FAQ

Product FAQ


Q. Can I use vitamin C serum every day? 
This is a higher concentration of pure vitamin C, so it may come with skin irritation. We recommend you patch test back of the wrist, or on your neck before first use. It can be used every day, however if your skin feels irritated, please apply the product less frequently at first before increasing the frequency. If your skin feels severe irritated, we recommend you use with a moisturizer but if your skin still feels irritated, please apply the product less frequently or stop using it.


Q. What should you not mix with vitamin C? 
Mixing with hydroxy acid such as AHA, BHA may cause skin irritation, so we don't recommend using them with vitamin C.


Q. What can vitamin C be mixed with? 
Tocotrienol, hyaluronic acid, ceramide, snail, centella


Q. Do you put vitamin C before moisturizer?
Vitamin C is the best to use before skincare. If you use a light water serum-type C serum first and then cover it with a thick cream type, you can absorb more vitamins into your skin.  


Q. It has a strange smell. Is this normal? 
This serum does not contain fragrances. However, the vitamin C, by nature, has a certain smell that does not affect the potency of the product.

Good

I received this from Influenster and CorsRX and i have really enjoyed it. It’s formula is great and i haven’t had an reactions from it. The scent isn’t the best but I’ll keep using it

Love the texture

I received this serum for free from Influenster and COSRC, and this is my honest review. It feels really smooth when you apply this, I believe it’s because this vitamin C also contains vitamin E and Hyaluronic acid. My skin is usually reactive to some products, however I didn’t have any issue trying this brand. The only “downside” (which is not really a problem, just inconvenient) is that you have to storage in a cold place, so I have to remember to go to my fridge to apply the serum every day.

Nah

I received this serum free from Influenster and COSRX. So first thing I noticed is that it smells weird. It’s thick and hard to rub in. Once on my skin I feel a tightening sensation but I don’t think it’s supposed to be a feature and it feels more like it’s tight because it completely feels dehydrated now. An hour after applying I feel a stiff layer of serum on my face and I want to wash it off. My face is also tingling.

no good for me

i received this product as a free sample from influenster and unfortunately it didn’t work for me. my skin gets very easily irritated- and this definitely did not help. it burned my skin and was pretty unusable :( it also smelled completely rancid and was overall unpleasant to use.

Great concentrated serum!

I really like that this serum is highly concentrated and 23% pure vitamin C! It visibly improves the look of wrinkles, uneven/dull skin, and signs of aging. It’s best applied after a toner and followed with a sunscreen. Only a few drops are needed, and spread out from cheekbones to forehead to chin/neck. The only thing I didn’t like was the smell, which is a bit sour. Otherwise, it’s great!
