After asking Picky for Vitamin C serum recommendation, I picked this one because it is the most recommended one. I bought this online for 650 pesos (approx. 13 USD) on Shopee Ph. This one's a bit budget friendly for a student like me.
After using it for a week, here is my review. Might edit this weekly for two months to see the real result.
How I use it:
The consistency is like any other serum which is a bit runny but only a hint of viscosity. The color is quite orangey and its scent is like when you smell a slice of lime. This reminded me of the time I used to rub pure lemon on my face when I was a teenager. I apply this on damp skin, directly after showering because I don't use toner in the morning.
Effects on my skin:
My skin absorbs it quite fast. This is my first time using Vitamin C and serum so when I applied it, my face became warm and reddish but I didn't feel any stinging or burning sensation. However, the warm feeling gradually disappears every time I use it.
Week 1:
The most immediate result that I observed after applying this is that it plumps up my skin and temporarily removes mini wrinkles under my eyebags. After a week of using it, my scars brighten a bit. This seems to be a promising serum for a beginner. I hope to see more results soon.
Week 2:
This seems to be working too well in a few weeks for me. My mini wrinkles seems to permanently fade unlike my first week where my wrinkles would show after washing it on my night routine.
I updated my photo below. The first pic was taken before I started using the serum and the second pic was taken after using it for 3 weeks.
Week 3-5:
Nothing new happened. It just continues to plump up and brighten my scars.
Week 6:
I think the brightening effect slowed down. Nothing changed since my last week but the plumping effect from the hyaluronic acid is still present. I can't update the pic because I had acne on my cheek and that could be misleading to my review readers.
