I bought this serum at Nordstrom after reading the Paula's Choice review. She highly recommended this product. I applied the serum after cleansing my face. It felt like a primer and not a serum....

I initially didn't like this product but now I love it. I think the reason I had problems with it is because of its texture. As mentioned previously, it is quite thick and not like a typical serum....

I use this Vit C serum as a primer in the morning. It is a little thick, and it will sting a little because of the Vit C and the lactic acid--so don't get it too close to your eyes. This...

I got a sample of this serum, I believe from Sephora. I did not experience the burning that other reviewers did so it's possible the formula has been changed. However, I could not stand the...

I purchased the value pack of the "travel size" items, and this was included. I'd put off trying it until I wouldn't be embarrassed in case my hypersensitive skin had an allergic reaction. It is...

I have three complaints about this product: 1 - most formulas marketed as "serums" are watery, so they absorb immediately; this is more the consistency of a primer (as others have noted), 2 - the...
