Absorbs so well
I have tried a lot of vitamin C, serums and I am quite picky about them. This has to be one of the best I've ever tried. First of all, if you know vitamin C you know that a good potent formula is going to smell like hot dog. It's disgusting, but there's nothing you can do about it… Now that that is ...

My sensitive skin doesn't tolerate it
I received this product for free in exchange for my review. The ingredients list is solid. The fragrance is pleasant and the serum feels nice as it's being applied. 10% is the standard beginner dose of vitamin c, and your skin has to adjust…but this severely dried me out. In general, when introducin...

The serum applies smoothly and absorbs quickly. It could have a better scent, as a rose scent just isn't my favorite. A more citrusy undertone would be Bette Ron my opinion. Did not leave a greasy film afterwards.
Great product

I love the way this product feels on my skin. It's thicker than serums so it doesn't run right off my face. It doesn't really have a scent so that's a plus. I felt like this product brightened my skin some what, but maybe I need more time to see results. If you are wondering, pills under makeup. Overall, a great product! Would recommend.
Didn't love it.

I received this and used it for a few weeks. I saw no visible improvement, no additional brightening or really any other benefit from it. It is a nice texture and absorbs quickly but beyond that, nothing for me. I really didnt like the smell of it either. All that being said, I wouldn't purchase this or recommend it.
I would absolutely repurchase!

I'm very sensitive to vitamin c so I was hesitant at first. This is clearly made of manic because it worked perfectly with my skin! I liked this in the morning followed by SPF. Also REALLY love that it's not in a clear bottle.
My NEW FAVORITE!

My skin is glowing and has never felt so good! I have very sensitive skin and this vitamin C serum has been a game changer! I highly recommend C-Defense Serum if you struggle with sensitivity. My dark spots are lighter and my skin is so refreshed.
