Love it. I have purchased this 3x now. Makes my skin glow and look youthful. I pair it with the skin barrier serum every day
Undoubtedly it's the best product
Reviewed at

Undoubtedly it's the best product for all skin types and also for the uneven skin tone. I've been using this product for quite sometime in combination with All in one snail serum, it's usually helps me to get back my glow eventually . But the product is not delivered with care and so I've received a damaged package. Team needs to focus on delivering the product with uttermost care.
Highly recommended

Excellent product. Helped to brighten and even my East Asian complexion which had been dull with slightly darker discolored patches due to long term sun neglect. Did so within 3, 4 weeks when applied alone once daily on cleansed skin without applying moisturiser or other skincare product at the same time. I call my sundown routine as I apply it alone after cleansing my face when the sun sets to remove the sunscreen I have been wearing during daytime. One suggestion of improvement is that the current dropper is not long enough to reach the bottom of the bottle. As a result, there is always a fair amount of serum wasted because I can't reach it by using the dropper.

Shocked by what a difference it makes
Reviewed at

I am SHOCKED by the difference this product makes. When I bought it I wasn't sure if Vit C was really necessary for my skin care routine, and felt silly for buying another product. But I could see the difference after 2 days. My skin looks noticeably tighter and brighter and firmer. I've never used a product with such drastic results. I do not have sensitive skin so went for the 23 and have no regrets. My only problem with it is it says it's supposed to be refrigerated, which is a little inconvenient. Small price to pay. Amazing product.
