Transformative Skincare Experience!

I recently started using the LiftActiv 16% Vitamin C Serum, and I can't express enough how impressed I am with the results! From the moment I applied it, I knew I had found a game-changer for my skincare routine. Texture and Application: The serum has a lightweight, silky texture that glides effort...

It's Okay

I received the Vichy Laboratories LiftActiv 16% Pure Vitamin C Brightening Serum in exchange for an honest review. I think it is okay. There is a lot of information on the box and under the label, including directions, but they don't state how much of the product to apply or what technique to use to...

I feel like I noticed a difference right away. It has a weird texture after it is on (sort of sticky) but when you use moisturizer and/or sunscreen after, it goes away. Pleasant smell. I plan to make it a staple in my skincare!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I have been using this for a couple of months now and see a slight improvement in my skin texture. I like that the texture of the product is not sticky and has no strong scent. The 16% vitamin C seems like it is the right amount of vitamin C for my skin without it being too drying or harsh. Overall good product and would order it again.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

LiftActiv sent me this free sample through the BzzAgent sampling program and this review is based on that sample. Pros: lightweight, not sticky, doesn't have the "hot dog smell" like other vitamin c serums Cons: the dispenser is awful in my opinion - the plastic top stains (see picture) and feels cheap. I'm not sure it's keeping air out of the bottle which is crucial for vitamin c stability. And nowhere on the bottle or package does it say how much to use so I may have been using too much or too little. It also doesn't mention how to properly store the product to maximize its life.

I received this product in exchange for my honest review. This is a thin, fragrance free serum that quickly soaks into your skin with no sticky or greasy residue. I experienced no irritation, even on the more sensitive areas of my face. I feel that my skin looks softer and more even after a couple of weeks of using this every morning. It is an excellent vitamin c serum that is effective without burning or drying my skin.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I use this product consistently in the mornings before I used my sunscreen. It was really lightweight and did not leave my skin feeling greasy. After a couple of weeks, I definitely noticed sun spots and discoloration starting to fade.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
