Alina Skin CareAward Winning & Dermatologist Recommended Vitamin C Serum for Reduction of Fines Lines & Wrinkles. Enhances Skin Radiance, Texture and Skin Tone,White 1.0 Ounce

I didn't know what to expect when I purchased this. I mainly wanted something to moisturize around my eyes after I take off eye make up. After using it at night, and the next morning, I noticed that my deep bags under my eyes minimized, and my dark circles were less prominent. It's hard to find something that would help that. Not sure if this product is suppose to aid in eye puffiness, but it sure fixed that problem for me.This is the only product I have tried that didn't make my eyes feel inflamed. I tried instanatural products for undereye dark circles, and it made my eyes feel like they were ready to explode. I will say that this product burns. After rubbing it in for 5 seconds, I felt burning. Not sure if it's because of working up heat from the rubbing, but I know this was not the manufacturers intention. And this happens every time; I use this 2x a day. I never thought my skin to be sensitive, but it apparently is so if this is the reaction I get. But I get no redness, nor blisters. Just the burning sensation if I rub it on my skin for 5 seconds or more.The smell is not something I like too much, but if you love the smell of citrus, you'll love this product. Very orange-smelling.Due to the fact that I look younger, and my long time battle for eye puffiness is now under control, I rated this product 5/5 despite my small reaction. I would definitely recommend to my friends.

Very good product. I've bought it twice now and will purchase again. Nothing will work miracles, but this serum goes on more like a cream and isn't runny like vitamin c or hyaluronic drops. Very pleasant and clean citrus smell and a light tingling when you first start to use it that I actually rather liked. I tend to go through it rather quickly since I use it twice a day, but feel it's worth the money and has a positive effect on my skin's texture and appearance.Update: I am now almost done with my second bottle of Alina and am about to order my third so I don't run out. It isn't a miracle cure for aging because nothing is, but I really do think it nourishes my skin an makes it much softer. This is a big deal because I am a total product hopper... if something doesn't work the way I hope it will I move n to something else. Rarely do I buy the same thing twice, let alone 3 times so that really speaks to how pleased I am with this creamy serum. It's honestly a quality product that I plan to continue to use for a long time (or at least until someone comes up with an actual fountain of youth, lol).

NOTE: I WAS NOT PAID TO REVIEW THIS PRODUCT NOR DID I RECIEVE IT FREE FROM THE COMPANY.I hate buying things on amazon lately because of how shady the reviews are. I've been duped so many times, relying on reviews and buying the product only to realize it's a piece of horse crap and I couldn't fathom how anyone was able to use it.This isn't one of those products. I'm actually not sure how many of the reviews here are real and unbiased but I purchased this almost a year ago after reading reviews (and not checking for honesty). The ingredients had me sold.First thing, size is tiny. But it has lasted me around 8 months. I'm at the bottom of the bottle now and I have to use the end of a spoon to scrape out what's left. Having this in a pump is great for lack of contamination but it's difficult because the serum is a bit thick to pump out when it's all the way at the bottom of the glass. And there's no way I'm going to throw it out or dilute it so I pretty much have to scrape. Pain in the ass but worth it.The smell, it's like a very strong citrus smell. Fresh oranges with a tiny dash of lemon. I can also tell it has quite a large amount of Vitamin C in it as my skin tingles (strongly might I add) and if I'm using it after I've used a retinol product the night before it can even sting a bit. But I have sensitive skin that is acne-prone and eczema-prone as well.The texture, it's very similar to cetaphil cream, not the lotion. It goes on smooth and it always leaves my face looking bright.Lastly, effectiveness. I bought this to help fade post-acne marks/hyperpigmentation. I have marks everywhere and a large dark strip on my forehead that isn't the same color as the rest of my skin. It definitely has softened my marks. They're still noticeable but definitely not as dark as before and that's with 8 months of use. I honestly thought they would have disappeared by now however, I've only been using this in the day time, before my moisturizer. So once a day use for 8 months will definitely get you results but it won't completely erase them. Another plus, it never once broke me out or caused acne. It doesn't leave my face dry or tight. In fact, I use this alone as a moisturizer in the summer and put sunscreen over it and my face didn't need any extra moisture. Now that it's winter, I do put a few drops of hemp seed oil over it.Overall, it works. It's a slow job though. I wish it had a thinner consistency for the pump so no product goes to waste or gets contaminated, I took off a star for that.Everything else is perfect. If the reviews are a sham, the product definitely isn't.
