Vitamin C Serum 20% Pure L-Ascorbic Acid, Ferulic Acid, Vitamin E and Hyaluronic Acid for Face and Eyes Natural Anti Aging Anti Wrinkle 1oz. by Dr. Brenner

I’ve ordered this 15 times! 15! It’s so good, and I think even better than the expensive brands. They’ve changed the packaging to a pump so the product has less contact with air. This keeps it from degrading which was an issue in the past. I use it every day and it absorbs quickly, works well under makeup, and creates a beautiful skin tone.

This is exactly the same as SC CE Ferulic. Maybe better. Same smell ( like hot dog water), consistency, color, and effectiveness. I’ll never go back to paying 130$. For me it’s not sticky, it absorbs well and brightens my skin tone. Also seems to make any blemishes disappear. It’s a great serum. I’ll also say i’ve tried countless Vitamin C serums such as Timeless ( sticky af), SC CE ferulic, Skin Devas (which i did like) Mad Hippies, Ole Henrikson, Tru Skin, etc etc and this one is most like the original SC. It will burn if you use an acid before so be careful. It’s very powerful. Update; People saying it smells like hot dogs it’s supposed to and no it shouldn’t be brown or orange when receiving. Yes it’ll turn color after a few months but that’s the name of the game with real vitamin c. Plan on replacing every 3 months. Store in the fridge for longer effectiveness. Also yes it will sting and burn if you don’t know what you’re doing or are sensitive. Photos are one that turned and one fresh delivered today. I’ve bought several times and never gotten a brown or orange one. Pay attention to the lot numbers. They are making several batches in between and this was since April. The one turned light amber/orange about 3 months after purchase but I didn’t keep it in the fridge. This time I am… The SC one i used to buy was light amber day of delivery and I know now that’s not a good thing. So im still saying this is even better…

Love!! I’ve tried a ton of vitamin C serums and I never really noticed any kind of difference with them but I had come across this one on a medical blog. I have a thyroid problem that makes me have really bad hormonal cystic break outs and it recommend trying this to help prevent break out and fade scars/dark spots. I noticed a HUGE difference after one night of using this!! I wish I would have taken pictures but I didn’t expect it to work so well. I told all my friends to go buy it too. I also recently started using a derma roller (also bought on amazon) with this and literally the next day I’m shocked at how even and toned my skin looks. I subtracted 1 star because even though the product is effective I’m really not a fan of the texture. The serum is sticky which makes it hard to apply and I usually have to wash my hands after because they are also sticky. When I apply the serum I usually have to do it with a night moisturizer or another oil, and sometimes the extra oil makes me have a white head or two the next morning. Nothing serious just the really small kind that scratched off without leaving any kind of mark. But because of the sticky ness of the serum I’m not able to put it on during the day time because it makes my makeup/primer not stick to my skin and almost like peel off? But all that aside it is still awesome and totally worth it and I just keep using it at night stil! Can’t wait to try other dr. Brenner products now!

This is a 10/10 for me as far as Vit-C serums go. I’ve tried a lot of brands including Prequel and Timeless. This is better by a long shot. The consistency is light and a little like oil like the others, but absorbs so fast on your skin. I loved the effects of Timeless, but my face always felt like an oil slick when I put it on and it took a little long to absorb before I could put anything else on top. This is quick and keeps my morning moving while I’m getting ready for work. Just like all of them, there’s a light hotdog water smell until it dries, but it doesn’t linger. The airless pump makes such a difference over the dropper bottles. I feel like the product stays fresh, won’t oxidize as fast, and isn’t being contaminated. Even still, I keep it in a cabinet to keep it away from light. I saw some reviews to buy direct from Dr Brenner, but I had no issues from Amazon being the seller on this purchase.

Love, love the product. Very close to that of SC minus the smell and stickiness. However, I despise the new pump!!! Shoots the serum all over the place and not where I want it to go. I’m sure there is a better pump mechanism out there as this one is not good. Dr. Brenner you can find a better air-tight pump than this one!!!!

Just got this a few days ago, so I can't really attest to the effects yet. My write-up isn't about that aspect. Pros: But KUDOS to their NOT being any oil in this. Us sensitive skin types that tend to break out with anything new thank you for not exacerbating that. I've researched far and wide for a high potency Vit C serum (w/ Vit E) WITHOUT oils in it and they don't really exist in a reasonable price point. Others have jojoba or castor seed or something oil in it and I break out so bad with past Vit C serum purchases by other brands instantly; have NOT (yet) with THIS ONE. yay! Next point: yes to having Vit E in there!! Yes, to the type of Vit C in it -- lots of research on this type w/proven results. Its a simple list of ingredients which is easy to decipher. Cons: The smell...someone mentioned it. Like a cross between smoked scent, and a faint whiff of beef jerky. YES! That is it. It's not super potent but it's there..just like a wafting whiff of it as if someone opened beefjerky in another room and you smell it. I hate it. Makes me not want to use it, and keep searching for a unicorn Vit C/E serum. The smell doesn't dissipate, but I have the nickname "super sniffer" so maybe I'm overly sensitive. I layered another face gel-cream with a scent over it to see if that made it go away...nope. it comes through. I will only use this at night now as a result. I hate additives for no reason, and tend to steer clear of heavy fragrance in face products, but this needs an additive fragrance that is as natural as can be and still suitable for sensitive types. Not lavendar, not rose as those can aggravate some. Just something...how about legit citrus fragrance? Also, I'd like it a bit cheaper to be slightly more competitive with comparable companies/products, but it's still reasonable. Fact: it's really watery-liquidy. I wasn't expecting that but that owes to there not being oils in there. Not bad thing, just to note. Will update with results.

*update* I am now happy this isnt Prime anymore. I tried a couple other serums with similar ingredients after this was no longer available for subscribe and save and they were awful. The other products I tried to replace this with were sticky and scented. Just terrible formulas imo. I ended up ordering Dr. Brenners again regardless of the non Prime status because I now knew this serum is superior. Ive ordered twice now where the item is shipping from what I assume is the Dr. Brenners warehouse vs an Amazon warehouse and the its obvious the formula is fresher than it was when it was on Prime. Now its always very clear and it feels more "activated" when applying. Dr. Brenners warehouse also ships it nicely wrapped in tissue paper and it feels like I am recieving a quality well packaged item. Sometimes the serum when it shipped Prime had already started to oxidize before Id even opened the bottle. As a side note, I used to use another vitamin c serum from Pauals Choice at triple the price as this serum is and Dr. Brenners is still better. This is one of the 1st and few face products Ive used where I could visibly see a difference in my skin and knew that my skin looked better as a direct result of this one product. I recommended this to a friend of mine and she noted the same thing. I love this serum and had it on subscribe and save. Im soooo sad its no longer Prime. Ugh. I've tried another brand to replace this one and there's no comparison. I used this one for about a year and my skin was noticeably brighter. Its frangrance free. I love the thin consistency. The Chemist Confession skincare chicks recommended it for the vitamin c being more stable than other comparable products. I found that to be true. It did turn sometimes before it ran out but it worked and I love it. Bring it back on Prime please!!!

This is the second vitamin C serum I’ve purchased. The first was the Timeless serum which has a similar formulation w 20% Vit C and ferulic acid and Vit E. I didn’t like the smell of that, so I used the entire bottle but didn’t want to repurchase. It never caused me any problems- no redness, sensitivity, pain, nothing. Neither could I tell any difference in my skin. However experts say Vit C is excellent for the skin in the daytime under moisturizer and sunscreen so I did it. I decided to try a new brand, and settled on this one. The first few days no problem- it has the exact same smell as the Timeless, a little less strong, so that must just be how these ingredients smell (kind of like jerky, yes meat jerky- it’s strange!) After a few days I started experiencing irritation on my extremely non-sensitive skin (I use 0.3% tretinoin every day for over 6 months with no sensitivity whatsoever, a tad extra dryness is all). At first I just thought it was maybe the chemical sunscreen I had been using, as I usually use a mineral sunscreen. However after several days, once I put it on my face it burned like crazy and turned my skin red and painful! I couldn’t put anything on my face without it stinging, not even my benign moisturizers. I used plain oil and while messy, that did not sting. This lasted for about a week after I stopped using the Vit C. It has calmed down now and I can use my normal products again, but require LOTS of extra moisturizer. I attached a picture of how it affected my neck. The important thing to note here is that my skin is NOT sensitive. I can do scrubs and peels and microdermabrasion and acids/exfoliators and tretinoin and never have any problems. This is the first skincare product That has ever done this to me. So if you are really interested in trying this formulation, try it just 1x/week and work your way up slowly, esp if u have sensitive skin (or even if u don’t). As for me, I will try to return it, but as it’s a beauty product I may not be able to. If I can’t return it, I’m not sure if I’ll try it again, just once a week or something, or if it’s even worth it. I may try Naturium or The Ordinarys Vit C serums for something more benign and cost-effective.

Es un excelente producto, mi piel es sensible y lo tolera bastante bien, siento el cambio al momento que me lo pongo, es la segunda vez que lo compro y estoy muy contento.

It doesn't work, I purchased in November 2018 nd still in my face no difference

This is fairly a good brand which is why this is my second bottle. I love the consistency and the texture when applied to my face. It doesn't sting even around my eyes and lips and doesn't pill with the Sunscreen i am using. Really happy with the feeling. However, i do not see any significant lightening of the acne marks and sun damaged parts of my face. I guess it will work overtime. Let us see.

Effetto luminoso e rimpolpato senza appesantire. Fa davvero la differenza, lo riacquisterò sicuramente.

Received product with good condition.. Thanks!
