- Q
Does 1.7 oz bottle arrive sealed, and dropper placed in side compartment in box, or does it arrive with dropper already in the bottle, no tape seals??
- Asked by CindyW
- Official Answer By StriVectin - SamplingThe dropper arrives already inside the bottle to prevent the dropper from breaking inside the box during transit. The bottle will ship in its own product box.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Do I need to use a separate retinol serum with this product?
- Asked by B
- Official Answer By StriVectin - SamplingIf you're aiming to achieve a specific level of retinol, you're welcome to use additional retinol products alongside this one. However, we recommend patch testing the combination by applying the formulas from the lightest to the heaviest consistency. This will help ensure that your skin doesn’t react negatively. That said, it's not essential to use multiple retinol products; you may find that this one alone is sufficient to address your skin concerns.Was this answer helpful to you

Worth trying if you're getting into the skincare game
I know it's good practice to have both of these things implemented into a skincare routine so I was excited to try this since the formula has both Retinol AND Vitamin C in the formula..I was taking 2 steps and combining them! This was my first time using Retinol and I was worried because I read it ...

Not doing this again.
I was excited to try this but was concerned about the mix i.e. Retinol + Vit C. I didn't realize these could be mixed as most sites say not to mix a retinoid and an acid. I am not new to retinols. I used this 2x a week, Tue, Fri, for two weeks. One day I had to take a double look at my face and ...

Thank you @influenster & @strivectin for sending me this complimentary Super-C Retinol Brighten & Correct Vitamin C Serum in exchange for my honest opinion. 🧡💖🧡💖🧡 I have used this serum before & it's one of my top 5 favorite serums of all time because of how incredibly effective it is. I was super excited to get this full size 1oz bottle! 💖 This serum combines the benefits of Vitamin C (brightening) & Retinol (smoothing fine lines & wrinkles) together in a gentle formula. I've never had any issues with this serum, even though my skin can be sensitive. There is absolutely no redness, no purging, no flaking. There's a citrus scent that goes away in a couple of minutes, but I personally love the citrus scent. It's very refreshing! The serum absorbs easily & it doesn't cause pilling, so it's suitable to wear under makeup. 🧡💖🧡💖🧡 It's extremely important to always wear sunscreen when using serums that contain Vitamin C & Retinol. I only use this serum at night, but I highly suggest wearing sunscreen no matter when you apply this serum. Always patch test before using until you know how it will affect your skin. 💖
Great Serum!

I don't have a ton of knowledge and history with vitamin C products, but I've been happily impressed by NIA 114's Super-C Retinol! I'm not a big fan of the smell, it's pretty strong in my opinion, but it disappears very quickly. When it dries I notice an immediate smoothing affect on my skin. The areas applied are brighter and visibly look much better, it also works very well with my water based primer. Very happy with it and I can't wait to see the long term benefits!
Just ok

This vitamin-c serum was ok. It has a perfume scent that I do not necessarily want on my face. The serum itself leaves a sticky after residue, which deters me from wanting to use it.

Strivectin Super-C Retinol Brighten & Correct Vitamin C Serum packs two powerhouse ingredients: Vitamin C for brightness and Retinol for smoothing in one easy step. The texture is light, absorbs fast, and works well under my moisturizer. I love the sturdy pump bottle, and the light citrus scent makes it feel fresh. After a couple of weeks, my skin looked more even and felt smoother without any dryness. It's a bit of a splurge but worth it if you want glow and smoother skin without using multiple products.

Okay, wow. This stuff seriously turned my skin from "meh" to "hello, glow!" I've been using it for a couple weeks and I already see a difference—brighter, smoother, and just overall more alive. It's like coffee for my face. The combo of vitamin C and retinol is no joke. My skin feels firmer, looks clearer, and that annoying dullness? Gone. Plus, no irritation—which is rare for me with retinol anything. I love that it smooths out those tiny texture issues and soft lines without feeling heavy or greasy. It just sinks in and gets to work. Honestly, it makes me look like I've been sleeping 8 hours, drinking water, and minding my business—even when I haven't. 😏 Total win in my skincare lineup.
