artnaturals Anti-Aging Vitamin C Serum - (1 Fl Oz / 30ml) - with Hyaluronic Acid and Vit E - Wrinkle Repairs Dark Circles, Fades Age Spots and Sun Damage - Enhanced 20% Vitamin C

I have been using this serum for 7 days and I am happy enough with the results to keep going to see the long term results. This is not an instant facelift/miracle cream/key to the fountain of youth. What it is, is a reliable serum that slowly improves your skin over time. I was not given any kind of incentive or free product to post this review. I selected this serum to try after researching what type of product I wanted and reading all the reviews on this item. My results after 7 days is encouraging. Let me start by saying I am extremely picky about what I will put on my face. I am in my mid 40's, with super sensitive, super fair combination skin. I hate the feel of anything heavy on my skin and cosmetics, moisturizers and sunblock all tend to give me rashes. I don't wear foundation, only light spot concealer where needed. I am dealing with dark circles and puffiness under my eyes, millia on my upper eyelids and the sides of the bridge of my nose, blackheads and enlarged pores on my nose and dry red patches on my cheeks. Overall my skin just looks tired. The only face wash and moisturizer I have been able to use without causing breakouts and rashes is Trader Joes Nourish face wash and moisturizer. So for the last seven days I have washed my face and neck morning and evening with my regular face wash, put on this serum and followed with my regular moisturizer. I have not used any other masks or skin care products. I am already seeing a slow improvement to all of my skin complaints. The most dramatic improvement is to the dry patches on my cheeks (they are gone) and an overall evening of my skin tone. Everything just looks and feels smoother and my patchy red problem areas are lightening up and blending in. The millia on my eyelids seem to be reducing. They look and feel flatter. My enlarged pores look smaller and I am seeing a change to the dark circles under my eyes. The puffiness is gone, and while I do still have dark circles, they seem to be lightening up and more easily hidden with light concealer. Instead of the really dark purplish bruise look I had a week ago, they seem to have a lighter reddish pinkish purple color that doesn't extend as far under my eyes. So. This is not a miracle cure, but I have seen enough of an improvement in my skin to keep using this daily and see if it keeps improving.

I SWEAR by this stuff. I have been using it for about a year or two and my face has cleared up tremendously. I have really bad sensitive skin and this vitamin C oil works beautifully. It is super moisturizing but it does dry up pretty fast so I do pair it with my Cetaphil daily moisturizer. There's also no scent to it at all which is always nice.

I've been using this for ten days. I bought it outright. I've not seen a difference in wrinkles but I have seen a visible brightening of my skin, and some splotches have diminished. Before I was using Olay 7 effects alone, but with this serum it seems to help my skin more. The smell isn't great, but isn't off putting for me either. I like it thus far. UPDATE I got to slacking...like I do...when it came to applying this product. Let me tell you, I could tell a difference after not using it regularly. I was kinda doing an experiment to see if the Olay 7 was really the better product, but I'm convinced that together, they do my skin wonders. I am NOT peddling the Olay...I'm just saying, that's what I use, and I wasn't sure which was really improving my skin. At any rate, I have discoloration, some broken capillaries, and under eye bags from full time work and school. This has helped immensely. I will also say that the smell is not the best at this point. When I first got the product, it wasn't bad. It smells ever so very, very slightly fishy now. I hope this doesn't lessen the benefit that I've had using it over the past few weeks. The smell is not bad enough for me to discontinue use. UPDATE: I can still see a difference, but the smell is getting harder to deal with. It doesn't flat out stink, but it has an old smell...like old fruit, or decomposition of fruit, perhaps? Not entirely sure. Slightly fishy, slightly sweet. Still not completely off-putting, but I'm not running to the medicine cabinet to put this on at night, either. So, here's the deal. Vitamin C definitely improves the skin, hands down. Not sure if other Vitamin C products will have the same smell over time or not. So basically, for anyone looking to see brighter, clearer skin, definitely works and is a steal for the money. But it does smell strangely. Not sorry I got it, even if it does smell weird.

Here we go... I waited a couple of weeks before speaking so that I could post a more scientific review. I have been applying this twice a day, first thing in the morning and before I go to sleep at night. When using serum, ALWAYS remove your makeup and cleanse your face first. You want to let the formula really sink into your skin. Sleeping with makeup on will clog your pores anyway. This serum comes with a dropper for easy application. Then I like to use my fingertips to gently sweep it across my skin. Nothing magical happened the first morning. (Despite what the Internet may say, no serum is going to give you Wonder Skin after one application.) But after the first 48 hours, I started noticing a difference in my T-zone area. I am usually pretty oily there and no amount of facial masks has been able to keep the whiteheads away. Very gross, I know. By now (week three) I am seeing obvious results. Face is smoother, pores are noticeably tighter, and skin in general just feels healthy. Wears great under makeup, too. Vitamin C is one of the hottest serums on the market for a reason. Not only does it prevent sun-damage, it can actually restore tired skin back its to healthy, beautiful state. Will this serum give you perfect skin overnight? Nope. Has it become an essential part of my daily skin routine? Absolutely. Protect your faces, ladies (and gentleman if you're reading this). Prevention is the #1 key to staying young and healthy. This serum is affordable and effective and it smells good and citrusy, which is just a plus. Give it a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

My skin loves this product!

First and foremost - I paid for this 100% out of pocket (not a free or reduce price item). Ok, now that we cleared that up, here goes: I had high hopes for this product. I have had dark spots for a while now - actually it's probably been over a year, and they just didn't clear up... then I got pregnant and they stuck with. Once my son was born, I was ready to take action on them and did research on how great Vitamin C is. One day during maternity leave, I even got hooked watching an episode of Tyra Bank's show "FAB Life" (which came on accidentally after The Chew), and they had experts raving about Vitamin C serum and how it's a MUST. Great! All signs point to "NEEDING" this and having it solve all my problems. It arrived late November, so it's been 2 months, and the bottle is almost empty. No change in my dark spots or dark circles (ok, let's face it - I have a 3 month old - I don't expect the dark circles to disappear for another 20 years). I did find that using this left my skin SOFT, but no real other results. I don't think I have any special glow about me, my complexion looks about the same, my spots are still spotty, etc. Others did post about the smell and truthfully, I barely noticed it. You do smell it briefly upon application - and I'm sensitive to smells, but it fades fast and is very light. I did not find it offensive at all. I also have sensitive skin, and this did not make my skin burn, break out or turn red AT ALL. Overall, I'm glad I gave it a shot.... but I'm even more glad it was cheap. It didn't hurt, but since it didn't help, I won't be reordering.

Great product! It doesn’t have retinol which is great! Especially for people with sensitive skin. It’s not sticky and absorbes into the skin really well. I’ve definitely noticed a clearing of dark spots and scars. Smells really nice and is overall the perfect vitamin c serum.

My worst experience on Amazon to date. This is literally the worst product EVER. Where do I start?!? Very BAD smell. Runny/liquid-like consistency (comparable to well, plain water), NOT AT ALL LIKE A SERUM SHOULD FEEL, not even close. Extreme REDNESS/BURNING wherever product was applied, then when you go to try and wash it away (and to cool the burning sensation), you can't. By this point in time it's already had a chance to seep into the skin, and has most likely done more damage than before you applied it. As the serum dries, it leaves your skin feeling like leather... or plastic? It's hard to describe... basically a feeling I want to and am trying to avoid. I do own up to my own responsibility of overlooking all the negative feedback about this product. I'll give you that. Ideally, I should've taken the time to carefully examine the bad as well as the good and done a little more research before purchasing this product. I guess I was too caught up in browsing all of the raving 5-star reviews, that I was blinded to realize a product that claims to be this good at this amazingly unheard of LOW PRICE, is simply TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. And that is the sad truth. This product was released not too long ago, and already there are 3000+ reviews? Seriously? How much were these people paid to lie and write reviews? Me myself would not put this product, or anything else this company manufactures on my body, let alone my face, even if it was free... or if they PAID me. Had a refund not been an option, I undoubtedly would've dumped the bottle. Just look into their website and social media platforms. You'll see what I'm talking about.

Amazing serum. Ingredients are amazing, natural and effective. Due to the lack of film forming agents, the serum is very watery making it difficult to apply evenly without it dripping through the cracks between your fingers. What I do is put a few drops on a cheap foundation brush and apply it on my skin using the brush ( this is a method used often by spas with products of this nature ) I then massage my moisturizer on top of the serum to increase product efficiency. You can also mix the serum in with your moisturizer if preferred- This, in my opinion, is less effective.

Overall, I am impressed by this product, after using it faithfully each night for two weeks. I notice my skin looking significantly smoother, more even-toned, even some small sun spots on the side of one of my cheeks are getting lighter. Yes, IT is a very thin consistency but I don't think that's any detraction from it working. The dropper IMO is a good idea as a LITTLE goes a long way. When they say to use a dime-sized amount for neck and face, they are right. One star off for the smell/scent of this serum. It is a bit strange (hard to describe) but happily fades after a few minutes, doesn't linger. I think a bit of natural orange or lemon essence added to the mix would have been nice but perhaps a concern for irritation for sensitive skin? I don't like overly scented products of any kind, so I still prefer this as it is, to some perfumey attempt to mask the ingredients as they are. I would definitely buy this serum again. It's one of the best products I've tried in a long time. Great price here at Amazon.ca too. :-) Geraldine Helen Hartman, author of: Laughing AT the Grim Reaper! Gems of Wisdom for Aging Well

The first time I bought the product, it was very effective. However, the second time I bought the product, the liquid got much thinner, dried up faster, and it was not as effective as before, as if they diluted the serum to produce more. I hope the manufacturer did not lower their product standard.

I have only had this product in my hand for a few days, but so far I would say it is fabulous. The vitamin C Serum absorbs into the skin instantly and feels wonderful, unfortunately it is to soon to say confidently that it is going to make a difference in my Skin, I have a strong feeling that it is going to make a big difference and I can't wait to see the results in about 4 weeks. If the results are anywhere near what I'm expecting I'll be looking to purchase more of this Great Canadian Product. PSSSSS a hint listen to your skin after you put the serum on your face, I hear a tingling and this is a great indicator that something serious is going on.
