    I found this serum through a board search in an attempt to find a vitamin C product suitable for my extremely sensitive skin. Previously, I was using Skinceuticals CE Ferulic, but my skin changed...

    I used an entire tube of this and saw zero change in my sun spots and acne scars. My skin had no adverse reactions to it. In fact t did not respond to it at all. The consistency is like water, and...

    After sampling this a few times, I bought the full-size tube and used the entire thing before writing this. I can't say I noticed a huge difference, therefore just the 3 lippies. It didn't irritate...

    I got this because the reviews here are pretty good. I'm surprised that this product is just like water. And later i found out this is a water soluble vitamin C, instead of oil soluble, which...

    I've only been using this for a week now, so not making any claims just yet. It's horribly expensive here in Singapore (S$70 at Watsons for a tiny 25ml). I'm very curious if this can also be...

    I was recommended by the DHC SA to brighten my skin tone and treat the dark spots around my eye area ( too much sun exposure without protection). I apply it only in the morning first before toning....

    This is the 3rd Vitamin C product that I've tried. I've been using it for about 6 weeks now with no irritation to date. I previously tried both Skinmedica C and LRP Redermic but had to stop using...

    I love this product. My skin feels and looks luminous, and I feel it firms a bit as well. It has a very light texture w/ minimal fragrance. I can't tolerate products that feel heavy, sticky or...

    This makes my skin luminous. I love it and recommend it worn under your moisturizer day and night. Worth it, but I agree it is expensive.

    As I layer skin care products, I like that this has a light watery consistency to it. Contains 8% Vitamin C (magnesium ascorbyl phosphate) and is paraben free. Comes in a .84oz tube that...

    This Vitamin C Essence is 8%, which is alright for the price. However, I do not like the water-like texture. It also does not provide any moisture (unlike the SK-II Facial Treatment Repair C) so a...

    I used this for several months, and it did seem to brighten my skin. When I ran out, I ended up switching to skinceuticals C&E because DHC will not reveal the strength of the vitamin C. Anyway, I...
