Amazing, even for sensitive skin
I love this serum! I have very sensitive skin (i.e.- can't use moisturizer or liquid makeup of any kind without a skin reaction) and this has helped me regain the natural glow that I had in my 20's. I've seen a distinct reduction in redness and and evening of my general skin tone which is amazing ...

Ulta's ingredient list is misleading; Beware allergies!
I was so excited to come across this product online. I'd been looking for a good Vitamin C serum to add to my regimen, but my skin is super picky. The ingredients here seemed so simple and wholesome, I really got ridiculously excited. But lo and behold, the ingredients listed on the main Ulta site a...

Mature skin—I'm 40—and my skin looks radiant right now.
Let's talk about this: my dark circles are very noticeable. I'm just about to finish a jar, and I'm amazed. I have mature skin—I'm 40—and right now my skin looks fresh. I had some dark pigmentation on my face as well as dark circles, and they have definitely faded by about 70%. Of course, I'll keep using it. By the way, I only use this product and a CeraVe sunscreen (SPF 50).
new package-Less product costs more
Witb the new and "improved" packaging youre getting less profict now and paying more, used to be 2.0 oz, now irs 1.7. Companies think theyre sneaky but they are not.
Absolutely love
Ive used this product religiously for years and i absolutely love it!
Allergic reaction
I'm not sure if I was using all of them too much but I got an allergic reaction to the product. Had to return them today. I honestly really wanted to like it, but after a week I realized it just wasn't going to work out.
Peels with other products applied on top
Please keep in my mind this is my own experience, it may be different for you. Ive tried many vitamin C serums and decided to give this a try for something different and read the ingredients and like what i read and so i gave it a shot. Its okay just on its own but if you try to add sunscreen or moisturizer it will cause peeling and yes i let it dry down For a good 10 min and even so it will peel, i also tried with other products to reduce the peeling but it just didnt work for me.

The serum that i got is darker and smells sweeter. Almost looks like honey. Is it still safe and effective to use?
- Asked by Maine
- Official Answer By DERMA E - Brand EngageIt is normal for the batches to vary and change a little overtime. DERMA E incorporates natural ingredients such as herbs and botanicals into its formulas. Sometimes these natural ingredients have slightly different characteristics, such as color or aroma, depending upon the source and the harvest. As a result, our products may vary in color or scent or texture from batch to batch. We don’t use harsh preservatives to keep them 100% consistent.Was this answer helpful to you
