Vitamin C Serum 20% Pure L-Ascorbic Acid, Ferulic Acid, Vitamin E and Hyaluronic Acid for Face and Eyes Natural Anti Aging Anti Wrinkle 1oz. by Dr. Brenner

First and foremost, we all know that 20% potency is where it's at for Vitamin C serums and this delivers just that. It has noticeably helped brighten and even out my skin, especially pesky leftover marks from the occasional breakouts I still get. I also believe the addition of Ferulic Acid and Vitamin E enhances its effectiveness, providing that extra shield against free radicals. Honestly I'm just playing the long game and hoping these benefits prove true in time, ha!Comparing this serum to the much more expensive Skinceuticals alternative, I can confidently say this much more budget-friendly option holds its own. The ingredients list is nearly identical as you'll find on SkinSkool which is what drove me to try this.It was perfectly clear on arrival and has that classic Vitamin C serum scent, IYKYK. I've had it about 6 weeks now and the formula still hasn't taken on that darkening amber color so I trust that the batches are fresh and production quality is high with this brand. Will purchase again and not have to feel so bad about using it on both my face and décolletage given the price point!

I love this serum and had it on subscribe and save. Im soooo sad its no longer Prime. Ugh. I've tried another brand to replace this one and there's no comparison. I used this one for about a year and my skin was noticeably brighter. Its frangrance free. I love the thin consistency. The Chemist Confession skincare chicks recommended it for the vitamin c being more stable than other comparable products. I found that to be true. It did turn sometimes before it ran out but it worked and I love it. Bring it back on Prime please!!!

After doing some research the first product I have received had gone bad. It was brown and had a hotdog water smell to it like people say (accurate). I didn’t know any better thought that was how it was supposed to be, used the entire thing but still pleased with the results i got from that first bottle. The new one is clear and scentless. If you receive a brown one please inform them, it’s a good product if anything use it as a sign it’s the good stuff. Definitely Recommend.Updated: So after contacting the brand directly they sent this photo stating the Middle and left one are good to use if it looks like the one on Right it has completely oxidized and is no longer effective. The reason you may get one that’s brown is because amazon warehouses aren’t rotating their shipments properly but if you order directly from their site you’re guaranteed to get a fresh one.I’ll update to see how this clear one is working for me.

This is exactly the same as SC CE Ferulic. Maybe better. Same smell ( like hot dog water), consistency, color, and effectiveness. I’ll never go back to paying 130$. For me it’s not sticky, it absorbs well and brightens my skin tone. Also seems to make any blemishes disappear. It’s a great serum. I’ll also say i’ve tried countless Vitamin C serums such as Timeless ( sticky af), SC CE ferulic, Skin Devas (which i did like) Mad Hippies, Ole Henrikson, Tru Skin, etc etc and this one is most like the original SC. It will burn if you use an acid before so be careful. It’s very powerful.Update; People saying it smells like hot dogs it’s supposed to and no it shouldn’t be brown or orange when receiving. Yes it’ll turn color after a few months but that’s the name of the game with real vitamin c. Plan on replacing every 3 months. Store in the fridge for longer effectiveness. Also yes it will sting and burn if you don’t know what you’re doing or are sensitive.Photos are one that turned and one fresh delivered today. I’ve bought several times and never gotten a brown or orange one. Pay attention to the lot numbers. They are making several batches in between and this was since April. The one turned light amber/orange about 3 months after purchase but I didn’t keep it in the fridge. This time I am…The SC one i used to buy was light amber day of delivery and I know now that’s not a good thing. So im still saying this is even better…

I’ve tried various types of Vitamin C products in my skin care regimen before finally learning the potent combination of L-Ascorbic acid (20%) + Ferulic acid. Although I’ve never tried more costly brands containing the combination, after using this product and per general consideration of it being a worthy “dupe,” I don’t think I’ll need to, especially at its fair price point.It’s always difficult to objectively measure the effect of a single product especially when considering the time it takes to realistically expect results (weeks to months), your skin’s condition prior to trying, and the combined effects of other products in your skin care regimen. What I can say, at worse, is this product did not adversely affect or react against my face, and at best, did contribute to smoothening my skin texture and balancing my skin tone/color, as claimed.What made me a subscriber, however, is having experienced this product effectively soothe and calm my face at a time when it was in a hyper-sensitive state from exfoliating. This, in combination with moisturizers, accelerated the recovery process. Though I don’t doubt the other benefits it claims, the above became the absolute confirmation that “it works and it works for me.”Note: the product came clear, and is stored inside a drawer when not in use to further slow the rate of inevitable oxidation. After 2 months, it’s developed only a very slight tinge, which I would consider reasonable.
