Review: Brilliant product, great price - I’ve been using this vitamin C serum for a few weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed with the results. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly without leaving any sticky residue, making it perfect for layering under moisturiser or makeup. Within days, I noticed my skin looking brighter and more even-toned. My skin feels smoother and more hydrated, giving me a healthy, radiant glow. What’s even better is how incredibly affordable this serum is compared to others on the market, making it accessible without compromising on quality.
Review: Affordable with Visible Results - I honestly only brought this Serum because it was cheap, and I wanted my face to look brighter. But I was genuinely surprised and how well this worked considering it's price point. It is super light weight and feels so smooth on the skin (not greasy at all). My face IS glowing and looks refreshed. I've used this under my makeup a few times, and it honestly changes the way my skin looks. I have a feeling this is going to be a repeat purchase and going to be part of my routine for a long time.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has anyone felt that their purchase has been watered down?  I only take note of verified purchase reviews**
A: No not at all,  I loved these products, above more expensive versions.  However,  this product used to come in two parts with a vitamin c powder in a vial which would be added to a liquid in the bottle.  It was brilliant! He his is a pre mixed version which I don't find as great as the original,  but still good for the price.

**Q: I wanted to know if this product helps with facial scars and uneven skin? Thanks ladies.**
A: The best think for scars and uneven skin tone is bio oil best product!!!

**Q: Is this product tested on animals?**
A: Their website says their products are cruelty free, this vitamin c serum is also suitable for vegans.

**Q: Is the glycerin used vegan?**
A: most glycerine is derived from plant sugars, a treated liquid that traps moisture in skin so it can't breathe ,and for people with sensitive or scared skin its an irritant

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing results - and will definitely order more
*by T***R on 28 March 2025*

I'm so happy I found this product, and can't believe how low that price is! This is perhaps one of the most gentlest yet effective serums I've found in a while. I use this first thing in the morning, and as we walk the dogs really early and I don't have time/inclination to out my make up on so early, this is the only thing I wear for an hour to face the morning. Yet, after just a few weeks of using this, I've noticed just how fresh and glowing my face looks just by wearing this alone. I am 44 and in recent years I've had to move to serum for daytime skin care as my face has become so dry. So, this little bottle has just been magic! There's no scent, it is so easy to put on, and though the bottle size seems small, a little of this goes a long way. Best of all, my skin absorbs this beautifully and I feel refreshed (and have had no notable side-effects with the ingredients at all) I only use small amounts of concealer and pressed powered on my face these days, but putting them on over this serum is also so easy and effective. Overall, I can't fault this product and will certainly be ordering more.
