Skin - Lucent-C Vitamin C Facial Serum - L-Asorbic Acid and Ferulic Acid Face Treatment - 1 Fl Oz

Leaked bottle. Poorly packed. Product is highly priced and zero quality

It very good bit c it didn’t irritate my skin

This is my second vitamin c skincare product and I’m glad to say I won’t be switching to another one. Before, I tried a Korean vitamin c cream but didn’t notice any effect from it whatsoever. Prequel has brought me the nicer-quality serum that I need. I love that Dr. Sam Ellis makes this important skincare staple both approachable and affordable. It’s very liquidy so it took me a few tries to get the hang of application. I tried pumping several drops directly onto my face like some people do—but I have sensory issues and dislike that feeling. What I do is make a “cup” with the palm of my hand and pump 1-2 pumps of product into it so it pools. I dip my ring finger to get some of the serum and then apply it in large “dots” onto my forehead, then repeat the finger/dot method for my cheeks, chin, neck and nose. Then I use my fingers to collect remaining product from my palm and use them to rub in all of the “dots” evenly. I have dry skin. In my experience this serum is not sticky or tacky after applied. It feels smooth, plump and nice. The smell is a bit strange but I don’t mind it and it goes away after a few minutes. I usually wait 2-5 mins before applying my moisturizer and sunscreen to let it soak in. I will say you should apply this to bare skin always. I accidentally applied it over some leftover self-tanner lotion on my face and it was extremely itchy and uncomfortable all day. Use it as the first step for daily routine and you’ll be good to go.

Very beautiful in the skin

Seems to work quite well for my skin but warning: do not apply to any broken skin or it burns. Found this out from having a tender nose after a cold 🤧. Was worried it burns but after my skin healed it tolerates it fine. I didn’t notice the smell. Mine is light orange but i don’t think it’s oxidized, if you read the FAQ on their site it’s normal but you do have to use it within a few months of opening. Oh and yea the packaging is kind of crazy, for some reason it blasts out like it’s under pressure. I just push lightly on the pump and it’s not a big issue.

Has an unusual smell like most Vitamin C serums (metallic/hot dog water lol), but dissipates quickly once dry. It dries mildly sticky, but leaves your skin lightly moisturized. I always use moisturizer and SPF after and it layers well with other products. I noticed a mild sting after the first use, but only once. No issues with the pump. I appreciate any and all skin products Yuka approved and with thoughtful ingredients like niacinamide, so l’m happy to purchase again!
