Most Helpful Positive Review Perfect consistency & results I love this. It is hard to find a true all-natural serum that has the smooth/thin/wet consistency of conventional products termed "serums." Natural/green beauty ones are usually very oily. This is just hydrating and more watery. It leaves a thin/light residue behind, but it isn't sticky, in my opinion (I have sensitive/dry skin with an extra sweaty t-zone,by the way). I have freckles and red splotches, and the combination can make my skin look dull and angry, especially in summer heat. This had an immediate and noticeably brightening effect on my skin. It didn't like my freckles as some heavy vitamin C products can seem to do, but instead I swear that the freckles pop more against my face and they give me a more youthful look. The tone of my freckles (warm browny-taupe) seems to be more perfected and doesn't clash with my cheeks that seem to go from splotchy to more naturally flushed with this serum (and my UMVT balm). I don't want (or need) to use blush, but it is a more centralized and properly toned flush so my skin tones all look more radiant overall. It won't get rid of redness, but it is hydrating and works great in conjunction with their face balm that does calm redness and smooth texture more. Those two products are all my dry skin needs most mornings to stay hydrated through the day, so I don't have to use an oil-based moisturizer that can be too heavy or mess with my makeup during the hot summer.
Most Helpful Critical Review Not for Me I had high hopes for this serum based upon all the great reviews. 2 stars because I liked the consistency of the formula and the way it felt on my skin. But my skin had a reaction to one of the ingredients, and it left me with breakouts each time I tried using it. It was very pricey, and I hate that it didn't work for me. I wasn't sure if Ulta would allow me to exchange it because of how long ago I had purchased it (I tend to buy when there's a great sale/coupon then stash products away until I'm ready to use them); I wound up giving it to my daughter. Hopefully it works for her.

i used to use ursa major's recovery cream which i enjoyed, and with my sunmer fridays serum running out i decided to try this (it's $10 cheaper). i got the mini cleanser and cream for free. i have used all three for 2 days and i am so impressed i had to write a review! my rosacea calmed down soo much and my face is overally brighter and healthy looking. have to buy the full size of the other products! such a simple routine for good skin!
Excellent Product 5
Cary from Bloomington, IN
I use 1 drop after washing my face, followed by a small amount of moisturizer. The serum make a great surface for the moisturizer to do its work, and has minimized dark spots and made my whole face clear and glowing.
Breakout! 2

Felt okay putting on, was a bit sticky for a while. Also didn't smell great. After leaving it on all day, I had a whole clump of breakouts from it!! wouldn't recommend
Would Buy Again! 5
Tay from Florida
This product is expensive, but I would purchase it again just being it works so well and the ingredients. Since I've been on medication for my acne twice, I make sure that I use products that won't upset my skin and this product just enhances it! It's very lightweight and refreshing to the skin.
P.S. I use this product under sunscreen.
Days into using and I love this! 5
rockstarlover469 from Livonia, MI
I've only been using this product a few days but I can already see results! I've tried a number of products to help with acne scarring and hyperpigmentation, but this is the first one I've seen great results with. My skin is also softer and smoother in general and even my acne has lessened. I love that they use more natural ingredients as I have sensitive acne prone skin. Definitely a win and I hope Ulta continues to carry it.
New Favorite 5

I'm in my mid-30's now and figured I'd try this Vitamin C serum because it's a clean product and figured my skin could benefit. I have combination skin and this is a light serum so it doesn't feel greasy or thick. I do think it gives me a glow for a while after application. I've been using for about a week so I'm not sure what else it might do for me just yet but I do like it so far!
Vitamin C that is not oily or greasy!! 5
Elizabeth from Mountain Brook, AL
I use this every AM, feels so moisturizing. Love that I can layer with other products, but sometimes I just use this stand-alone! Not oily, love this unique formulation!
Wonderful! 5
Julie from Spokane, WA
This stuff is great! It's the most moisturizing and hydrating vitamin C serum I've used. It's also the first one that didn't make me instantly red or irritated. My skin was noticably brighter and more plump. This could probably double for some as a super light moisturizer, but it was a little too sticky for me on it's own. That might be due to my naturally drier skin, though, as the stickiness went away as soon as I added my moisturizer on top. It blended perfectly!
Solid Product 5

In combination with Golden Hour Recovery Cream, I've noticed a reduction in dark spots and overall my complexion is more even. I have extremely sensitive skin, and this doesn't irritate it at all.
Give it a try 5

Finding the right Vitamin C for your skin can be tricky. I find this serum is especially good for sensitive skin. If you've given up on Vitamin C this is the serum I would try
Refined, light, satisfying 5
Claire from undisclosed
A light, nutrient rich cream that feels so wonderful. Like all the Ursa Major products I've tried, this will become a permanent part of my skin care routine.
Love it! 5

Pricey but worth it 5
Haley from undisclosed
I got this as a serum to help prevent aging due to sun exposure and to go under my sunscreen. I love how lightweight it is and I have very sensitive skin but this did not irritate it. Love this brand and was glad I spent alittle extra on this serum.

I am hooked! 5
Jacob from undisclosed
This product was my first from Ursa Major. I previously was using the Olehenriksen Truth Serum, but wanted to find something with natural ingredients, and found this while reading skincare reviews. Let me tell you- the reviews do not lie! I am on my second bottle, and month 5 of using it every morning. My skin looks brighter, firmer, and healthier. Not to mention, the smell is infectious! I look forward to this step in my skincare routine every morning. So much so- I came back and bought the face wash, and face balm. Ursa Major is slowly taking over my whole skincare routine, and I couldn't be happier with the results!
Finally! A Vitamin C serum that visibly works! 5
Jasmine from undisclosed
I bought this serum as a recommendation from a youtuber and I didn't regret it. This is the only vitamin c serum that significantly reduced the appearance of my hyperpigmentation! This is the only vitamin c serum I will use from now on. The only thing I would suggest to the company is to put on the label the percentage of vitamin c, and where the vitamin derived from.
Wonderful serum 5
Melissa from undisclosed
Smells great, feels great on. A little goes a long way. I had started getting some pretty hard lines on the sides of my mouth and between my eye brows. I noted after a month of using this stuff the lines are practically gone... which is so awesome. I also use their repair cream as my moisturizer and put them both on at the same time. It's been really great for my skin. I have combination to dry acne prone skin. This doesn't make me break out 🥰

Andrea from undisclosed
I don't think that I fully understand the purpose of a Vitamin C Serum.... but before bed this is my favourite skin care step. I feel that my skin is instantly brighter and full of life(and the fresh citrus scent just puts me in a good mood).
