare Chamomile cream that kept the redness and scaliness in check. After that product was discontinued, I tried 16+ different new products, most too perfume-y, expensive, drying, greasy etc. So happy to find this one, essentially odorless, a couple drops is enough, calmed my skin down in a few days. a few days in I noticed all these tiny round pearl like balls on my skin - the pores on forehead and nose were releasing clogs I didn't know were there, which likely help shrink pores. Age spots on my temples are mostly gone, that took over a year. Sign of the times, price increased to $16.99, up 70% since Jan. 2025 order, when it was $9.99.

UPDATE 6/26/20: I still think this is a good product but I've moved on to my new holy grail product for controlling acne and improving skin tone...tretinoin (Retin-A)! This product changed my life and if you're struggling with your skin I highly recommend looking into it. It is by prescription only. I started using this product 3 months ago, and am currently on my second bottle. This serum is by far my MOST essential, holy grail skincare product. I wish I'd found it years ago. I am 29, Indian, and have oily skin that is prone to comedogenic and hormonal acne. I also battled cystic acne for years in the past. This is a pretty long and detailed review but I want anyone thinking about buying this product to know how my extremely positive experience has been! Before I started using this, my face was very, very congested and broken out, with extreme texture issues all over. I would wake up every morning with tiny whiteheads and/or milia, even with washing my face or showering the night before. I had closed comedones all over my face, especially on my forehead and cheeks. I had been using nose pore strips on a weekly basis since high school. No amount of physical exfoliation (think St. Ives scrub) would make my skin totally smooth. Any new, active acne would take a week or longer to go away. With this serum, I get very little new acne, and mainly only around my period or if I've been lax with my skincare or diet. When I do get a pimple, it disappears within a couple of days. The whiteheads, milia, and closed comedones are no longer an issue at all. My forehead and nose are completely smooth and the texture of the rest of my face has vastly improved. I haven't used a single nose pore strip since I started using this serum in March. I had one particularly stubborn closed comedone in between my eyebrows that had been there for several months, if not a year or longer. After ONE USE of this product, the closed comedone came to the surface (along with many others). After three days, it was completely gone. Skin tone wise, my face has brightened considerably. The skin around my mouth has always been a bit darker and it's evened out quite a bit, although I still have a ways to go. Keep in mind if you're worried this product will "make you break out". Unless you have very sensitive skin or are allergic to any of the ingredients, it's likely not going to make you break out - the congestion under your skin is just coming to the surface. It's not a pretty sight but it's the first step to transforming your skin! I personally only had to deal with this phase for one or two days. If this is a concern of yours or your skin sounds similar to mine, then time your first application accordingly (i.e. on a Friday evening when you don't have to go out that weekend). I would also start with a light application rather than using an entire dropper on your first go. It's totally normal for the areas with thin skin (like around your nose) to be slightly red and irritated the next day. Go easy on those areas until your skin builds a tolerance to it. Start with a few drops and see how your skin handles it. I counted out how many drops I use for my entire face and neck, I use 16-20 (not a full dropper). Starting out I probably used 10-12 drops. Wearing sunscreen is really important while you're using this product because like many actives, it makes you photosensitive. Sun exposure will also worsen PIH, hyperpigmentation, and acne scars, so if these are a concern for you, you should be using sunscreen anyway! I find I get much, much better results if I apply the serum before bed as opposed to in the morning (but I actually started using it AM and PM once I knew my skin could handle it). It's lightly moisturizing which is great for my oily skin and gives my skin a nice glow. Overall I'm very, very happy with this product and I pray they never discontinue making this!

I've been using this product for a little over two weeks so far which I don't think is enough time to fully review the product, but I did want to share what I've noticed so far and will update my review later on. I'm in my late 40s with fair, oily skin with some wrinkles but still deal with occasional breakouts and sometimes red, sensitive skin. I am new to serums but knew that I wanted to introduce vitamin C and retinol into my daily routine. This serum appealed to me because it had a lot of ingredients that are good for the skin plus salicylic acid which would help with my breakouts. The reviews were positive and I checked them against ReviewMeta where they passed as being natural. Often I find Amazon reviews for beauty products as being fake so I always check reviews now to make sure they're real, or as real as can be determined by an algorithm, anyhow. The serum has a faint scent of tea tree oil and citrus. I don't find it unpleasant and it dissipates quickly for me, but I'm not usually bothered by fragrance. I wasn't sure how much serum to use so I started with 5 drops. The serum is a bit sticky and I could not easily spread it across my face and neck with only 5 drops. Shaking the bottle seems to help it spread more easily but the instructions do not say to do that. Instead of using more product, I find that leaving my face just slightly damp after washing it makes the serum easier to apply. This is the approach I use now and it seems to work. I noticed a reduction in redness after a couple of uses but since I had started using a new retinol moisturizer at the same time, I wasn't sure if it was due to this serum or not. I stopped using the new moisturizer so that I can better gauge the results from using this product. The redness is still reduced using just this serum, but I will wait a month to see if this is still the case. I had some milia in the outside corner of my left eye and read that retinoids can help get rid of this. I made sure to carefully apply this serum to that particular area to see if it would work. After 5 days, I noticed what felt like a tiny piece of grit when applying this serum to where the milia was. Upon closer inspection, it was the milia now freed from my skin! That tiny white bump is now gone and this serum is the only thing I've used on that area so I give it credit for getting rid of the milia. A couple of breakouts I have are clearing up, but I can't say it's clearing up any more quickly than what I normally use for that. I'll have to wait and see if this helps prevent future breakouts or reduces them. So far, I like this serum and have noticed a reduction in redness and it got rid of some milia. I plan to continue to use this product for a longer time to see if I notice other benefits to my skin.

I’m about to give a lengthy but informative review because I love it so much and I love when people tell me what has worked for them! Acne has never been a problem for me however the past 2 years I’ve been getting a little bit of hormonal acne on my chin area and have searched high and low for products that will reduce these and also give my skin a vibrant complexion of and even glow. This is actually the first ‘serum’ I have ever used but I am hooked for life. It smells like I’m at a spa and leaves my skin feeling and looking absolutely radiant. It’s only been about a week since I’ve been using it but it’s part of my daily routine and I can see the changes in my skin looking so healthy! I don’t use it at night because I have other products I’ve been using but I’m just going to break down everything I use on a daily basis incase others are curious on what other products really work because I always appreciate when others do this: Morning 1. Wash face with either Neutrogena Acne Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub or Yes to Grapefruit Daily Face Scrub (I just really love the smell of grapefruit). I use these anytime I wash my face and really just alternate between them. 2. Apply the Eva Vitamin C serum and let dry for about 15 minutes 3. Apply Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion (my mom and grandmom have been using this for decades and it truly is amazing) 4. Apply Clinique All About the Eyes under my eyes just for an added boost for fine lines sometimes Evening/Night 1. I LOVE FACE MASKS. I’ve tried so many but I have officially found some I’m obsessed with. I do my clay masks and noise pore strips about 2x a week. My favorite mask right now is from Amazon called New York Biology Dead Sea Mud Mask and it seriously is so relaxing and magic on my face. I apply it with these magical silicone brushes from an Amazon brand called Opiqcey. Let it sit for about 20 minutes. It reeeeeally open up my pores and gets them ready to get tackled (also leaves my skin so soft). Side note, applying the mask after you take a hot shower is the best. 2. Immediately after the face mask I use the Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips from Amazon (they have face and nose ones), leave one for 15ish minutes and then you truly get to see all the gunk that’s on your face!! Recently started using this brand and am in awe. 3. Apply Curology (this is where you could use the Eva serum instead). I’ve been using it for about 4 months and I’ve only had 1-2 small chin acne breakouts so I’m sticking to my nightly routine. Also evens out my complexion so I seriously couldn’t recommend it enough (does purge your skin for the first 1-2 months so don’t be alarmed). 4. Apply Curology moisturizer (or any moisturizer) 5. Apply Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair under my eyes (this has reeeeeally reduced fine lines, sun damage and dark circles) Like I said, these are just the things that have worked for me and yes I use a lot right now but I find it super beneficial and relaxing!! Couldn’t recommend the Eva serum enough and I would recommend using it day and night!

Love love love! Has all the good stuff in it. Big improvement for my skin. It help vith acne and dark spots also. A tiny bit sticky but that does not bother.

EDIT: after contacting the company, they immediately replaced the product with a new one. however, even still the product tends to separate quite quickly compared to oil-based serums. the consistency of this serum is much more watery in comparison, which definitely helps with absorption and feels nicer on the skin, at the expense (i assume) of faster separation ~~~~~~~ when i received the product (sealed), the serum had already separated (see photo - shows bottom half is a clear fluid and top half is white with a ~milky consistency). not sure if the seal is not good or it had already been exposed to significant amount of sunlight before it was shipped. i understand that once opened, vitamin c will denature quite fast, however it should at least remain good for a while unopened!

I've used this product for 4 years now. It has helped clear up my acne and keeps it clear. I swear by this product I never miss a shipment!

Super light serum with a invigorating citrus scent! I'm on my second bottle - loving the smooth, youthful look its given my skin. As always, for best and lasting results, pair any skin regimen with natural cleansing habits, plenty of water consumption, quality diet, and exercise <3
