The texture of this serum is watery & it absorbs very well. It does stay sticky for a little bit but eventually does absorb thankfully. It has a very low percentage of vitamin C in it, so I haven't seen any brightening effects yet, but it does do a great job at hydrating my skin and giving it a healthy appearance.
This makes my skin SO oily for some reason, only a short time after using it, so it's strictly a nighttime skincare product for me. It also has a very low percentage of vitamin C (1%), so don't expect any drastic results, at least not right away.
