This is absolutely my favorite vitamin c product I have tried so far (and I’ve tried the super popular Klair’s vitamin c serum, which I liked but not as much as this one). It has a water-like texture and absorbs pretty quickly. I’ve almost finished my first bottle and it is hands down one of the only products that has visibly, dramatically improved my acne scarring. For instance, I have some fairly old scarring on my upper arms that I thought would never go away (and I was ready to wear long sleeves for the rest of my life lmao) but this serum has made the scarring almost completely disappear—yeah, I was shook too. Overall this product has evened out my complexion so much! I’m for sure repurchasing this again and again. 

Recommendations. I think anyone looking for a way to diminish their pigmentation issues and even-out their complexion would see great results using this. I feel like a vitamin c product is a staple in most people’s skincare routines for good reason. This is probably one of the lightest and most affordable formulas you’ll find out there with equally amazing results as something much more expensive. Some warnings though. This is a very concentrated vitamin c product so it can be irritating, like it might cause a tingling sensation or slightly warm burning feeling on first applying it. But this wasn’t a big deal to me as it went away once my skin got used to the product and I think it’s normal with something like this. I personally use this in the morning, usually everyday if I’m not exfoliating or using some other product&#47;ingredient that should not be used with vitamin c (do your research!). I don’t use this at night because I use a retinoid, which you should not use at the same time as vitamin c. If you get any unusual amount of irritation from using this vitamin c serum, check what other ingredients you used at the same time because a lot of ingredients (e.g. ahas&#47;bhas, retinoids, niacinamide) should not be used with vitamin c. Not only will using these things at once probably obliterate the effectiveness of the vitamin c serum, you’ll likely irritate your skin. Also, keep this in the fridge or a cool, dark place and don’t leave it out, sitting open for too long. If she’s left out in the sun or air too long, she’ll oxidize (becoming yellow&#47;orange) and lose potency (aka become less effective). If you can see from my photos, the serum should be clear!

Any cons? It is quite pricey at $26.00 for 250 ml, some sites even have it listed as $30-45. I personally find it worth it, as I&#39;ve tried too many to count that did not work for me (PKY, soonjung, cezanne, hada labo, kiku). It is also less accessible, but I know yesstyle recently started carrying their whole line

Does it live up to its claims? Yes. After using this toner for 1 month, I&#39;ve noticed that my skin texture is smoother after weeks of mask acne. I&#39;ve been developing constant ccs due to the trapped humidity and heat of the mask around my jaw, but this toner has calmed down a lot of my irritation and texture. The consistency is very watery, so I often put 2-3 layers and I&#39;ve found that my skin has been generally more resilient throughout the day (less redness, less oil). Most youtubers seem to use it for toner masking, which I will soon try! It does seem to be more soothing than hydrating, but hydrating nonetheless.  This toner has reached HG status.

The ingredients are very clean-- as reiterated throughout their branding. Unless you have an allergy to any of the extracts, or an extreme sensitivity to butylene glycol (which I sometimes do have, but this toner seems to work as butylene is farther down the list), I can&#39;t see it wreaking havoc on most skin. Perhaps, the worst case is it does nothing. YMMV of course (!!), but I&#39;ve never been so impressed with a product that I&#39;ve been compelled to post about it. Sensitive skin girls, unite!

The main star ingredient in this serum is called viniferine, which is extracted from grapevine sap and is apparently 62 times more effective than vitamin C. Pause for excitement. I’m no scientist, but I’m guessing this is where the crazy brightening comes from.
I  feel like my skin definitely is brighter. I do use other brightening products that I trust and love, but since I added this into my routine, I really noticed a difference.

My first experience using this serum is quite satisfying. I didn’t experience any rashes or any new acne on my face. I like the texture of the serum it is lightweight and it absorbs quickly into the skin. The serum delivers the claim on minimal irritation as my skin is prone to sensitive side but I didn’t experience any irritation the entire time I’m adopting the serum into my routine since Green tangerine Vita C Dark Spot Serum is free from 20 harmful ingredients that can irritate the skin but it depends on the skin type and condition of an individual.

 my acne was hella irritated and there’s those huge bumps under the skin that hurt bruh I don’t even do all that I just cleanse my face, and put on the toner and this serum plus moisturizers.

However, I noticed an immense change in my skin after using this serum for 2 weeks. Most of the pimples on the right side of my face are flattened or dried out, and the upper part of the left side is clearing up as well. My acne scars are also gone and my skin has brightened up really well.  Overall I am very happy with the results and I cannot recommend this serum enough.

It&#39;s like the sleeping lip mask but lighter. I used to wear their lip mask during the day as a lip balm too, and I really didn’t mind the texture, because even though it is super thick, it’s not sticky. And I also loved how it made my lips look suuuper juicy and lasted quite a while, especially compared to regular lip balms. 

The only thing that was bothering me (especially when I was on the go) is how I’d have to dip my fingers in the jar to reapply. This solves the hygiene issue.
