Noticed a difference after first application

This serum made a visible difference in my skin after one application, especially in my undereye area. Wrinkles and crepiness are less apparent, and my mature facial skin now has a sort of glow to it. It looks hydrated and healthy--and dare I say, younger. I've only been using it for a few days in the morning, but I'm anxious to see how much more improvement I'll see in the weeks and months to come. It's very light, applies easily, plays well with moisturizer and makeup, and there's no stinging or irritation so far. I highly recommend giving it a try.

Very Nice!

I have been using this for only a week so too soon to see a real difference. I use it in the AM as added moisture under the facial SPF moisturizer. I do think it has lightened my under eye area. No problem with using it on my rosacea skin:)

Love it so far!

I was so nervous that this would irritate my skin but I’m so happy it didn’t! I also use their moisturizer and face wash… my skin looks and feels great!

No irritation or breakouts

This serum did a wonderful job of both calming down visible redness and hydrating my skin. Vitamin C serums (L-asorbic and other derivatives) usually cause itritation and breakouts for me, but this did not. The combination of gentle vitamin C and cermaides is great for sensitive skin. I would recommend it.

Holy Grail

Wow!!!!! The moment I put this serum on my hypersensitive skin there was no burning, swelling, or redness!!! I woke up the next morning and my face felt like butter and clearer and I look 20 years younger!!! Man ...I wished I had known about this serum before now...the amount of money I could have saved on high-end and drugstore products and going to the dermatologist because of the reaction to other products that claimed were for sensitive skin. This formula actually has no junk or herbs in it and its claims are true! Shout out to R&D and the dermatologists who oversee this product for those of us with hypersensitive skin!!! Thank you Vanicream!!!

100% Recommend & Love this Vitamin C!

This Vitamin C is gentle but effective. This Vit C It is a much gentler form than say L-Ascorbic acid that can be very irritating and not tolerated by all. I’m on my 3rd bottle and have ordered more to have on hand. Honestly I never want to be without it. Soon after putting it on I noticed a low glow and healthy radiance. I have used it now for a couple months and it has changed the my skin for the better. I notice is is brighter, smoother, more even tone, smaller pores, firmer, more plump, has helped with under eye circles, and yes at 50 more youthful! I have one more resistant dark spot and it has lightened it. This Vitamin C has a light natural clean scent to it, It glides over your skin so smoothly, doesn’t pill, absorbs to a nice smooth finish, layers well under other products such as moisturizer (Vanicream Face etc), under sunscreen, tinted sunscreen, foundation, and under eye concealer perfectly. It did not irritate my skin from day one and has clearly improved my skin and calmed my cheek redness! The pump design is great…no product loss from deipoing or leaking and I have noticed no oxidation of the Vit (no color change in product). Vanicream…Please continue to expand your facial skincare product line.
