Dr Dennis Gross Dr. Vitamin C Lactic 15% Vitamin C Firm & Brighten Serum: Visibly Improve Signs of Aging, 1 oz

66 years on the planet + a love of the sun = visible damage to my skin. I bet I’ve used 20 products that promised to reduce the appearance of dark spots, but not one of them did the trick. I kept asking myself when I’d give up and simply live with a problem I created myself, but dammit, I’m stubborn (and maybe a sucker?)!! I tried again last month, choosing this after reading reviews from multiple sources. My expectations were low, but for the affordable price, I figured I’d give it a shot. Well. Color me impressed beyond all reason. Three weeks in, a spot on my arm **fell right off**. Like, it was there one second, then it was a little piece of skin that had peeled away and was lying in the sink. A spot on one hand is also disappearing, albeit a bit slower. This stuff works! It really, actually, truly works. I’m thrilled and shocked and need to spread the word. I don’t wear make-up so I have no idea how it interacts with it, but on its own, it’s sticky. It also doesn’t smell terrific, but in a choice of scent over results, I’ll take results! A little goes a darned long way, so a great value.

Works great - pleased with it.

I'm generally not too crazy about more watery or thinner serums like this one, as I find them a bit difficult to get to my face before they've run down my hands and onto my palms. This product is a thin, oily, orangey liquid serum. It is dispensed with a dropper, which is convenient for the format, and it's hygienic, as well. This serum does spread pretty easily on my skin. Actually, I tend to apply it to my fingertips, then gently (and quickly!) tap it into my skin, only lightly rubbing where necessary. It has a sort of earthy scent, which I found off-putting at first, but have since grown accustomed to it. My skin drinks it right up, so there's no oily residue or super shiny sheen left after a few minutes, and this stuff plays well with all my other skincare choices--no pilling or other weird reactions, thanks to its watery texture, I guess. And speaking of reactions, my sensitive skin hasn't had any with this product. It doesn't soothe my skin, exactly, but it certainly doesn't irritate it, either. Most importantly, I think this serum brightens my complexion, and I'm quite sure it is helping any dark spots to lighten and fade. I will definitely continue to use it. After efficacy, the most important feature in skin care for me is compassion, so I ALWAYS look for skincare products that are cruelty-free. That's one reason Dr. Dennis Gross is one of my very favorite brands! They are consistently, deliberately, and reliably always cruelty-free, so you won't be kept up at night getting guilt wrinkles from your skincare choices. And that's a thing of beauty.

Strange scent but works well

This vitamin C oil is a very good product. It leaves your face soft and smooth. I was able to see results in the texture of my face . It improved the look of fine lines and pores . Great value for the price I use it every morning and will definitely purchase it again . I am extremely satisfied with the results. It even fades dark spots !!
