While I was using this my skin did brighten up and even out, however it stinged and made my skin itch like crazy. Although it is a good product, I would not recommend this product to those with...

I am still debating about this product. It's a nice, light serum, and it doesn't feel like there is anything on your face. The first few days I used it, it was fine, and I noticed acne scars...

I am in my mid 30's with lots of sun damage. After using the Essential-C line for three months, I do see an improvement in my skin tone and fine lines. I recommend this whole line, but it is pricey.

Last year I was a Kinerase devotee, but it started making me puffy around my eyes (not pretty), so I was looking for new product with Vit C when I found this. I got some samples of this at Sephora,...

I used this cream once with just a sample and it actually burned a spot under my lip. Took several days to recover from this. No Thanks

I've been using a sample of this and I'm really impressed with it. It goes on so smoothly and disappears into your skin (it reminds me of a makeup primer, it has that same "dry" texture) and I...

Ever so slight sting which is normal for a vitamin C product thats worth its salt. I like the silicone texture which ever so slightly makes wrinkles look less bold.

I'll start by saying that for the first 2 days I loved this cream. The texture was like velvet and my makeup stayed on all day. It made the texture smoother and didn't burn my skin. It's very...

Made my skin feel very smooth, but created giant zits all over my face- including in places I've never had them before. Too bad.
