After cleansing, during the serum phase, shake the bottle lightly once or twice from side to side and apply a few drops to the skin. Use fingertips to gently massage and absorb the serum, starting from the inside of the face working towards the edges. For the first use, attach the enclosed dropper in the product package. Recommended to use within 2 months of opening due to active ingredient protection. Highly concentrated serum should only be used in the evening? NO! This serum can be used in the morning and/or afternoon. If applied in the morning, be sure to use with a SPF of 30 or higher.
Precautions: Gas can be generated due to the nature of vitamin C. When opening the cap, it may make a sound. With a specially designed cap to seal vitamin C, it can be safely stored by controlling the gas generated inside the container. If you shake it before opening, it may overflow, so shake lightly, from left to right after fastening the pipette. Extra room in the container has been secured for safe use. Vitamin C products are recommended to be used within 2 months of opening due to easy discoloration caused by oxidation. Keep it away from high temperatures and direct sunlight. It is recommended to be stored in the refrigerator when it is not being used every day after fastening the pipette. Keeping it refrigerated can help maintain the freshness of the vitamin C.

Shelf life? A few months after purchase, the product is very orange, no bad odor and the texture is the same. Is it safe to use?
- Asked by LF
- Official Answer By COSRX - Brand EngageThe shelf life of the Vitamin C 23 Serum is two months after opening. It's common for Vitamin C products to change color to a more orange hue over time due to oxidation. To maintain the potency of the serum, please store it in the refrigerator, and make sure to tightly close the cap after each use. If the color is already dark brown when it is opened, please contact customer support for an exchange.Was this answer helpful to you

Decent enough product but the purge is bad
Received this for free from influenster and CosRX in exchange for my honest review. (Also wrote this review 6x because this website sucks) I wanted to love this so much!

Would buy again
Love how this product showed me an immediate difference and the following days of applications! This was recommended to me by a skin specialist so I'm happy to have listened to them!
Confused about what this product is
Part of the label says Vitamin C, another says Vitamin E. This product also has an unpleasant smell.
It was not what I expect
I have to admit my face did look brighter after each application however It also dried my face and my lines were more noticeable when I applied makeup on my face.
Smells like pee
I like the formulation, and I think Cosrx is a good brand. But the smell is so bad - I hold my breath every time I add drops to my face. It smells like pee- I'm not kidding.
Best Vitamin C I've ever used!
Absolute game changer for my skin. Also love that its in an obpaque bottle for being vitmain C. The smell I've gotten used to and don't mind at all. I'd personally rather smell an organic smell than toxic frangrances.
