Improvements w/ Hyperpigmentation
I got the 'Vanicream Vitamin C' because I had 'Tinea Versicolor' which is the cause of an overproduction of yeast in the face. I'm 19 and this usually affects children and teens. I got it treated but after it left 'hyperpigmentation' around my nose and at the corners of my lips which made me look li...

Caused a rash!
I'm going to keep writing my review of this to warn others and to make sure Ulta posts this - to those with sensitive skin- this is very irritating. And the kicker is that it didn't irritate my skin on day 1, 2 or 3 of using it. Around day 4, the skin on my face was rough, dry and bumpy. This is whe...

The goat
So cheap, so effective! The only thing that truly lightened my acne scars. I just finished my first bottle (it last for months) and i truly notice a real difference in the brightness of my skin. Plus the consistency is so nice and it doesn't clog my pores.
Best every day vitamin C cream
I've used many expensive vitamin c creams most of which have either oxidized before buying or soon after. I've even stored them in the fridge and yet they still turn orange and lose efficacy. Drunk Elephants vitamin C serum turned orange within days (even in the fridge) and did nothing at all. This vitamin C is soothing and doesn't cause inflammation. THD when used consistently will protect and soothe the skin. It's highly moisturizing with ceramides. When I want something stronger I buy Exuviance's vitamin C serum capsules which can irritate but work well for improving collagen and skin appearance. Vanicream vitamin C is my everyday cream.
Better for sensitive skin
I have redness/ rosacea flareups, especially in the winter. I was trying to pinpoint the cause. I switched the normal vitamin c serum to vanicream vitamin c serum. For the last two days, I have only used this plus la roche posts cicaplast balm b5+ ad a barrier cream over top. I can see improvement in just two days. Before and after pic included
Is a good serum when you are tight on budget
I normally use this to resolve and keep up the effects while being in a tight budget season. Is good for sensitive skin. For thise saying they are not seeing results is because this formulation uses a more hydrating and sensitive skin friendly version of vitamin c. You can not THD with a stronger abacorbic acid formulation. I would still recommend it.
Not What I Hoped
I've used drunk elephant, naturium, timeless 20%, maelove glowmaker, and dr Brenner vitamin c serum. I found this version to cause redness and it also tasted like coconuts. If it didn't make my face so red (this happened with Timeless and drunk elephant too) I would love it but everytime I put it on I look sunburned.
