Want to use this on everything in my lifeI've been looking into how to update my skincare routine since I'm nearing 30 (I'm turning 29 this year) and kept reading about how I should add in a Vitamin C serum. Most of the Vitamin C serums I found were in the $70-90 dollar range and I didn't want to spend THAT much money on a product I wasn't sure about. I thought I'd try to Mario Badescu serum as a "beginner" serum since I wasn't going to worry about retinol or higher end serums until after I turned 30. I've been using it for about a month and I'm now OBSESSED with this serum and refuse to go without it. I have more sensitive/breakout prone skin and was worried it would be too harsh for me, but I use a generous amount on the nights I apply it and I've never had any issues with redness or increased sensitivity. I use it every other night (based on recommendations I'd read for Vitamin C serums) and let it sink in while I brush my teeth before putting on my moisturizer. This product has made more difference to my skin than anything else I've used before. After just one application, I woke up the next day to soft, smooth skin like I haven't felt in years. After using it regularly, my skin texture has improved tremendously and I'm not dealing with little dry, flaky areas on my forehead and cheeks like I have been. My mom and little brother both commented that it seemed to be improving my acne scars as well when they saw me without makeup. I also swear it's reducing my breakouts because I'll normally have a hormonal breakout along my jaw once a month, but those are almost non-existent now. I get significantly fewer whiteheads than I did before; I still get the occasional one, but they're much less frequent and they clear up fast. I love this so much that I bought it for my best friend for her 29th birthday because her skin is like mine!Ok product.This serum definitely does make the skin nice and smooth. The one single problem I am having with this product is it's making me have a weird reaction on my chin and laugh line area. The skin is very itchy with ruff skin that seems to have tiny little bumps on said area. There also seems to be some clear fluid discharge. This is very rare for me since I've used really potent products before (a few years ago not together with this product) I've used the product a few different ways and every time I use this on said area my face reacts at the same spots every time. Went to the doc and I have to put cortisone cream since they think it's "contact dermatitis". It seems like the product works well for a lot of people. So I am very sad that I have to go and return this serum at my local Ulta.

A+

This is my 3rd time and still a fan! Smell is good, a little goes a long way. My skin looks healthy .

Made my skin breakout after 1 use

Skin broke out after one nights use. I love other products in this line but cannot recommend the Vitamin C serum. I wasted my money on this purchase as it is now in the trash

Smells absolutely disgusting when applied

Tried this for the first time tonight. Initially the scent of this product is earthy but tolerable, like tea tree oil, then it degrades into something I can't quite describe - somehow both chemical-y and trash-y at the same time. Even if this product works a miracle, the scent is a dealbreaker for me.

I will buy this product again

It's amazing and it's really worth a try a lot of products it didn't work desk on 100%. I love it.

Used to be the best vit C ever BUT THEY CHANGED FORMULA

2022-09-27

The old formula had pure absorbing acid and worked better than the really expensive ones from my doctor I gave this to so many friends and family members who also love it but now the new ingredients don't work anywhere near as well as the old ones. So sad. Please bring back the old formula
