I find Vitamin C products can vary in results on my skin due to sensitivity so I've become very particular about what goes on my face. To my surprise this Glow Recipe Vitamin C Serum has been the best Vitamin C product I've used on my skin.

Overall
As a POC Vitamin C can be essential to help with hyperpigmentation and initially I didn't think this product did much to help me but after a few weeks I started to see the benefits pop up. My skin tone looked so much clearer and brighter. I am confident that this product actually works and you just need to be consistent and patient in application. The biggest downfalls were that it seemed to run out faster than I thought, mine ran out after a month on my second day in Australia. To make it better, the next day the bottle fell two feet off my counter and shattered into a million pieces on the hotel tile bathroom floor so I couldn't bring it with me to show associates at the Sephora stores. I might even argue that during that first week without it I saw the greatest benefits of the serum. Given it costs $45 and only lasted me one month I would consider this a middle luxury skin care product, but I would still recommend it to anyone looking for a good Vitamin C Serum to boost their routine.
