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. KEEP REFRIGERATED (3~10C) *Please use immediately after purchase and store upright in refrigerator once opened.

- Q
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

Great potent vitamin C
It works great. I prepared to buy, i purchased lower %'s of vitamin C and was building up my skin's strength to buy this. Idk the smell is not that bad to me, the smell dissipates when I use it. I'm in my 2nd month using this and I can already tell it's working better than alot of Vitamin C's I've t...

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! I have Combo skin with an oily t zone. No massive skin concerns outside of the early signs of aging at 30 and some uneven skin ton...

Fishy smell right away
Smelled like tuna fish the first week I started using it. I stored it in my bathroom cabinet, so I'm not sure why it started to smell but i really couldn't take it. Threw this away, going back to my other vitc serum.
Broke me out
I usually love cosrx products but this one I should've just left on the shelf. First of all it has a terribe smell, I literally had to do a double take when I first opened the bottle. It also feels sticky and just sits on top of my skin instead of being absorbed. I haven't been using this product for long, and as much as I would like to see if it actually brightens my skin, I've noticed terrible breakouts all over my skin the last couple of days since using this, and it's the only thing I've recently added to my routine. Definitely will be returning, highly disappointed
It's sticky
It's very sticky which make it difficult to work under moisturizer and make up
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.
