It comes in a 10ml (two pieces) dark brown glass dropper bottle. PAO expiry is 12 months, although in the packaging it says that it's best to use it within three months once you opened it. Rules for Vitamin C, never stock up and don't let it sit. Once opened, use it immediately before it oxidizes. Store it in a dark cool place, avoiding direct sunlight and high temperature.
Anyhoo, this serum contains 15% pure Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid). Other key ingredients include Vitamin E, Ferulic Acid, Fullerene, Gluconolactone, and Ubiquinone to stabilize and boost its antioxidant properties.

I love this serum. It made my skin so smooth overnight. Yes, seriously, that morning after the first night I used it, I woke up with the smoothest-looking skin. And when I washed my face in the shower, not only it feels so smooth, it feels so soft too. I've never experienced these before with any skincare product. And to think that this is my first ever "the real deal" Vitamin C serum, my skin just loves it, no irritation, no redness, no itchiness, just the good stuff.
The texture is very lightweight and watery that it sinks into my skin instantly. Dries down in seconds without any stickiness at all, but it doesn't feel hydrating nor moisturizing. It's just a straightforward treatment. After two weeks of continous use, I noticed that my skin looks more even and those post acne marks have lightened up.
It gives a slight stinging feeling on my skin in every use, but subsides after a few seconds. Heads up, it stings on active acne like crazy, but then again it will dissipates after a while. So, I suggest don't use it if you are breaking out unless you have a high pain tolerance. Or if you have sensitive skin, better to just totally avoid it and treat those acne first before trying it out to prevent any potential irritation.
I am very optimistic about this serum. I will be finishing the two bottles to see how well it plays in regards to my old PIH. It's a bit expensive yet my skin loves it and I see results, but I would still want to try other Vitamin C serums in the meantime.
