- 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

- Official Answer By StriVectin - SamplingThis serum has two potent forms of Vitamin C to visibly firm, restore clarity & brighten dull, tired skin.

What product has the strongest content of retinol and can this be used on the entire face?
- Asked by Pat
- Official Answer By StriVectin - SamplingYes, our Super-C Retinol Brighten & Correct Vitamin C Serum can be used on the entire face, just be careful around the eye area. You'll apply this product AM & PM daily. When using this during the daytime, just make sure you include sunscreen as the very last step of your skincare routine.

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 ...

Absorbs nicely into the skin and doesn't leave a greasy feeling and no weird smell like some other vitamin c serums. Easy to layer with other products and makeup making it a nice base. Didn't notice to much of a difference with my skin but I probably need to use it longer than a couple weeks.
Love this brightening retinol!

Huge Difference After 30 Days
Verified Reviewer
Submitted as part of a sweepstakes entry

This is my first time trying the Strivectin brand. I have sun-damaged skin and very large pores so vitamin C and Retinol are a very important part of my skincare at the moment. I was very happy to find that this product did not break me out since that has been my main issue with anything containing vitamin C. This Vitamin C - Retinol combination is very gentle on the skin and does not cause any redness or irritation. It absorbs very quickly leaving no greasiness. It layers well with all my products. At first, I loved the scent but after a time it can get a little overwhelming since it is very strong. Scents do not typically bother me so this may not be the best fit for people sensitive to strong skincare scents. After 40 days of use, I can tell a huge difference in my skin. My large pores have almost disappeared and my face is smoother and brighter. I will definitely keep this in my skincare rotation!
