I really like the packaging of this serum. It feels high end for a cetaphil product. The glass bottle and the pink lid make it look aesthetically pleasing. Despite containing vitamin c, the serum itself is clear in colour and does have very small particles of shimmer in it, which gives a nice glow to the skin. It feels very smooth when applied and spreads easily. I was curious to see if it would pill when layered with my other skincare products, but that was not the case! Application wise, it’s perfect. It doesn’t leave a sticky residue like other serums do. In terms of ingredients, I was very happy to see that this contains glycerin and niacinamide as the 2 highest ingredients on the list. They don’t disclose the percentage of vitamin C in the product, however, the vitamin C derivative (ascorbic acid) is the 6th ingredient on the list. This serum is also non comedogenic for people who worry about it being acne safe. And it’s fragrance- free, which I love! Based on the ingredients, it’s mainly the niacinamide and ascorbic acid that will help to reduce dark spots and even out the skin tone. Overall, I’m very happy with the this serum. I can’t comment yet on its effectiveness in fading acne scars, but I do notice an improvement in the skin tone of my face. I’ve been using it for about it a month now and I think I will end up repurchasing it!
