Poppy Austin Best Vitamin C Serum For Face

Now that I'm into my 30s I am trying to fight my skin's ageing as much as possible & have started to try new products & incorporate more into my somewhat simple skin care routine. I have some dark patches on my cheeks from birth control & sun exposure that are my only real pet-peeve. I first tried another C serum I purchased off amazon for a few months & was overall happy with the results, but the constancy seemed a little watery & the bottle ran out pretty fast since I like to use it on my face, neck & chest. It was my first time ever trying a C serum & I noticed results after a few weeks. When I ran out of that brand, I decided to try the Poppy Austin serum due to the larger size & the good reviews. After a week of use I had 2 strangers think I was almost 10 years younger than I am. I was actually carded at a store & the clerk (who was WAY younger than me) was surprised at my age. His exact words were "No way"... & I take that as a compliment. I don't think the Poppy Austin C serum is completely the reason (because I am religious about my sunblock & other aspects of my health), but it's definitely made my skin brighter, smoother & is evening out the tone already. My dark patches are still there, but slightly less noticeable. I use it twice a day, morning & night under my regular moisturizer, sunblock & powder make-up with no issues. I will continue to purchase this serum in the future & plan on buying my mother some to try for Christmas this year. Great product!

I thought that getting a serum with a combination of all the recommended things which are good for your skin would be a great idea, however, this product isn't as great as it seems on paper. It actually made my face sting, and it leaves my already dry skin very tight and dry. Perhaps this may be more suitable for combination or oily skin.

I've used this morning and night since July 2014. I am 26 years old with very fair skin. When I was younger, I was never good with applying sunscreen and would end up with some pretty bad burns. For the past 5 years, I have been much better with avoiding sunburns or too much exposure to sunlight. However, I have noticed some hyperpigmentation, including a couple age spots and lasting freckles. I've never had bad acne, but have always had a few breakouts and always a couple pimples here and there. I had never used a vitamin C serum before trying Poppy Austin's. Within a few days, I noticed I wasn't getting any new pimples. It completely cleared my skin. It was smoother and softer and more radiant. I honestly felt like my skin was glowing. Since using this for the past 7-8 months, I've noticed a lot of my hyperpigmentation has improved. I still have some "age spots" and little fine lines under my eyes (which I believe are simply genetic) but they have definitely improved. I also have severe dark under eye circles due to my pale complexion and the structure of my eye socket and this has helped helped make it not as severe looking. I feel that I look more awake! I initially bought this for it's great price and since it comes in a 2 oz bottle. I have bought it 2 more times since and plan to continue using it twice a day. I've also recommended it to my mom who is 60 and she loves it!

Nice big bottle, took about a week to get here. Evens complexion for sure. Probably the most effective thing I've ever used to remove dark marks from acne scarring along with daily use of sunscreen of course. I saw a huge improvement in my marks in a bit over a week and they're basically gone in a month. This serum uses sodium ascorbyl phosphate rather than L-ascorbic acid or magnesium ascorbyl phosphate so it is not as effective at building collagen. Its pH is basic and will dried my skin out over time until I began following with a more acidic toner.

I've been using this product for a couple months now, and it has made a significant difference in my skin. A friend of mine just commented the other day that my skin was looking brighter and 'radiant'! I love how easy it is to apply and the feeling on my skin is hydrated without being oily. I have combination oily skin and have been using oil cleaning and oil moisturizer for a number of years, which cleared my acne issues completely. Now I'm getting older I'm starting to think of anti-aging and this serum is fantastic. I cleanse my face in the morning, apply rosewater spritz and then put a few drops of this serum in the palm of my hand and apply with my fingertips all over my face and neck. It is very watery but easy to apply. There is no scent, it sinks in immediately with just a hydrated feeling on the skin. I stop there as my organic foundation I use has nourishing oils and I don't need any extra moisture. Love this, the price is great, and this should last quite a long time! Definitely recommend!
