   I so wanted to love this stuff after teading the good reviews, but I had the most horrific reaction to it, twice! I wanted to make sure that this was the culprit. I got severe rash that itched like crazy, and red welts. Ugh.

   Purchased this based on other reviews. It’s the first Vitamin C serum I’ve ever tried and I love, love, love it.
   Found at CVS for around $21.00 – a bargain for skincare products, and I love that it’s in a pump instead of a jar. I slather on it pretty liberally so it takes a while to sink in, then use Lumene Overnight Bright cream over it. Noticed my pores were smaller after one use, and after about 2 weeks my skin texture has improved and my skin looks brighter. I also use Lumene Bright Now SPF 15 moisturizer during the day, when I think about it. Have never been consistent with skincare products, but seeing the results I’ve gotten with this one motivates me to be more consistent.

   This is a great product! I have been using it for years and my skin ‘s condition has improved greatly… no more fine lines, a brighter “glow” to my complexion, my skin is soft and supple, also, after one application my face was moisturized during the whole day. I highly recommend this product, as for the price… remember that one bottle will last for a long time, as a small amount of product goes a long way. This product is for all skin types.

   For a drugstore serum, this is pretty good. My skin soaks it up (mature, combo, aging). I like to use at night because my foundation already has a serum built in and it would be too oily. Nice citrus scent, might be an issue for those with very sensitive skin, but it didn’t bother me.

   If you’re new to serums and/or on a budget, this one is definitely worth trying, especially if you’re, ahem, of a certain age.

   This saves my skin during the winter months in this God forsaken place called Finland and it is a finnish product I love love looove! Its affordable and my skin just drinks this cocktail so fast and its a pity it rans out so quickly. A skinsaver for me and I use this every morning and night and I am safe during the winter months. Love this and will buy another bottle as I am on to my first one now. Cheap and effective for my dry skin. No breakouts is also a plus. Just amazing product.

   So glad I bought this! I’ve used water-based Vitamin C serums before and wasn’t a huge fan because I found them to be drying. This dry oil is the opposite – it dries quickly so I can wear it under makeup, but it’s also hydrating. When I use this at night, I don’t use a separate moisturizer, although if it’s really cold I may need to layer a moisturizer on top. Since using this serum, my skin has been brighter, smoother, and clearer. I can’t say that it’s lightening any dark spots, but I will update in a few weeks as lightening effects can take some time. The scent is nice, it smells fruity but not cloying. The pump dispenser sometimes squirts too hard so be careful to aim it directly into your palm, as it may not dispense cleanly onto fingers. Overall, I’m pleased with this serum.

   I have dry and olive skin…..terrible combination. Leaves my skin very tired, dark, and aged in appearance. I live for this. It not only moisturizes, it brightens and evens my skin tone. I will continue to use this and recommend this product to anyone with dry and less than glowing skin. For a drugstore buy it’s worth it’s wait in gold to me lol. My 12 year old thought she could add it to her regime considering we share everything….however this I made OFF LIMITS lol 🙂

   This is my skin saver! I can not believe it took me so many years to try this miracle product! My skin is super sensitive, acne prone (hormonal issues), oily and dry. I also have problems with redness and my skin often looks dull. So not an easy skin to handle.
   I have always been very afraid of oil treatments, because they usually make my skin shiny, oily and very break out prone. I have tried also oils that are suitable for acne skin, but nah, no good results there.

   This winter my skin has been super dull, it has been like a grey blanket. The hormonal acne is under control with my kiehl´s rare earth line products, but they make my skin look a little bit dead. Since I love the rare earth line, and I do not want to change them, I decided to search for brightening products and I remembered this one. I found many positive reviews about this product and decided to give it a try.

   And boy I am glad I did!!!
   Since the first application my skin has looked so so so much better! It became clearer, glowy and really moisturized in a couple of days. In one week most of my acne scarring had faded away, my pores looked smaller and now, after one month use my skin is not that red as it used to be (I have little rosaccea), my skin looks like it has some glow coming from inside, i have almost no pores, my skin feels very moisturized, all fine lines near my eyes and brows are almost gone, I have ZERO pimples (that´s something unbelieveable for me!) and for the first time in like ten years I have been able to be without any foundation or make up. Usually I hate looking at my bare skin, but now it actually looks quite nice. It´s healthy and glowing. Ofcourse I still have some redness and some red marks from past pimples, but all in all my skin has not looked this good since I was eleven years old.

   I use this magic product quite lot: 2 or 3 drops in the evening after toner and before moisturizer, and 1 or 2 drops in the weekend mornings since it takes a couple of hours to sink in or it will make the face shine. The product seems to run out quite fast, I bought mine one month ago and I only have 1/3 left. So one bottle lasts for 1,5months. Fortunately it is only 16 euros, so not as bad as many other serums. The glass bottle is super beautiful and I like the dual phase idea, it is nice to shake the bottle. One thing I do not like is the cap. You can not lock it an it is difficult to travel with it.

   All in all, my new favourite product!

   I’ve been using this product for about a month now, and on my second week of usage, I ran out to cvs and bought another.

   It’s helps a lot, especially in those cold dry winter months.
   My face has a glow and my make up holds up and wears much easier after I apply this to my face.

   I know the oils don’t mix perfectly – of course they don’t.
   You just shake it and pump once and apply.
   There will be slight separation, but as long as you get enough of both the reddish oil and yellowish oil, you’re good to go.
   It’s not like your face will look uneven, or you’ll get totally uneven application on your skin.

   I know this feels slightly sticky when you first apply it to your face, but all oil essence I’ve used were like that. (I used Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery essence before this)
   It feels sticky at first, but then it melts in and your face feels sort of like a baby’s bottom, soft and supple.
   You only need one small pump, any more than that and your face might feel overwhelmed.

   No pimples or weird breakouts so far. I love this product.

    This product saved my face this winter! I had flaky, dry, sensitive, red, broken out skin all over my face (never experienced anything like it, and I suspect it was a result of to much aha-acids+ the cold dry climate of Norway). I tried a lot of products, nothing helped (just got my skin more itchy and red). Then I found my facesaver! It felt calming and smooth, in about a week my skin was significantly more moisturized and on its way back to normal. I also think it helped with scaring from breakouts. Now I use it mostly at night, and will probably not need it that much in the summer.
