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...

The nozzle is a little unique but if you let some product pool into the middle part and then gently squeeze into hand you can control the amount. I found it to be non-sticky and layered nicely with my morning skin routine. After about a week I started to notice some brightening. This was very gentle on my skin.
Big boost for my skin!

This serum is like a tall glass of orange juice for my face, minus the sticky mess. This stuff has *serious* Vitamin C power—16%—which I'm pretty sure is the skincare equivalent of turbo mode. It goes on smooth, absorbs in seconds (I don't have time to wait around!), and there's zero strong smell or sticky residue. My skin looks brighter, smoother, and somehow way more awake than I am most days. Plus, no alcohol means no surprise dryness. My fine lines are already looking a bit softer, and my skin has this nice, healthy glow. Highly recommend if you want skin that looks like it actually gets eight hours of sleep!

Product consistency
Very watery consistency. So I did not like the application.

Thanks to buzzagent for the vitamin c serum to try! The serum went on so smooth without any after smell. It was a tiny bit tacky till it dried but didn't dry out my skin. I used it for a little over a week and did notice a brighten tone to my skin! Can't wait to keep wearing it and see the difference

I often use a vitamin C serum, or other products with antioxidants, so I was interested when Vichy sent me a sample of the LiftActive 16% Vitamin C serum to try and review through BzzAgent's sampling program. I did not know i would like this product as much as I do! It goes on silky and feels soft on skin. I enjoy it alone under moisturizer or mixed in. It helped clear my monthly hormonal breakouts, and gave me a little "glow", without irritating my skin. I feel i saw more visible results with this than several other similar products. One note... it comes in a dropper top bottle that might be a little awkward for some people, (maybe a pump might work better?). But, the product is great and I'll definitely continue to use it!
