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

I’ve been using this Vitamin C serum for a month now and the difference in my skin is noticeable! My complexion looks brighter, more even-toned, and feels so much smoother. The serum absorbs quickly without feeling greasy or sticky.I also love that it layers well under my moisturizer and makeup. After consistent use, I’ve noticed a visible reduction in dark spots and a healthy glow that wasn’t there before. It has a light, refreshing scent and doesn’t irritate my skin, which can be sensitive to some active ingredients.This product has truly earned a permanent spot in my morning routine. If you’re looking for a high-quality Vitamin C serum that delivers results, I highly recommend giving this one a try!

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 have been using this product for a week and can tell a difference in my face already. My skin is softer, brighter, and feels overall healthier. The overall quality is good, my only complaint is the smell. It isn't bad enough to not use but not the best smelling product especially for your face. If you are sensitive to stronger smells, I would skip. Not too thick and doesn't leave a sticky residue on your face!

I didn't really have any expectations when I ordered this serum. I'm 49 and work from home and frankly, beauty has pretty much become my lowest priority. I am not in the know when it comes to skincare and cosmetics. Not at all. In fact I had never even heard of Vitamin C Serum until one day when I was looking at the news online and saw a photo of Jared Kushner looking, well, not 100% human. As I recall, I googled something to the effect of "Jared Kushner plastic face" and found an article that featured several MUA's giving suggestions for how he could make his face look like it was covered in skin rather than Saran Wrap. Along with setting powder, Vitamin C Serum was the most frequent suggestion. Well, if they think it would make him look better then maybe I should give it a try too. So I headed to Amazon, balanced ratings and prices and chose the Eva product.Since we're being honest, I'll say that my skin has never been perfect. I've got large pores, they clog, I get occasional breakouts and there is an overall pink tone due to fussing at it too much as a teenager/young adult. On top of all that joy, I've now reached the stage of dark bags under my eyes, fine wrinkles and deep 11 furrows in my brow. It is definitely NOT a good time for me to give up on trying to look better.So my Eva Serum arrived and I really didn't know what to do with it. The consistency is watery, so... cotton ball? Use the dropper and drop it directly on my face? I decided to drop a bit into my palms and rub it in. That seemed to work well. I experimented with the amount... one drop? a full dropperful? About 3 drops turned out to be a good amount. It has a scent that is natural, I don't think it is perfumed at all, but I like it - maybe I've convinced myself that the scent is the smell of me doing something good for my skin. Who knows, but I like it.So I washed my face, dried, used gentle astringent, applied the Vitamin C serum, let it dry and applied moisturizer. Woke up in the morning and saw no change (I did say this was a pleasant surprise rather than an earth-shaking miracle, right?) I repeated this mornings and nights for about 3 days, then had a couple of unsightly blemishes. I'm told that it takes a certain number of weeks to cycle through the old skin completely, so my blemishes were likely on my skin's agenda long before I even knew about the serum, so I can't cast blame. After a few more days of repeating morning and night, my skin actually DID look better! Subtly better, but better all the same. My pores are smaller and less visible - only small darkness in pores instead of large. Best of all, one of my 11 lines has started to become less deep. So now it's more like a 1 and a dotted line, which is super-exciting after all the years I've spent scowling and squinting at the financial reports on which I blame those furrows. To the touch, my skin also feels nicer - smoother, softer, a little more supple. Still 49 years old, but a better 49.So now that the rest of my face started to look better, I got to thinking about the dark bags under my eyes... I started searching Amazon for an eye cream. Looked at a bunch, couldn't choose, didn't want to spend money on something that wouldn't work. But then I realized that the ingredients in the eye creams were all about the same as in the Vitamin C Serum. Now the skin around my eyes is as sensitive as the next girl's so I was a little nervous about this, but I decided to pat a little of the serum below my eyes... no discomfort! The next day I went all the way and used it under my eyebrows, on the eyelids and did not skimp under my eyes. Still no discomfort!! So this product turns out to double as an eye cream too and I do notice that the dark circles and puffiness aren't quite as bad as before.I think I'm using my first bottle up faster than I should because of my experimentation with the amounts, but I like it enough that I don't want to run out and have put another bottle in my Amazon cart today. Overall, I think it is worth the price and I would recommend it to a friend.
